The BBC have published an article on my work documenting how nature has started to reclaim the former coal mine at Chatterley Whitfield in Stoke-on-Trent. I spent several years photographing at this now abandoned coal mine, recording the natural rewilding that is occurring on this site.

With their brownish-grey feathers, spotted flycatchers may seem a little dull. To me, spotted flycatchers are beautiful in a subtle understated way. Their fly-catching antics, which have given them their name, involve flying from a perch, dashing to grab a flying insect and then returning to the same perch, are simply charming.

It has been over fifteen years since I last photographed kingfishers and, amongst other things, I now have many new images of them to process.
