I have lost count of the hours I have spent watching and photographing badgers, in the fields around my home and in the gardens of friends who are fortunate to have them as visitors. My love affair with these beautiful sentient animals began many years ago with a young badger cub that I spent time with in one of these fields.

Over the last three years, I have spent many long hours watching and photographing the ring ouzels that breed each summer in the Peak District. This blog contains a selection of images from this work.
