INTRODUCTION

I have been a professional biologist for all my working life.  I was initially trained as a botanist but later taught and researched in environmental and industrial microbiology in a number of universities.  I have travelled to many locations around the world as part of this work and for pleasure but have now returned to photography as a hobby to record particularly plant and animal images in the places I visit.  The pictures on this site are a record of the types of images that can be obtained by the non-professional photographer who has a limited amount of time at each location and cannot wait indefinitely for the ideal light conditions or behaviour from the animals. I hope that my images may give you pleasure, that you find them a useful reference of what you can expect to see at particular locations or that they may help you to select a place to visit. Since I am a biologist I have tried to provide accurate naming of plants and animals wherever possible, if you spot any errors please let me know so that the necessary corrections can be made.
