People have often asked to view my photos and here is a great way to share a selection.<\/span><\/p>\n

I hope you enjoy looking at these photos as much as I enjoyed being out there taking them.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I have always enjoyed taking photographs, especially of wildlife and birds around the world.
\nEqually enjoya<\/span>ble is being on location to take them. Most of the photos you can view were taken over the past three years in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand. It\u2019s an amazing place with numerous birds to observe and photograph.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve lived here in Paihia for the past 12 years having been born and bred in the North West of England.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>

I presently teach mathematics at the Bay of Islands College in Kawakawa. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As a keen golfer, I am a member of the beautiful\u00a0<\/span>Waitangi Golf Club<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

I truly hope this website inspires locals and visitors to view and maybe photograph for themselves the diversity of species that can be\u00a0<\/span>commonly sighted here. I am happy to help by providing information about where and when the different birds can be viewed.
\n<\/span>Simply contact me.<\/p>\n

All photos are available in high resolution for purchase or approved use.<\/span><\/p>\n

Remember \u2013 if you can\u2019t capture a great photo of a mundane subject, at least take a mundane photograph of a great subject!<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s just great to be out there taking the photographs.<\/span><\/p>\n
