Welcome to my pages devoted to British wild orchids. I am a keen amateur naturalist who is constantly amazed at the variety, abundance and sheer beauty of the wildlife to be found in the British Isles. These pages aim to show just some of this cornucopia and I hope that the content proves to be of interest and encourages others to take an interest in our countryside.

About Me!
Most images can be clicked on to bring up a larger rendition.
All the wildlife related images on these pages are mine (except where credited) and have been derived from 35mm transparencies and digital photographs. Images on these pages may not be used for any commercial purpose without my express permission.
The transparencies were taken with a Minolta X-700 with a 90mm macro lens and a 28 - 200mm telephoto lens and a Canon EOS30 complete with Canon 100mm macro lens and 28-105mm lens and ring flash. The digital images were taken with a Canon EOS300D using the Canon lenses above. This set-up is complemented by a Benbo tripod that allows complete flexibility in positioning.
I am a Customer Manager (Professional Services Manager and Programme Manager hybrid) for WorkPlace Systems plc, a leading provider of workforce management solutions. I am a software/electronics engineer by background.
I have been interested in British wildlife since an early age and belong to a number of wildlife organisations - BBOWT (Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust), the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) and Plantlife.
