Wildlife portrait photographer from the UK.
February's 2024's issue of A Sharp Eye on Wildlife Photography is on Australia.
The first five previous editions of my free magazine offer 100 wildlife photography tips and promote Wikipedia & Commons.
The Read online links take you to a flipbook.
You can access downloadable pdf versions by visiting the Sharp Eye on wildlife photography page
My web site is www.sharpphotography.co.uk which takes you to images on Flickr. The latest edits and highest resolutions of my images are always here on Commons.
Many of my pictures are taken outside of the UK and the best ones will be in my galleries of favourites,
Featured pictures (502 from 62 countries),
Quality images (3,994) and
Valued images (3,082).
Here is a link to my most recent Featured Pictures.
The quality of Valued Images may not be great, but are provided as reference images - the best Commons has at the moment.

Males are marked ♂ and females ♀
These animals were not photographed in zoos, safari parks, rescue centres, butterfly houses, in captivity or in a studio.
