I have recently returned from a wonderful trip to Kenya. Lots of my favourite leopards. I stayed at all four Kicheche Camps and enjoyed them all. Wonderful staff, service and food. I made lots of new friends, thanks to all who made my time there so enjoyable. While away my email and both of my websites went down, they are now hopefully all up and running again. Apologies for any inconvenience.

I have recently returned from Londolozi in South Africa. Londolozi is a beautiful place famous for its leopards, and it did not disappoint. Thanks to all the wonderful staff at Varty Camp for looking after me so well, and to my guide and tracker Melvin and Milton. See below for some images from the trip with a link to a full gallery. Many of these images will be included in my summer exhibition at the gallery@oxo which runs from 2-18 August, open daily 12-6pm.

I am pleased to announce I will be back exhibiting at the gallery@oxo once again in August. The show will run from the 2nd-18th August, open daily from 12-6pm. In 2024 I have visited Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa, so there will be lots of new images along with some of my old favourites.
I recently returned from a trip to Kenya and Tanzania with my friends and fellow photographers Terri and Russ. January would normally be hot, and one of the driest months. In fact there has been heavy rain for most of December and January, and into February. At times we struggled to move about with the mud and the swollen rivers. Despite all this, we had some good sightings and managed to capture some great images.

I am pleased to announce that I am returning to the Gallery@OXO for my Summer 2023 exhibition. The exhibition will open on Friday 21st July and run until Sunday 6th August.
The exhibition will be open daily, from 12 noon to 6pm. I hope to see you there.
During my latest trip to Kenya I enjoyed a leopard fest, including a sighting of a rare and elusive melanistic black leopard named Giza. Giza is a female aged two to three years old. Confirmed sightings of black leopards, especially in Africa, are rare events. Before the most recent verified observation of a black leopard in Kenya, it had been 110 years since one had been photographed (and thus confirmed) in Africa. I think Giza is probably the most beautiful animal I have ever seen. For images of Giza and other leopards click the link here.
This should whet your appetite for this year’s Remembering Wildlife book, the eighth in the series.”Remembering Leopards” which will be published in November. Click on this link for more information:
October brought a return to Kenya. I was able to re-visit Ol Pejeta Conservancy home to the last two Northern White Rhinos (NWR), Najin aged 33 and her daughter Fatu aged 22. Since the death of Sudan, father of Najin and grandfather of Fatu in March 2018, they are the very last remaining of the species.
I heard the latest news of the embryos now being created by scientists, in total, they have managed to produce and cryopreserve 22 pure NWR embryos. Later this year they intend to start implanting these in the hope of producing offspring.
I stayed at Kicheche Camp in Ol Pejeta and then at Kicheche Camp in Mara North Conservancy. As ever enjoyed my time at both camps, thanks to all the great staff who made my visit so special. I then went on to Olare Motorogi Conservancy where I stayed at Olare Mara Kempinski, now a firm favourite of mine.
I experienced some great leopard sightings, including a first for me, a leopard (Akira) in a beautiful Euphorbia Candelabra tree in gorgeous early morning light. Very special images, I hope you enjoy viewing them.
In October I also received my copy of the latest Remembering Wildlife series book which this year is Remembering Bears. The wonderful Margot Raggett has done it again, a beautifully produced book, with work from internationally acclaimed photographers, I have been lucky enough to be included. My photograph is of a giant panda taken in Sichuan, China.
Remembering Bears is the seventh book in the celebrated Remembering Wildlife fundraising series, which has so far raised more than £920,000 for conservation projects since it began in 2016.

I have recently returned from another wonderful visit to Kenya. I spent time in Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, famous for both it’s black and white rhinoceroses. I also visited Mara North Conservancy and Olare Motorogi Conservancy.
In Lewa, as well as the rhinoceroses, I was able to photograph some of the animals seen only in Northern Kenya, such as the beautiful Grevys zebra, the Reticulated Giraffe and Gerenuk Gazelle, some in front of Mount Kenya.
