Many species of herptile are protected in the UK which means it can be difficult to get images of them legally however for the photo workshop we have captive bred specimens of lots of critters for unique images you'd never be able to get in the wild.

Last year I fulfilled a lifelong dream to Visit Australia and headed to Melbourne with my wife and friends. I immediately fell in love with it all the wildlife, great food and of course packed a rod as I really wanted to get myself a Murray Cod.

Might not look like much but this is the source of the River Trent on Biddolph Moor in Staffordshire not often I can say I had both feet either side of the Trent. With my book “Great British River” out in April was lovely to see this as the Trent is featured.

Starting on the 28th Feb I'm teaching a 5 week wildlife photography course with Nottingham Trent Uni. Field trips, editing sessions, photo printing, studio work, photo critiques and much more! Still a few spaces left if interested.

I often see with fish I.D that people will quote colour as absolute way to I.D fish species but fish change colour so rapidly, best you use it as a helpful marker but saying "it doesn't have red fins" doesn't mean its not a roach as is the case with this image of a roach with almost clear fins.

One thing I’m keen to do film more European fish and I have plans to try for Vimba, Burbot and a few others this year. I’m very tempted to visit some of the Spanish and Portuguese rivers for the various barbel species and endemics to.

I'm on the hunt for a venue with crucians in Nottinghamshire I seem to be drawing a blank on fisheries. Ideally if anyone knows any landowners / farmers who might have some old ponds with might have some original fish in I'd be keen to make contact.

I've only caught one red mullet a few years and had a handful of experiences of them on my cameras when filming on the south coast. they have two barbels under the chin which they use to find food hidden in the sand.
