Last week, I asked Paul Wilkinson Photography in Buckinghamshire to take some professional photos for me.
I’ve known Paul for a while, and he’s a really talented photographer, a master of his craft.
Thank you Paul, for your amazing work on Wednesday’s shoot.

Three years ago, I deleted an app I’d used daily for months. Not because it didn’t work, but because I finally read the privacy policy. The realisation that I’d been the product, not the customer, stayed with me.

It's arrived! Pan-species Listing: How to Become a Super-Naturalist published by @pelagicpublishing. My first book.
I am so pleased with it. It looks amazing, all those photos of incredible British species really make this a very colourful book and a celebration of how fantastic our wildlife is.

I've been super busy over the past twenty-six days, so much so that I hardly noticed the dismal global event of 'Blue Monday'.
Even the weekends have zipped by just like any workday! But let me tell you, all that hard work has been worth it, and I can't wait to share an exciting announcement soon!
