Red deer are one of my favourite animals and are an icon of British wildlife. Stags, in particular, are magnificent when they bellow and the  sun illuminates their breath on a cold morning. I loved the interplay between the warm browns and the cool blues which create a more dynamic picture and add to the atmosphere. I added the swallows to complement t

Pileated Woodpeckers, native to North America, are very striking birds thanks to their red crests. This woodpecker was seen by a friend travelling in America and I was drawn to the contrast between the red of its crest and the green forest behind.

I saw these Red deer at Studley Royal Estate in Yorkshire. This herd was used to people and so were content with me sitting close by to take photos. The Lime tree they're standing beneath is a common feature of the Estate and provided the perfect place for the deer to rest.
