Great start to the morning! I somehow had the luck to photograph Kestrels Mating in New Mills! Awesome!

Dippers are looking for nest sites. Behind a waterfall is well protected from predators, but what happens when the water levels rise?

The Chiffchaffs have returned to New Mills in March 2026, very easy to hear, very tricky to spot.

A short reel about the birds I've seen in mid January in New Mills, and finally, after years of trying, I managed to get the Kingfisher flying up the waterfall.

The UK’s tiniest bird, with a punk hairstyle.

I was just trying to edit some video footage of a Kingfisher wiht an absolute monster of a fish, so I could upload it to instagram. It was the first time I had used iMovie on the Macbook, and it sort of took over, and I kept having to add more and more parts to some weird script. Anyway, here it is. A completely over the top Movie Trailer.

Made using iMovie and iMovie music.

On a cold wintry morning, I went looking to get some photos and footage of Mrs Kingfisher whilst the morning light was better than it had been.

Will I see Mrs Kingfisher? Could I get any decent footage? Would it be automatically a good day?

I made this video to submit to Winterwatch, for which it had to be shot on mobile phone footage. It is about my 9 year old’s quest to get his first photo of a Kingfisher.
