Bird & Critter Photography

Bird & Critter Photography I’ve been lucky to capture the beauty of wildlife both here in the Hunter Valley and around the world.

From my 15-acre property with its protected creek full of birds and critters, to wild places abroad, I love sharing glimpses of the natural world.

I was out in the garden when I heard an unusual bird call high up in the treetops — about 30 metres away! I looked up just in time to catch a flash of brilliant red — a stunning Scarlet Honeyeater! ❤️ Managed to snap this shot just before he disappeared again. Moments like this make wildlife photography such a thrill!
