He is a very experienced photographer specialising in natural history subjects. He is a member of the British Dragonfly Society and its Dragonfly Conservation Group and he is the County Dragonfly Recorder for Devon. He is an accomplished writer/editor including being co-author of Britain’s Dragonflies, Europe’s Dragonflies and The Atlas of Dragonflies in Britain and Ireland.
