Some of my travels…

Kea (Nestor notabilis)
New Zealand Grand Tour — 2023 - On this world-wind tour of New Zealand we travelled from the top all the way down to Stewart Island in the south, in just 18 days. The aim was to see most of the fascinating endemic species New Zealand had to offer.
Around Spitsbergen in 10 days - On this cruise around Spitsbergen we saw polar bears and walruses, lots of birds and rain deer. There were many glaciers with torrents of melting ice, and lots of arctic flowers everywhere.
Chinstrap Penguins
Antarctic Eclipse - My Antarctic Adventure took me to a beautiful, pristine wilderness, covered in ice and snow. There, in breathtaking landscapes, I watched penguins, seals, and whales in their natural environment.
Iceland in autumn - This short trip across southern Iceland showed us some of its spectacular landscapes with lava fields, waterfalls, glaziers, and icebergs. The northern lights also provided a great show for us.
Bhutan Adventure - Starting in the east, our wonderful Bhutan wildlife adventure took us right across the country to the west along the slopes of the Himalayas, reaching just above 4000 metres at our highest point.
Scarlet Ibis
Trinidad & Tobago – April 2019 - With rainforests, mangrove swamps, savannahs and tropical reefs, this was presented as a nature lovers paradise and we were not disappointed.
Extremadura – in search of Cranes - Huge flocks of cranes winter in Extremadura and I wanted to see them. With plenty of birds, and good food as well, we had a great time during this intensive birding trip.
Birding in the Land of the Midnight Sun - This fantastic birding bonanza took us from the lakes and forests of Finland to the fjords and mountains of northern Norway.
Yellowstone Eclipse - It was a perfect combination of wildlife, geology and a solar eclipse in the Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks.
Speyside & Orkney – June 2017 - The weather did not stop us enjoying this wildlife trip and Orkney had some fascinating archaeological sites.
Extremadura – Spring 2016 - With lots of flowers and butterflies as well as the many brilliant birds, this was a lovely place to visit.
Cherry Blossom in Japan - A trip down memory lane as well as exploring new places, Japan never disapoints.
China, August 2013 - We had a wonderful family holiday travelling through China. We walked on the Great Wall, looked at Pandas and paddled in the Li River. It was a perfect mix of interesting culture and wonderful landscapes.
