Butterflies
This is the web site for the Warwickshire branch of Butterfly Conservation - well worth a visit! Some of my butterfly images can be seen on this site.. Large Skipper, Common Blue, Geranium Bronze, Holly Blue, Purple Hairstreak, Marbled White, Ringlet, Silver-washed Fritillary and Brimstone
Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway
This little railway is a credit to all involved. I visited to see a particular engine (9682 as 9789) and was so impressed by the staff who were all VERY freindly and helpful and by the railway which, although modest in its size has a very authentic feel to it. I will be going back and I will take my wife and dogs so that we can take one of the walks described in the visitors guide.

Photographers on Safari
John Wright organises photographic wildlife workshops. I have just come back from one of his Woburn Safari Park workshops and can reccommend it very highly, I was delighted with the whole trip and took some very pleasing images, thanks John!
Steam Recreations
Don Bishop is a great photographer who specialises in 'steam in the landscape' and offers workshops at the West Somerset Railway and other railways, he also organises photo charters at heritage railways around the UK. I recommend him highly to anyone interested in 'train' photography.
Steve Young
Steve is my favourite Bird photographer, his site is well worth a look. He regularly writes for 'Outdoor Photography' and 'Birdwatch' magazines - another good reason to buy them!
