On retiring from work at the end of 2012  I decided to get back into photography (now digital!) and return to my main interests of birds and military aircraft.  Living in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, I am well placed to explore my interests and hopefully develop my photographic skills, although I still consider myself to be a keen amateur.  Over the past few years my interests have expanded to include wildlife in general, including captive animals in zoos and falconry centres.
