Title: Mountain hare
Description: This particular day at my local moorland was freezing! After walking for hours I finally spotted this mountain hare. After an hour of steady approach, I was the closest I've ever been to a mountain hare. The sun was setting and the mountain hare was fully relaxed in my presence, so I was able to photograph this individual up close as the sun was going down. -

Title: Mountain hare in snowfall
Description: I spend a lot of time on my local moorland, which is one of the few places in England to see mountain hares. One day I set off three hours before snow was predicted to fall, which allowed me to find a hare, successfully approach it and then lie low and wait for the snow. The flurry of snow took over against the dark rock, where this mountain hare began to disappear in its environment, so I was able to take this shot. -

Title: A short rest
Description: Early one morning I headed out to a place where I'd seen wheatears, hoping to photograph them before they continued their migration to upland breeding grounds. A flash of movement in front of me caught my eye and through my binoculars I could see a female wheatear, freshly arrived from her Channel crossing. I got to eye level to take some photos before carefully moving away, and the next morning the bird was gone. -

Title: A fox through bars
Description: I went down to Ramsgate harbour one evening looking for foxes. After a short while I spotted this fox, behind a metal fence, that was staring straight at me. This allowed me to crouch down and take this photo of the fox staring straight down my lens, framed by the out-of-focus metal bars. -

Title: Art on the ocean
Description: While on holiday in Newquay I noticed the sun sets over the ocean. Each night I walked to the edge of the headland where a trail of light met the land over the ocean, creating a stunning bokeh effect when combined with the correct aperture. After days of watching the sunset I finally got lucky when, for no more than five seconds, this rock pipit stopped before heading off down the coast.
