I have written numerous wildlife features over recent years. They include nature features for national newspapers and magazines, including The Times, Guardian, Daily Mail, The Independent, BBC Countryfile magazine, Woman's Weekly, and cover features for BBC Wildlife magazine and the RSPB's Nature's Home magazine - a selection of which are shown below.
In addition I have written a wide range of nature features for regional daily newspaper the Western Morning News as well as the Western Daily Press, including a series on identifying common wildlife and on rare species of the South West.
I have taken to the airwaves talking about British wildlife on local BBC radio stations, including BBC Radio Devon. I have also appeared in short segments on the BBC TV series Springwatch and Coast.
Features on my travels for my book Few And Far Between have appeared in the RSPB magazine Nature's Home, BBC Wildlife magazine and The Independent. I have also been a Guardian Country Diary contributor since 2017.
