The Secret Life of Owls
On Tuesday, some of my footage was on television. It’s the first footage I have ever sold, and it was bought by Windfall Films for a documentary on the new channel ‘5 select’ called ‘The Secret Life of Owls’.

Downing Street
In 2016, I was invited to become a member of the RSPB Phoenix Forum, a group of ten teenagers that represents the whole youth sector of the RSPB membership. This has given me several exciting opportunities, but most recently – in January – it allowed me to visit Westminster and Downing Street, to discuss Read More…

Summer Art
I spent a lot of my holiday doing art for my GCSE sketchbook, and there is a bit of a running theme. I just wanted to do a quick blog post to share some of the stuff I’ve done in the sketchbook so far… Caged dog in Pencil Scapegoat Badger in the style of Dave Read More…
A focus on jumping spiders
This is probably my penultimate blog post of the summer holiday, and I’ve decided to show you a very small, common and humble type of creature found in most gardens all over the country. They are, however, a lot more interesting than most people think. Here’s a summary video to kick off, but if you Read More…
Birdfair 2017
Last night, I got back from my second ever Birdfair, feeling tired and, as expected, a little bit depressed that I would have to wait another year for the next one. Before I begin, I should probably give a quick description of the event, in case anyone has never been before. It is an annual Read More…
