Welcome to my new-look 'In Search of Birds' website. It features my best bird photos and will, in time, feature my birding-related travels. Please also take a look at my blog dedicated solely to photography, which documents my attempts with all the good, bad, highs, lows and grey areas of this fantastic hobby, and my birding (and anything else!) blog.

All my Ecuador photos and my photos from summer 2008 onwards are available as prints or for publication, so feel free to contact me if you would like to use one. The originals are RAW/TIFF files and, as such, are of a higher quality than you see on the web - photos on the web are necessarily low-res for speed of loading, especially for those still on dial-up.

All my best photos will appear here but as space is limited (300 photos) the majority of my pics will still be on my PBase photo site.

Feel free to email me at vectis_birderATyahoo.co.uk (substitute an @ for the AT to make a live link - this is to prevent spam).

Should, for whatever reason, the vectisbirder.co.uk URL stop working, then use http://insearchofbirds.photium.com which will also bring you here.

Updated the links. If you want a link added, just drop me a line via the contact form. I'm off to Asia and Australia for three months of birding and photo-taking on Monday, and I'm keeping a special blog dedicated to the trip. You can find that by clicking here

Changed the colour scheme as fancied a change and also, the photos look better against a darker background.
