Sirens of the canopy
£9.99

A practical guide to photographing British wildlife — written from experience spent in the woods, fields, and dawns of the Cotswold edge.

This isn't just a guide about a camera or the latest gear. It focusses on the main skill; the fieldcraft — the slower, older, harder part of wildlife photography that no equipment upgrade will teach you. How to find your subject. How to approach without disturbing. How to read light, weather, and behaviour. And how to build the patience the field actually asks of you.

Written for wildlife photographers, the guide covers general fieldcraft principles, ethics, and light, followed by species-specific chapters on roe deer, tawny owls, foxes, buzzards, red kites, and more — each written from time spent with the animal.

Luck in this art belongs to the unnoticed. One thing you never want, is to alert the sirens of the canopy.
