You may have noticed a few things shifting around inside The Wildlife Lens. That’s intentional. I’m reshaping the space so it becomes something far richer than a showcase of my own work — a place where your stories, sightings, and outdoor moments take centre stage. My recent trip to South Africa brought this home in a surprising way. After a lifetime of adventures, I found myself surrounded by younger outdoor enthusiasts, and it struck me how easily I could slip into the role of the “know‑it‑all old hand” who unintentionally dominates the conversation. That’s the last thing I want for this community. The truth is, I’m endlessly fascinated by the everyday magic you encounter outdoors. A tame robin hopping in for mealworms, a Canada Goose gliding into a quiet pond — these moments thrill me just as much as any expedition. They’re reminders that nature isn’t only found in far‑flung landscapes; it’s alive in the ordinary, the local, the familiar. To make space for more of your voices, I’m moving all the heavier resources — the deep‑dive journaling, the structured modules, the long‑form teaching — into the Classroom. That way, the main feed becomes a living, breathing tapestry of your experiences, not a lecture hall. Not to boast but to show you my passion: I have an active Amateur Photography Group of over 3000 members, I take groups to Birding sites regularly across Europe, I also give bird and wildlife lectures. I am an ordained Minister, now retired. I write for fun and am often asked to do business consulting. Over 50 years I’ve published several books — theology, business, motivation, photography, outdoors, birding, even fiction — all now out of print, last published about 15 years ago. The modules I’m building here draw from that same depth of experience. If they were published as a trilogy, they’d be worth around $25, but I’ve set them at $3 each simply to reflect value, not to create a barrier. And if that still feels like a stretch, just message me. I’ll happily give you free access. This has never been about money; it’s about creating something meaningful together.
