  • Hidden in a wooden hut, a group of bird-spotting ornithologists peer through binoculars at the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) rreserve at Rainham Marshes, Essex England. Watching dozens of wintering birds, the group are intensely looking through their optical equipment in anticipation of seeing rare breeds at this Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), a wetland alongside the River Thames, 20 miles from Central London. A narrow slit is open to keep them hidden from sight so leaning on elbows and with a guide sheet in front to identify particular species, they concentrate on their hobby. The RSPB has 200 nature reserves covering almost 130,000 hectares, home to 80% of Britain's rarest or most threatened bird species. Its role is to speak out for birds and wildlife, tackling the problems that threaten the environment.

  • A detail of poetry and sentences forming 'Graveyard of Lost Species', a boat artwork created by by artists and commissioned by Arts Catalyst, at low-tide on the Thames estuary, at Leigh creek, on 10th September 2019, in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, England. The project celebrates the local tradition of wrecking boats on the salt marsh, its decaying memory of what has changed or passed. The boat is the 'Souvenir', a 39-foot Thames 'bawley' (1933) which once served the local fish trade in nearby Southend-on-Sea.

  • Examples of bird wildlife to be found after the extensive conservation project at Barton Broad in the Norfolk Broads. The information board shows us the species and kinds of birdlife thriving in this wetland, a region of east Anglia known for its important natural habitats after decades of neglect. Birds such as Coot, Mallard, Moorhen, Tern and Grebe are all surviving thanks to investment and a commitment to protect native species. Barton Broad is the largest Broad in the Ant Valley. It is a man-made landscape impacted by natural processes - the open water is a result of flooded peat diggings. The fen habitat around Barton Broad contributes to the largest fenland expanse in the UK and contains rare vegetation.

  • Pigeon pest controller, Sue Van Vynck releases Harriet, her Harris Hawk (Parabuteo unicinctus) to scare away the local pigeon population. The ancient sport of Falconry has become today's humane pest control of choice, particularly as costs falls. Once a pigeon population has been scared away, it requires only a token hawk presence to keep it away. Van Vynck Bird Control is a specialist company providing over 25 years, a range of environmental services dealing with nuisance bird management. They are pioneers of specialist techniques such as the use of predatory species (such as falconry) to displace and interrupt behavioural patterns as well as offering a complete range of physical deterrents. Here at Broadgate the nuisance was pigeons and Harriet leaves Sue's gloved hand to patrol the architecture of this 32 acres (129,499 m2) office and retail space.

  • Displayed in the window of a traditional Chinese medicine shop in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, are the labels and plastic bags containing some of the 500 Chinese herbs that are in use today in Eastern herbal remedies, of which 250 or so are very commonly used in the treatment of ailments and diseases. Rather than being prescribed individually, single herbs are combined into formulas designed to adapt to specific needs of individual patients. Herbal formulas contain from 3 to 25 herbs or animal parts, some sourced from endangered species. As with diet therapy, each herb has one or more of the five flavours/functions and one of five "temperatures" ("Qi") (hot, warm, neutral, cool, cold). After the herbalist determines the energetic temperature and functional state of the patient's body, they prescribe a mixture of herbs tailored to balance disharmony.

  • "Homo erectus." At the exact moment that a young human being walks for the first time, an eleven month-old girl infant conquers her fear and takes her first tentative upright unaided steps. After months of building lower leg strength by pushing and leaning against household objects, she now leaves the protective hands of a delighted but nervous mother who relishes the joyous moment of her offspring's great achievement. The girl's legs and hips help propel her forward motion, naturally making her an upright bi-pedal species. This is from a documentary series of pictures about the first year of the photographer's first child Ella. Accompanied by personal reflections and references from various nursery rhymes, this work describes his wife Lynda's journey from expectant to actual motherhood and for Ella - from new-born to one year-old.

  • Young common hornbeams growing in a Herefordshire meadow. Freshly-trimmed and shaped, the young saplings are spaced around this garden field. Like alders and hazels, hornbeams are part of the birch family, all of which produce male and female flowers in the form of catkins. In hornbeams, the catkins are normally hidden until spring. There are around 70 species of hornbeams found worldwide, mainly in East Asia, but the one most often found in the British Isles is the common hornbeam.

  • A male Greater Spotted Woodpecker stands on the top of a chimney pot where, affectionately heard by residents around this south London suburban neighbourhood, it announces its presence to others every day by drumming on the metal chimney covering, on 25th April 2022, in south London, England. The Great Spotted Woodpecker is a member of the woodpecker family Picidae. Instead of singing to declare their territory, woodpeckers drum to advertise their presence to others. They usually require wood with particular resonant qualities for this purpose but this bird has been ptapping on local aerials and metal surfaces to the amusement of nearby south Londoners.

  • Bird fanciers admire caged tropical birds in the Grand Place (Grote Markt, in Flemish) bird market, Brussels, Belgium, on 24th June 1992, in Brussels, Belgium. In the cages are small birds from tropical countries, on sale every Sunday for those wanting avian company in their homes. The Brussels Grand Place hosts this bird market and the selection and prices are generally better than can be found in pet shops though the origins of these creatures are questionable. The Grand Place is Brussels’ main city square, the focal point for colourful events throughout the year. Its Dutch-styled gabled guildhalls date from the 13th century and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The unconscious child is a few months old and the parent stands expertly holding both hot liquid and infant as if juggling pleasure and parenthood simultaneously. The sleeping child is limp in the father's arm and is dressed in the same scarlet red as the vibrant colour on the wall behind. We only see the man's upper-legs and torso but the baby is tiny against his body making the scale of both young and old. otherwise, the generic room is bare of decoration or possessions - only a drying cloth and chopping board is seen on the draining board, near plain white tiles.

  • "One candle." A family are gathered to celebrate the first birthday of a young child, the back garden of her parent's south London home. The birthday girl reaches out to touch the single lit candle on a chocolate log cake while her grandmother and mother both show her how to blow and extinguish the flame instead. Friends and relatives are sat around the garden on a perfect late-summer afternoon, drinking and laughing on this joyous occasion, a milestone in the first year of any young life. This is from a documentary series of pictures about the first year of the photographer's first child Ella. Accompanied by personal reflections and references from various nursery rhymes, this work describes his wife Lynda's journey from expectant to actual motherhood and for Ella - from new-born to one year-old.

There is a marked difference between the youthful, upright posture of the young girl to the hunched and bent stance of the old woman who stands supporting herself on a brolley. It is a picture that compares youth with old age, the delight that a person of later years shows to a child whose life reaches far ahead.

  • Park users feed the very common green Parakeets by hand, in Kensington Park, on 2nd April 2021, in London, England. According to the RSPB, the ring-necked, or rose-ringed, parakeet is the UK's most abundant naturalised parrot. It became established in the wild in the 1970s after captive birds escaped or were released. It is a well-known resident of the greater London area, roosting communally in large flocks. The population has been increasing steadily, though it remains concentrated in south-east England. The ring-necked parakeet's native range is a broad belt of arid tropical countryside stretching from west Africa across lowland India south of the Himalayas, where it is a common bird.

  • Bird fanciers admires caged tropical birds in the Grand Place (Grote Markt, in Flemish) bird market, Brussels, Belgium. The archetypal Belgian gentlemen wear flat caps and in the cages are small birds from tropical countries, on sale every Sunday for those wanting avian company in their homes. The Brussels Grand Place hosts a bird market and the selection and prices are generally better than can be found in pet shops though the origins of these creatures are questionable. The Grand Place is Brussels’ main city square, the focal point for colourful events throughout the year. Its Dutch-styled gabled guildhalls date from the 13th century and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

  • An urban tree is protected from a construction site by blue hoarding panels in the City of London. The landscape looks both incongruous and disturbing to the eye with the blue hoarding and its red safety light that glows in the daylight. The carefully planted tree continues to grow in situ on a pavement split between paving stones and a worn grass verge in the heart of the capital's financial district otherwise known as the Square Mile, after its circling Roman wall..
