This a list of website that I look at or use on a regular basis. It is not comprehensive and there are probably many equally good sites of which I am blissfully unaware.

GreenTours: I have been travelling with Ian Green and his company since 1994 and they have taken me to some wonderful places and shown me some wonderful things (although I have found one or two myself...).   Depending on how you count the trips, do three one week trips in Turkey combined into one count as one or three?  I have been on close to 50 Greentours trips so they must be doing something right!  A few of my pictures appear in their brochure and website.

MarLin: A must for any one with an interest in marine life from around the UK. Like most of the websites more geared up for divers rather than those shore based but a good first point of call and if you have any interest at all in recording marine life then sign up to do so! Beware the recording page can be a little cumbersome to use and you must know exactly how many species you are going to enter in a session. Has a gallery and picture of a large number of marine species

My An Illustrated Natural History of Social Isolation hosted by Alan King - a four month diary of the first Covid lockdown in the UK looking at the wildlife (mainly insects) that I found during that time,

Andy Rouse: His short TV series was certainly inspiring as are his books and although I don't like all of his images overall they are pretty darn good!

Anton Gorlin Photography: Australian Landscape and Real Estate Photographer – Anton Gorlin is a landscape and a real estate photographer working in Sydney, NSW, and Australia. He provides online editing lessons, in-field seascape workshops.

Jeremy Early's book and photographs "My side of the Fence".  A really good book and images from a Surrey garden, especially the insect photography.  Highly recommended.

And for identification and recording what you see I can recommend iNaturalist (and my blog on the site - started August 2024).  I have found the site to be really good for some  insect groups but not so good for others.

Free Downloads

The following are PDFs of my images that can be downloaded for free.

      "Some London Views"

"Insects of Richmond Park and Ham Common" (maybe updated as new information comes along)
       Part 1 - Beetles
       Part 2 - Lepidoptera
       Part 3 - Hymenoptera
       Part 4 - Diptera

Photo-book from my 2023 trip to the Chiapas, Mexico

Also from 2023
       "Birds of Ecuador 2023"
       "Some Butterflies of Ecuador"

2024 was also a good travelling year and I spent 3 wks in Colombia and 3 wks in Turkey early in the year.  In November I went to Mexico again!

       "Mexico 2024" 

I hope you find some of these of interest (or use).
