Europe
While Nick spends the majority of his time further afield, he does photograph subjects closer to home at times, especially on the Isle of Mull in the Inner Hebrides, Scotland. This is one of the UK's richest and most renowned wildlife locations. It offers the natural history photographer a wide range of enticing potential subject matter from sea eagles and golden eagles (albeit rather difficult), to otters, sea birds and wild flowers. On spring and early summer days, when the daylight lingers long and late, there are few places that compare.
