It's probably better to confess to coming from Wales than from Croydon! Nah, Croydon was ok, I lived there for 25 years and spent my yoof there and wouldn't have it any other way ) Have you found many places to go for wildlife? I used to find I had to travel a fair distance, i.e. out to the Surrey Hills, etc, before I hit greenery.

Just wanted to make another point about selling photos, don't want to be negative (.. scuse the pun!) about it, but this is such a competitive market now, seems like everyone is doing it, so you have to be absolutely perfect at what you are doing and even then I would imagine those people still have difficulty selling pix. I go to a local camera club and we recently had a presentation by a professional wildlife photographer who sells his pix to magazines, etc - his name is steve magennis and if you google his name you will find his website, you might like to check that out to see his photos to pick up some tips. (p.s. his photos of birds can be found under 'recent work' - for some odd reason he doesn't seem to have a section for birds under 'Gallery'.)
