My name is Andrew Hughes and I am an arable farmer from North West Hampshire. UK. As well as having a passion for Farming, I am passionate about the wildlife and nature on my farm. I have had a very basic interest in photography for many years but have only recently been able to acquire a good camera and set of lenses. In the spring of 2010 whilst taking many photographs around the farm I thought how wonderful it would be to produce a photographic record of as much of the flora and fauna as I could gather. So this is my record so far and all images have been taken on the estate. Along with new species, the current photographs will be gradually replaced with better examples as and when they come along.
Ultimately, I am interested in monitoring population changes from one year to the next on the 700 hectare farming estate I manage. Also I wish to improve my knowledge of how my farm husbandry methods affect the habitat and food sources of the wildlife that share the estate.
I would like to acknowledge all the help I have received from the many groups offering free wildlife advice over the recent year. One group that have been extremely supportive and do invaluable work are the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust.
