About Me

My photo
Phil Wallace
I love birds and try to photograph what I see. I'm happy if I get one really good photo from an outing. I'm based in Surrey so most of my trips are in the South East. I've had some photos published. I use Canon equipment now but have also used Nikon a lot in the past.
