With such an abundance of wildlife on our doorsteps, even
for those who live in major cities, there’s a potential for all of us to
capture award-winning wildlife images just a short walk from our front door.


Whether you’ve never shot a nature image in your life or are
never far from your hide, this comprehensive guide is here to offer inspiration
and expert advice.


We speak with top wildlife photographer Andy Rouse to find
out what makes him tick and get his advice for those wanting to follow in his
footsteps. Chris Packham offers a fascinating insight into the mind of a
photographer, as well as delving into the stories behind some of his favourite
images.

enough to some animals, so we look at some of the best lens options out there
to suit a range of budgets, as well as the top wildlife accessories every
wildlife photographer should own. That’s not forgetting our essential guide to
