The Birds

A couple of weekends ago I joined the IGersWorcestershire team for an instameet in Redditch. We headed up to the top of car park 2 with the hope of seeing over 1000 starlings dancing in the sky, and the show did not disappoint. It was the first time I'd ever seen a murmuration and it truly was an amazing spectacle!

The birds take flight around dusk, moving in from different parts of the town in small groups and build in numbers, making patterns back and forth until they dramatically drop to roost in the conifers below. This is a small selection of images I managed to capture in between staring in awe at the beautiful display.

Behind the Scenes - Move Dancewear

Back in August I was lucky enough to travel to Manchester and hang out with the Move Dancewear team as they shot their Autumn 2017 gymnastic clothing range. The brilliant Mark Howe was in charge of photography for the day and it was great to see him at work in the studio and on location, and to get involved in the shoot.

Here are some behind the scenes images I captured of local gymnasts Yasmin and Ruby during the shoot.
