• Story of the image

  I woke up very early one spring morning in the hopes of capturing the common kingfisher. I arrived at the lake, and was preparing for a very long wait, but as I was setting up my gear, I spotted a flash of electric blue dart across the water. The kingfisher had arrived! The light was perfect and I love how the reeds behind are illuminated along with the outline of the kingfisher.

  I’m Anwen Whitehead, I started wildlife photography at 14 years old, and since then have loved capturing nature in a unique way. I feel wildlife photography has given me a new perspective on life, and I see the world very differently now. I hope to capture the magic I see in nature in my photos, and inspire others to cherish the wonderful biodiversity of our planet
