    Cameras and Equipment

    The equipment I use is a Canon 30D with Sigma 50-500mm lens. I also have a garden hide from which I take most of my pictures.

    Default Rodrigues Fruit Bat

    Captured at Newquay Zoo, this beautiful bat kindly posed for me. The Rodrigues Bat is critically endagered.
