    About this ebook

    Villager Jim, the famous Peak District photographer, takes us on a journey to his very favorite places on the moors surrounding the Peak District National Park, where he lives. From wonderful wild deer to breathtaking buzzards and other birds of prey, Jim allows us a glimpse of his daily moorland travels with all the abundant wildlife that lives in that part of the world. Jim often concedes that it is his most favorite place on earth, being out alone with his camera within this unforgiving landscape, watching the sun rise on the horizon, whilst at the same time, seeing stags wander, grazing on the moorland. It is here also that many of his favorite birds of prey abound. And, of course, he is there to capture the beautiful landscape shots rolling in mists or washed in the golden light of dawn.

      Too Hot For Big Billy Buck

      July marks perhaps the most exciting time of year for roe stalking, though it is too early for the rut and the days too long. But there is a glimmer of hope a couple of weeks away. The Glastonbury of deerstalking — that is, the British roe rut — is a

      Villager Jim's Moorland Wildlife - Villager Jim

      Introduction

      If ever there was a job worth getting up for in the morning, being a wildlife photographer is top of the list for me. What started as a hobby after a move from city life to the countryside has developed into the best new career imaginable, and I wouldn’t change it for anything.

      Living in the heart of the Peak District, I am spoiled on a daily basis by what Nature gives. From sweeping barren moorlands to well-managed fields and country lanes teeming with wildlife, the landscapes are wonderfully diverse, offering distinctive scenes and moods with each season. My journeys with my camera encompass them all.

      I go out always an hour before dawn. Of course, that is a different time every day: in early summer it is around 4.00 am and in the bleak midwinter, around 7.00 am. The weather can change very quickly at any time of year, and when Nature throws her worst at you, some of the best photographic opportunities often open up. Rolling mists are always exciting, and when I spot wildlife in their midst, that is a bonus. I learnt very early on to endure all weathers – having a good coat and warm gloves certainly helps. The day I don’t go out may be the day that I miss a spectacular opportunity. My most famous image of all – The Ascent of Stag – was taken in murky, drizzly and foggy conditions. I had nearly decided not to go that day as it seemed a bit pointless, but oh my goodness, did I nearly miss out! Those moments don’t give two hoots about the
