Starting the blog

I have started a blog to show the story behind the making of the book "Chalk Streams - A Unique Environment Worth Conserving". I have decided to take all of the photographs myself and has and still is an all absorbing focus over many months, albeit “ on location” only once a week. I suppose it has been a bit of a mission to bring attention to these amazing but fragile and threatened environments. To make a record of these habitats in case they deteriorate in the future - which is quite likely. Most of the photographs have been taken in the last year or so. All have been taken on chalk streams and in water meadows and chalk down valleys. I want all the shots of the wildlife featured in the book to be taken in-situ. In other words in the chalk stream environment, which has been a real challenge as the wildlife don’t appear to order and I live more than an hour and half drive away. The logistics therefore have been a significant factor in producing this book and I have relied on many people for help identifying likely locations for individual target species. More of this later when I give the back story to some of the shots. 
Over the next weeks I will post an image and then give the back story.
