The Team

Robert Wilson

Rob's passion for bird watching began with an exceptional career in bird photography in 1985. He has been a regular contributor to monthly magazines with work featured in Birding World, Bird Watch, Bird Watching, British Birds, Dutch Birding and various county reports and books since then. He has always found quality in Canon equipment and currently uses 2 Canon EOS-1D Mark IIN's with various lenses including 600mm IS, 100-400mm IS, 20-35mm wide angle, 28-70mm 2.8L plus also 2x and 1.4x converters, flash guns and extension tubes. We have found,however, the 600mm lens has limitations for flight photography – funnily enough it is a little heavy!!!

Paul Desira

Paul's love of film making began in 1999 when he had an acting role in a feature film. He then turned to work behind the camera at University where he successfully completed a degree in Theatre, Film and Televison. He has written,produced and directed his first short film in 2006 and has also been freelancing for various TV companies. Currently, he is filming with a JVC 251E HDV camera with Miller tripod, fujinon lenses x 16 and x13.5 wide angle as well as Nikon 70-300mm ED photographic lens. For professional sound he uses a Seinheiser ME66 microphone. Paul is still searching for his passion for birds of the feathered kind.

Jill Wilson

Jill has always been seriously interested in all forms of wildlife and worked for the Norfolk Wildlife Trust during the 1990's. On meeting Rob in 2005 she was encouraged to learn the art of photography which gives the opportunity for the company to photograph two things at the same time. The Canon EOS 400D is giving some very good results with the 100-400mm IS lens and finds the camera easy to use. It is also not too heavy so allows for quick access and therefore some good results on flight images. (i.e. by the time Rob gets the 600mm lens out of the boot the bird has flown off).
