About the Naturalist's shack

Welcome to the Naturalist's shack. This website exists to showcase my passion for wildlife photography, and to share information about wildlife photography, Hayfield and the Peak District, and other locations that interest me.

I have been interested in wildlife since an early age. A fascination with dinosaurs led into an interest in reptiles, and over the years I have also been interested in wild cats, flowering plants, mosses and liverworts and hoverflies.

Locations and habitats that I have visited include the Peak District, Scotland, Latin America (particularly tropical rain forest) and a few Pacific islands.

Hayfield parish

Hayfield is a village nestling on the western edge of the Peak District National Park, with much of the parish lying within the Park. Hayfield parish thus includes some habitats considered internationally important, primarily the blanket bog on Kinder plateau. There are a number of Hamlets in the parish, Little Hayfield and Rowarth falling within the National Park, whilst Birch Vale and Hayfield Village itself fall outwith the park boundary.

Maui

Maui is one of the Hawaiian islands, and is formed of two inactive volcanoes. It is also called the "Valley Island", because of the flat land between the volcanoes.
