Martin Bailey commented on Will Nicholls's group Red Squirrels.:: Follow me on Twitter .::. Photography Portfolio ::.
My name is Will Nicholls and I am a 16 year old wildlife photographer from Haydon Bridge in Northumberland.
I won the title of "Young British Wildlife Photographer of the Year" in 2009 and gained a Highly Commended in the same competition in 2010. When I was 14, I was listed as the only under 18 in Photography Monthly magazine's UK Top 50 photographers.
I aspire to be a naturalist and would love to broadcast and present documentaries all over the world. In 2009, I travelled to Ethiopia to renovate a school for a small mountainous community and trek through the Bale Mountains. On this trip I managed to spot a Prince Ruspolis Turaco, one of the fifty rarest birds in the world and a sight I shall never forget. In the summer of 2012 I will be thrown into the Borneo jungle for a month and will be doing conservation work in the jungle.
From two days ago I have been staking out buzzards for 5 hours per day. It has taken many weeks to find a location, but after a few failed attempts I have found an area full to the brim with wildlife. The first day that I put out my hide tent and waited I saw three stoats running off together, an unusual sight for this time of year. I have now hidden my hide further in the trees, away from the vigilant buzzards in the hope that they will come to feed on some…
