Wildlife portrait photographer from the UK.

My web site is Sharp Photography. It has a search facility. Over 4,400 full size images are stored on Flickr.
Many of my pictures are taken outside of the UK and the best ones will be in my galleries of Nuvola apps package favorite.svg favourites, Cscr-featured.svg Featured pictures (122 from 26 countries), Quality images logo.svg Quality images (1,404) and Valued image seal.svg Valued images (1,656)
Please feel free to use any of the wildlife photos that I have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, most of which are also in articles on English Wikipedia, with attribution Charles J Sharp and/or www.sharpphotography.co.uk
