Fox with Vole - 2006 winner
BBC Wildlife Magazines Photographic Competition

This picture was taken  early one morning in May along a rough track near the coast. The fox appeared in front of our vehicle, grabbed the vole and walked into a wild wheat field. I managed to get several shots of the fox, but the one where it turned round to look at me with the vole in its mouth, was the best image I achieved. The added bonus of course was the yellow wheat field which gives a lovely backdrop to the fox.   



Welcome to my Website.

My name is Peter Preece and I am a Wildlife Photographer. I hope you enjoy slowly browsing through the images shown which I hope to add to and update on a regular basis.

Over the past 10 years both myself and my wife Margaret, have belonged to local Photographic Societies, including Smethwick, Solihull and our local club, Cookhill and Studley. We are both retired and spend a lot of time travelling around the U.K. and Europe photographing everything we find, from insects to animals.

Over the last 6 years we have visited about 300 venues where Peter has shown his illustrated talk, "A Beginners Guide to Wildlife Photography" to Natural History Societies, Photographic Societies, W.I.'s, Probus Clubs and other organisations interested in Wildlife. A lot of our photography is done from hides situated in areas where we attract in birds such as jay, buzzard, nuthatch etc. and are based in Warwickshire close to where we live. These hides are baited up every two days to set up feeding stations which have produced many successful images in national and international exhibitions for both ourselves and people who have been invited to these hides.
