I am a retired foreign languages teacher living in Sidcup with my wife, also a former teacher. I took up serious photography in 2007. After two decades of being a bird watcher and about to retire from the classroom, I thought it would be useful to have something to take home with me after my bird watching forays. This has led to photographing many birds and animals around the world. For the past year I have been giving talks on my photography to various organisations such as the U3A, Active Retirement Associations, Probus and the WI, for whom I am an approved speaker. More details about my talks can be found on the "Photographic Talks" page of my website at: https://richardrpwinstonphotography.com/photographic-talks
