Welcome to the online gallery of Simon Mackie. I've set up this site to showcase the photograph's I've taken whilst out and about birding. The majority of the images on this site are of wild birds found in or around the county of Somerset , others are from adjacent counties or holiday's abroad.
In November 2003 I took charge of a Nikon D100 digital SLR and have found myself using this exclusively and upgrading the sites images from two years digiscoping. Click HERE to find out why I changed from digiscoping to digital SLR.
This site is updated regularly as and when new photo's are taken , especially the local rarities page.

This section has been in need of a major overhaul for a while , hopefully it won't take too long but should be worth the wait. I've left one old gallery in place for you to browse.
