Red Kites settled on the Yorkshire Wolds in 1999 following their release at Harewood House near Leeds.

Red Kites are gregarious and love aerial combat. It gives them a chance to show off their acrobatic flight.

Grebe courtship: Whilst down at an exhibition at the NEC in Birmingham in February, I spotted this pair of grebes. It was a freezing winter's day, but this pair were just starting their courtship.

Brown Bear: I travelled to Finland in 2008 to photograph European Brown Bears. Bearwatching happens at night, wehnt he bears come out of the forest into clearings to forage on berries and on other food. But, as they were only just south of the Arctic circle, it was light for much of the night.

Stripy, Hoover & Dyson: In mid April I was in for a treat. The dominant sow appeared and paused to scratch. As I watched, a tiny black and white face appeared at the hole, then another one. The sow muttered low level contact calls to encourage her cubs out and a third cub appeared. I watched as she groomed their fur before she took them back down to the safety of the sett.

Curled Up: These two young cub otters were seen curled up beside each other fresh from a dip in the water. Cubs are often quite sociable unlike the adult otters, which outside of breeding times are solitary. Robert captures the uxoriously thick coat of these two young and their characteristic spiky guard hairs, which are flat and streamlined in water, are clearly visible as they dry out in the sun.

King of Savute: The title of this painting 'King of Savute' really sums up this magnificient painting of this male lion. Photographed by Robert in Botswana in 2000, this male exuded power & presence.

King Penguins on Saunders: I travelled to Antarctica in 2007 and saw the largest penguin colony at St Andrew's Bay with over 1/2 million penguins. But these two were from the smallest colony we visited - just 18 birds - on Saunders Island, Falkland Islands.

Jay in Oak Leaves: Jays are renowned for storing food in preparation for winter. Acorns are a favourite and a single jay can bury up to 5000 acorns during the course of a season.

Hare at Fotherdale: This hare was scenting the ground in the field opposite my gallery. I crouched in the gateway and waited him to come closer. As he approached he caught my scent and stood alert before bounding across the fields away from me.

Red Stag and Hinds: Red stags rut in October. During this time they fight with other males for dominance over a harem of females.
