Description
With the disappearance of many natural habitats, awareness and sympathy for the plight of wildlife has become more increased with the garden becoming an important refuge for amazingly diverse communities of wild animals and plants. Among the familiar and less-familiar animals and plants featured are the barn owl, the field vole, the painted lady and the zebra spider, the snake's head lily and yellow monkey flowers. Stephen Dolton is the winner of a Kodak scholarship, the Hood Medal, the Nikon Award and the Royal Photographic Society's Silver Progress Medal.
