Overview

Villager Jim, the famous Peak District photographer, takes us on a journey to his very favourite places on the moors surrounding the Peak District National Park, where he lives. From wonderful wild deer to breathtaking buzzards and other birds of prey, Jim allows us a glimpse of his daily moorland travels with all the abundant wildlife that lives in that part of the world. Jim often concedes that it is his most favourite place on earth, being out alone with his camera within this unforgiving landscape, watching the sun rise on the horizon, whilst at the same time, seeing stags wander, grazing on the moorland. It is here also that many of his favourite birds of prey abound. And, of course, he is there to capture the beautiful landscape shots rolling in mists or washed in the golden light of dawn. AUTHOR: Over the past few years, Villager Jim has been photographing wildlife in his garden as well as in the beautiful countryside that surrounds his home in the Derbyshire Peak District. Amongst his subjects are pictures of his own Labrador dogs, as well as farmyard animals, and the flora, fauna and spectacular landscapes around him. Having built up a huge international presence on Facebook, Villager Jim s thousands of followers enjoy his out of the ordinary compositions and the humorous angle of his captions. 120 colour photographs
