Steven Round Bird Photography

From my early teens I have had an interest in birds and photography. I remember going on holiday to Scotland with my parents and visiting the RSPB Osprey centre at Loch Garten. I was so amazed that these same birds came back here every year to breed, having spent the winter in Africa. It was a memory that has had a lasting affect on me and is also why Scotland is one of my favourite places to see and photograph birds.

I was studying photography at school and although I did attempt to photograph birds, the results weren't so good. In those days most of the equipment wasn't really up to the job. It would be many years later when digital cameras were introduced that I bought a Canon 10D and a Sigma 50-500mm lens. My hobby soon became an obsession and I slowly turned it into a business.   

​

I am now a full time wildlife photographer based in North West England. I concentrate mainly on bird photography and use Canon camera  equipment.

My images have been used on television, including the BBC programmes: Springwatch, Autumnwatch and Countryfile.

I recently appeared on the BBC North West programme Urban Jungle. In which I taught presenter Rani Price how to take photographs of urban wildlife.

I have had hundreds of photographs published in books, calendars, advertising, educational literature and magazines

(including many front covers) to name but a few.

My work is also for sale on the RSPB picture library website - rspb-images.com where I have over 2400 images.
