Wild In The City Story

As a young champion on the 2020VISION project, I was tasked with photographing urban wildlife. I thought I'd drawn the short straw as whilst I walked the busy city streets of London and Bristol, my colleagues were swimming with seals off of the Cornish coast or crawling through the undergrowth with wild boar in the Forest of Dean. However, my adventure sparked an unexpected love affair with the urban jungle. For 20 months I focused on the fastest animal in the world- the peregrine falcon. I aimed to demonstrate that you can have a wildlife experience in the urban jungle that is just as wild as anywhere else!
