From childhood he has had an interest in birds and the study of them. Paul is passionate about the outdoors and the beauty found in nature, with birds being his main focus. The quality and range of pictures found in his books are testament to the long hours spent in the field, and his patience in getting the perfect picture. In obtaining material for his books Paul’s travels have taken him all over New Zealand including its subantarctic islands. His eight books are a celebration of all those journeys and amazing avian encounters.
