From the mighty River Trent to gravel pits, from Sherwood forest to a modern urban landscape, Nottinghamshire boasts a variety of habitats that support some truly amazing flora and fauna.

Born and bred in Nottingham, Jack is primarily a freelance underwater and wildlife cameraman with a deep passion for the natural world. He is particularly interested in the perhaps "less-liked" species such as reptiles, amphibians and fish but does occasionally pay attention to furry and feathery things! He has worked on many TV programmes, including David Attenborough's Wild Isles.
