John Thurlbourn

John Thurlbourn has been passionate about animals and natural history since a very young age. He first took an interest in photography about 30 years ago. After working as a postman and later as a manager in a hardware shop, he worked at the Royal Veterinary College, North Mymms, Hertfordshire, caring for the animals there, a task which he found especially enjoyable. Moving into one of the cottages of the College sparked his wish to make the back garden ‘wildlife friendly’ and to record all the animals visiting it, using both still and video photography. This book, the fruits of his endeavours over a five-year period, is his first.
