Spa Valley Railway At the start of the year, I set myself several photography-based resolutions for 2026. One of those was to visit the Spa Valley Railway to see Caledonian Railways № 828 in action.

Huxley’s Bird of Prey Centre Every time we’ve driven into the nearby town of Horsham, we’ve noted the little tourism sign highlighting a bird of prey centre. We usually saw it when we were doing something, or on the way home from doing something, so never stopped in. Recently, however, my kid has been learning about owls in school, so it seemed like the ideal reason to finally pay it a visit.

I took a trip to a bird of prey centre. Featuring some fantastic birds, a field test of a new lens, and some of the best wildlife photography I’ve ever done.
