About Me
- Rob Ward
- Cinderford, Gloucestershire, United Kingdom
- My name is Robin Ward, I was born and I have lived in the Forest of Dean all my life. I consider myself privileged to live in such a beautiful place. Having a massive passion for all our wildlife I have created a blog as a diary, covering all wildlife. I have also created another blog, dedicated to our beautiful snakes that we have here, in the Forest of Dean. I have been monitoring and surveying areas for the adder and grass snake for many years and will do for the rest of my life. It's not a sin to love wildlife, we need it to survive! Robin Ward

Wildlife Comes First
I am not just a photographer. I have always had and always will have a massive passion for wildlife and nature. When I am photographing wildlife I always put the animal first, if I feel it will be too stressful I will move away. Only when I am satisfied that my subjects are relaxed, will I photograph them.
I work hard with our native snakes, surveying and managing certain areas for them in the winter, so they have a good habitat when they emerge from hibernation in the spring. Over the years I have learned a lot and now I never move the snakes for photography purposes. My photographs you see of the snakes are of them in their natural environment.
Some people ask me how I know so much about certain subjects, like our snakes, wild boar and deer? The answer is simple, my passion for our wildlife is overwhelming and I want to learn as much about it as possible.
My photography is just an extension of my passion, my way of showing others what I see.
I am self taught with everything I know, but it doesn't come easy and it doesn't happen over night! I will carry on learning for the rest of my life through reading, research and practice.
