About Martin Goodey
Born in the Isles of Scilly in 195..
Surrounded by nature; it would have been hard not to develop a love of
wildlife.
With the
late David Hunt as a friend and mentor I soon appreciated Scilly's uniqueness
as a place to watch birds and in particular witness the spring and
autumn migration.
David was a pioneer Bird photographer and considering the
equipment he was using, many of his shots would not look out of place on a
website today. H
He sold me my
first telephoto lens and gave me much advise and encouragement.
My first foreign birding trip was to India
in in 1985, followed by two trips to
Nepal, (which remains one of my favorite destinations).
Then began a series
of repeat visits to Thailand, Malaysia and Laos.
2004 and 2005 saw visits to Southern Spain.
Latterly it has been the
continent of Africa that has drawn me back each winter.Several visits to the
tiny but bird rich country of Gambia and thanks entirely to the generosity of my
friends James and Elise Wolstencroft three wonderful trips to Tanzania.
