Chasing Feathers

A journey to document the avian world, one capture at a time.

About The Photographer

Capturing moments in flight.

My name is Timothy Blake, and I have a singular mission: to witness, document, and share the incredible diversity of bird life that shares our planet.

From the silent glide of a Snowy Owl to the vibrant plumage of a Macaw, every bird tells a story of adaptation and survival. My goal is to capture as many of these stories as possible. It is a challenge that takes me from local wetlands to distant rainforests, always with an eye to the sky.

"The goal is simple: capture as many birds as possible."

This isn't just a checklist. It's about preservation, education, and the sheer joy of discovery. Every photograph captured is a moment preserved in time, helping to build a visual archive of our natural world.

About Timothy Blake - Wildlife Photographer

Timothy Blake is a wildlife photographer with a passion for documenting the natural world through his lens. Armed with a Canon EOS R8 and a 100–500mm telephoto lens, Timothy seeks out wildlife in their natural habitats - from local nature reserves where the Red Kite soars overhead, to remote East African swamps where the Shoebill waits motionless in the reeds.

The Chasing Feathers project is both a personal archive and a public resource. From the Cheetah of the Serengeti to the Peregrine Falcon of the British uplands, the goal is to capture as many species as possible while raising awareness for threatened animals.

With every new expedition, whether into the local woodlands or across continents, my portfolio grows. My aim is to create an educational resource that goes beyond aesthetics, offering genuine insights into animal behavior, habitat conservation, and the technical challenges of capturing these fleeting moments in the wild. I hope these images inspire you to build a deeper appreciation for the natural world and the urgent need to protect it.
