Welcome to day 14 of our #25DaysofPhotographers Advent calendar! Today, Ronald Thomas talks about how his inspirations and the importance of wildlife photography. "My interest in wildlife began when I was 5 and I became absorbed by a set of encyclopedias that my parents bought for me. The work of Eric Hosking was featured and he has been a real inspiration for me. I found that taking pictures was a great way to learn and expand my knowledge of the natural world. I now give talks to camera clubs and through this I hope to encourage others to find out more about the world we live in. This particular more natural looking picture of a crested tit on a tree stump was taken on a winter trip to Scotland near Inverness." Discover more about Ronald at: www.ronthomasphotography.com
