Who is The Wildlife Nomad?

Craig Thomson, a lifelong naturalist, first picked up a camera when he was 17, heading out to Kenya on safari. Since that first trip, some 35 years ago, Craig has watched and photographed wildlife around the globe, working hard to develop a solid understanding of animal behaviour, fieldcraft, camera techniques, and editing skills.

In 2018, Craig & his wife (Su) purchased and started renovating an old farmhouse on top of a hill in Rural France where European Wildcat, Pine Martens, Red Squirrels, Badgers, Foxes, Brown Hares, and Barn Owls visit the garden and adjacent field. This Wildlife haven gives Craig the necessary space and privacy he needs to set up multiple cameras, hides, feed stations, and various indoor and outdoor “studios” for photographic purposes.

In 2022, Craig had the opportunity to take early retirement and now spends his time split between the UK & France, photographing wildlife and volunteering for UK Wild Otter Trust and the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust.
