About me and this website...

From a very young age I was always fascinated by wildlife!! Birds especially were an integral part of my life. I had to wait for my camera till I was 22 yrs old and there after I have tried to capture their beauty and show to the world about their importance in the natural world. My only aim of doing wildlife photography is to promote the goodness of CONSERVATION in whatever small way that is possible. This webpage would not have been possible without the help of Suresh V and my heart felt thanks to him. I have to thank my wife and family for their co-operation in allowing me to dissapear in wild places very often and to enjoy what I like doing most. I hope that you enjoyed watching the photographs of God’s creations in their natural beauty as I did.

Thanks for visiting,
Clement Francis M.
