Four Territories
Where Alice Works
Four ecosystems, four countries, one photographer. Endless wildlife.
Scottish Highlands & English Countryside
From the ancient Caledonian pine forests of the Highlands to the rolling chalk downs of Oxfordshire, the UK offers an astonishing variety of habitats within a compact geography. Alice splits her UK time between the remote north and the rich farmland and river corridors of southern England.

View UK Gallery →The Black Forest
The Schwarzwald — the Black Forest — is one of Central Europe's most atmospheric wildlife habitats. Dense spruce and fir forests give way to open mountain meadows, glacial lakes, and rushing streams. It is a landscape that feels genuinely primeval, and the wildlife reflects that: large mammals, secretive birds of prey, and a sense that you are sharing the land with something older than human settlement.

- Red Kite
- Western Capercaillie
- Roe Deer

Best Season
Spring for stork arrivals and capercaillie displays; summer for deer and woodland birds in long evening light; winter for snow scenes and roosting raptors.
View Germany Gallery →Algarve & Alentejo
Portugal's south is where Western Europe feels most exotic. The Ria Formosa lagoon system along the Algarve coast holds tens of thousands of wintering flamingos, while the vast rolling plains of the Alentejo — cork oaks and dusty grassland as far as the eye can see — harbour species found nowhere else in northern Europe.

- Iberian Lynx
- Spanish Imperial Eagle
- Black-winged Stilt

Best Season
Winter and early spring for flamingos and wintering raptors; spring for bee-eaters and breeding waders; summer for Iberian hare and reptiles.
View Portugal Gallery →Troodos Mountains & Akamas
Cyprus is a crossroads for migrating birds — perched between Europe, Africa and Asia, it sees an extraordinary variety of species during spring and autumn migration. But it also has unique resident species found nowhere else: the mouflon (Europe's last wild sheep), the Cyprus warbler, and the island's extraordinary network of salt lakes that fill with flamingos in winter.
Wildlife You Might See
- Mouflon
- Cyprus Warbler
- Greater Flamingo
- Eleonora's Falcon
- Loggerhead Turtle
- European Roller
- Griffon Vulture
- Honey Buzzard

Spring (March–May) for migration and mouflon; autumn for the return migration and Eleonora's falcons; winter for salt lake flamingos at Larnaca and Akrotiri.
