Gina Merrett Smith 04/12/2008	Thank you for your wonderful presentation at the Backwell Camera Club; I thought the pictures were beautiful.
Jill Kaye 17/11/2008	I have just been looking at your website, amazing. I started off doing a search for the best time to photograph the seals at Donna Nook, saw some of your photo's and clicked on the link to your website.
Carolyn Channing 13/11/2008	Thank you for the very interesting talk & brilliant photos of birds in Lesvos, which everyone seemed to enjoy (Exeter RSPB group - ed.). Keep us informed of any new talks in the future as no doubt we would like to invite you back.
Liz Saunders 13/11/2008	Your talk to our Group was really excellent and the slides were outstanding, it was an excellent evening! (Exeter RSPB group - ed.)
Louise Moulton 23/10/2008	I enjoyed the talk that you did about the Alaskan Grizzlies, thank you.
Leslie Clifford 25/10/2008	Many, many thanks for coming to our meeting last Monday. We all really enjoyed your presentation and admired your work; envying your opportunities of travelling the world with your camera on your shoulder and your naturalists knowledge in your head. (Maybe we might find your equipment on our shoulders rather heavy and cumbersome, however!!)
C Brooks 05/10/2008	Just been to Donna Nook to check out the seal area but was unable to see any and no pictures taken. Just looked through your seal photos and was amazed by the quality...well done mate.
Mary Hill 19/01/2008	Thanks very much for an excellent talk (18/01/2008 at Bristol Naturalists Society Ornithological Group) - it was much appreciated. The turn-out was better than for the usual AGM. I will get to you next month re a second instalment.
Alan & Felicity Down 19/01/2008	Felicity and I really enjoyed your talk last night (18/01/2008 at Bristol Naturalists Society Ornithological Group) and, as all speakers should, left us wanting more!
Adrian Davey 21/12/2007	Many thanks for the bean bag. I enjoyed the Birds of Lesbos talk and photographs very much and look forward to seeing you at Launceston Camera Club in April [2008]. See Adrian's images at Adrian Davey Bird Photography
Mandy Leivers 05/12/2007	Thanks again for a fab talk last night (04/12/2007 at Bristol Zoo). Your photos really are amazing!
Priscilla Dodson 14/11/2007	On behalf of the Vale of Evesham Camera Club, may I thank you very much for your very informative presentation on Monday. Not only did we see some amazing photographs of Grizzly Bears, we also learned about their habitat and some of those pictures were amazing. Probably the closest most of us will ever get to a real live bear!
John Barton 13/11/2007	Being new to the digital age I found your talk (Vale of Evesham Camera Club - ed.) last evening extremely interesting. My own favourite subjects at present are nature and architecture. I'm lucky to have around where I live and work many species of wildlife. Your talk last evening just encouraged me to be ready, as the moment doesn't last, unless you've caught it on camera as you did so well with your presentation.
Janet Deuchar 05/11/2007	Calendars arrived safely today thank you. Love all the images but if I had to choose a favourite I think it would be scratching! Hope you have enough left for next year - or you will just have to go back and get some more - another great reminder of our Alaskan trip last year.
Dave Horlick 24/05/2007	I look forward to seeing some of the photos on your return from Canada. I am very impressed with those on your website!
Neil Marshall 02/03/2007	Hi Oliver. What a great evening. I think it is one that will be talked about for quite a while. Your images were fantastic and I think Bob summed up what we were all feeling. Once again thank you for coming to Backwell. I am away for the next week but on my return I will contact you regarding a return visit in 2008.
John Nevill LRPS 08/02/2007	Great talk at Marwell last night. I've took the liberty of acknowledging it on my weblog. See John's superb images and weblog at EOS-Images
Javier Train 01/02/2007	I'm a Spanish birder and I saw your great photos on your website. I saw that you went to Lesvos last year in the first week of April and this year I'm going to Lesvos in the same week.
Martin Smart (aka Dad!) 20/01/2007	What a fantastic selection of new images from Fuerteventura. The background colours on some of them are amazing - almost as though you've selected the background to compliment the subject. Difficult to choose a favourite but I really like the two warblers, the shrike, bustard, goat (the first one of which I think would look really impressive as a large print) and squirrel and I'm rather jealous of your Sanderling as you got much better poses than I was able to get in LaJolla! Your description of their clockwork toy like behaviour is very appropriate. I couldn't get the little buggers to stand still for a second!! Most of my shots have them with their bills stuck in the sand! See Martin's images at Martin Smart Wildlife
Mike Smith 13/01/2007	Nick and I very much enjoyed your talk yesterday (Gloucester Naturalists Society at Cirencester).
Martyn Pearce 03/12/2006	I meant to email before now to tell you how much I enjoyed your talk at the Crewkerne RSPB meeting.
Sarah Chapman 20/11/2006	Thank you for a really wonderful talk on the Grizzly Bears of Alaska. I am sure everyone enjoyed it and were amazed at all your brilliant pictures of bears. You are obviously very fond of them. Do hope you will come back again. Crewkerne - RSPB
Claire Alford 16/11/2006	My husband and I very much enjoyed your talk this evening in Crewkerne.
Ann Freeman 03/11/2006	Thank you very much for the portrait of 'Audrey' (one of the bears - ed.) and for a wonderful talk at the Bristol Naturalists Society.
David Eaves 01/11/2006	On behalf of Solihull Photographic Society, I would like to thank you again for the projected lecture you gave recently. Your images were first rate and we all admire the patience and skill needed to get such pictures of wild animals such as Grizzly Bears. You put the images together very well and your presentation was very professional. Solihull Photographic Society
Peter & Margaret Preece 25/10/2006	We would like to say we enjoyed your talk on the Grizzly Bears at Solihull Club last night and have recommended you to Bracknell Camera Club nearer to your home. See Peter & Margaret's images at peterpreece.com
Janet Deuchar 07/10/2006	Thank you, the calendars arrived safely this morning. You must be very proud of these photographs, they are everything I wish I had seen! Well done.
Soo Turnball 21/09/2006	I enjoyed your talk to Gloucester RSPB very much – great pictures, very interesting.
Rob & Keeley Henson 27/06/2006	We stumbled across your site via Google. We really enjoyed it, especially the birds. You've got some really nice shots there. Well done!
Kit Day 27/06/2006	I am a keen photographer like yourself with similar Canon gear, and I very much enjoyed your site! The images from Handa were especially inspiring, as I visited the island a couple of times when I was younger (and without any camera gear!). See Kit's superb images at kitday-uk.com
Jo Dickson 21/05/2006	Your photos are very impressive. I would love to do something similar. I have been thinking about an ornithology course myself or a photography course. I love taking wildlife photos - mind you, the digital camera could do with an upgrade.
Kris 07/05/2006	Just a quick note to say how impressed I was at your photos of the seals at Donna Nook. I dabble in poetry and have posted a poem on a forum about Donna Nook - well it involved seals and Donna Nook. Anyhow I found your site whilst searching for a link to show people. That's it really - Great Stuff, keep up the fine work. Read the poem at http://www.poetsgraves.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2914
Dave Bridges 15/02/2006	Very many thanks for such an interesting and enjoyable talk last night at Wadebridge. I'm so pleased that my fellow Camera Club friend, Adrian, told us about your presentation. All I can say, with envy, is WOW; brilliant and your website is great too!
Mike Hiscocks 19/12/2005	Well, I just came across your site and wanted to say how impressive it is. You have taken some photographs to be proud of, far better than sitting behind a desk all day!
Dave Nevitt 13/11/2005	As always, your photos are excellent Olly. Keep up the good work.
Dave Flint 12/10/2005	Just a quickie to say the pictures of the bears are up to your usual standard. My wife was amazed at the quality. I think there would have been a bit more handshake if I was that close to them.
Chris Orders 10/10/2005	Just seen your latest Grizzly Bears...Awesome!
Kate Churchouse 08/10/2005	Your photos get better and better - stunning. Looks a bit scary though, don't think I'd have liked to be anything like that close!
Stuart Glen 07/10/2005	I had a quick look at your website the other day and some of your grizzly shots are fantastic mate. I can’t wait to hear your presentation at some point!
Rachael Jefferies 07/10/2005	WOW! Great photos of the bears, I'm really jealous!
Paul Knauer 07/10/2005	Once again your photos are quite remarkable! The bear photo is unbelievable. I do hope you are not putting yourself at risk? Well no more at risk than you used to be at fly half waiting on a hospital pass from Coxy - haha.
Ian & Annie Evans 06/10/2005	Your recent photos from Alaska look absolutely fantastic. Well done.
Martyn Pearce 05/10/2005	I was very impressed at your photographs and everything else on your site.
John MacKen 04/10/2005	The pictures on your web site are truly excellent. I can't wait to see your Alaska talk.
John Ward 25/08/2005	What I particularly like are the camera settings. I have just purchased a Canon 20D and it really helps to see how other photographers take their pictures.
Bill Baston 22/08/2005	Your website has some great images on it and looks very slick. See Bill's images at billbaston.com
Christopher Teague 18/04/2005	I just wanted to say you've got a great collection of wonderful images. An inspiration for an avid amateur. See Chris's images at pixelchris.com
Helen McGregor 21/03/2005	Fantastic web site and the picture I had from you is fabulous. Also I will be ordering another one soon.
Charlie Moores 19/03/2005	Just followed a link from Bogbumper's site to yours and wanted to say "cracking website". See Charlie's images at charliesbirdblog.com
Catherine Nicol 16/03/2005	Excellent pics. I am new to this digital photography hobby and bird watching but am having a great time learning. It is great to see how/what others photograph and the image data provided is a huge help.
Bill Jesson 18/02/2005	Just had a look at your latest - I went to Norfolk in January too, and saw many of the same birds. Thanks for the images of the Redpolls and the Shore Larks in particular - brought back some nice memories.
Stuart Glen 17/02/2005	Really like the new website design. Hugely impressed with your Grey Seal shots from Donna Nook. Very envious that I didn't make it along...
Katie Fuller 04/02/2005	I really enjoyed having a browse through your site this afternoon. You have some fantastic photos. I'm also a trainee ringer and I know what you mean about measuring wings.... See Katie's images at bogbumper.blogspot.com
Douglas Wyatt 26/01/2005	Nice to have a look at your website. Good luck with your photos in 2005. See Douglas's images at wyattsnaturephotos.com
Alan Paice 30/12/2004	Very interesting site with some good photography. I have an old kitchen sink that if I can adapt it to help with your photographs, then just let me know!
Mike Ashford 27/11/2004	I have just had a look at some of your pictures, I followed the link from WebCT. I think that it's a great site, well done.
Lyndon Roberts 31/10/2004	Amazing! I like the Greenshank shots. I've never seen a Little Bunting, but have ringed all the others apart from the Cream-coloured Chicken.
Sam Bosanquet 31/08/2004	Just looked at your photos from Handa. Stunning! Especially liked the laughing Fulmars...
Kathy Lucas 05/08/2004	I had a look at your website this morning - very good. I'm impressed, not just the photos but the way it's put together.
Carl Beathe 23/06/2004	The website looks really good. There are some really good images on the site. The whale one looks interesting. I like the homepage where the images are displayed as a slide show and scroll to the next image.
Rik Paauwe 17/06/2004	Amazing pictures. Thanks.
Kate Churchouse 21/06/2004	Stunning new photos - can't hope to decide which I like best. Keep up the good work.
Chris & Shirley Gale 20/06/2004	We love the photographs on the website and will keep looking at it to improve our birding knowledge.
Chirs Orders 16/06/2004	Well now. You have certainly excelled yourself this time with your latest shots from Handa with Jim. In particular I enjoyed the photos of yourself in compromising positions!!
Verity Currie 14/01/2004	The site looks great. Could perhaps still do with a time, date and location stamp for each photo just as a reference.
Nick Martin 05/12/2003	Great new look. Nice and quick for us folk still stuck without broadband! Nice recent pictures too, really love the waders and the mushrooms. See Nick's images at martinimages.co.uk
