Andrew Boycott – Culture Nature Wildlife Photography
As a lifelong wildlife and nature lover it’s no surprise that Andrew fell headfirst into birding and listing after finding one of the first rare Loggerhead Shrikes in BC history. Quickly, obsession became passion and then expertise. Andrew joined an elite group becoming a two time Crow Award winner for posting over 250 species spotted in Vancouver in a calendar year including posting the third highest eBird confirmed year list in Vancouver history with 267 species. Now Andrew has moved to Vancouver island and is enjoying the tremendous diversity of species and habitats the island has to offer, uncovering all the hidden gems. These special locations are filled with the beautiful species unique to the Pacific Coast.
