Jon Dunn

Natural history writer, photographer and wildlife tour leader

Jon Dunn is a natural history writer, photographer and tour leader based in Shetland, who travels worldwide searching for memorable wildlife encounters. A childhood exploring the water meadows and abandoned orchards of the Somerset Levels, and the droves and ancient woods of Dorset’s Blackmore Vale spurred a lifelong passion for all things natural history based. Once stalked by a Mountain Lion in Mexico’s Sierra Madre Occidental, he generally prefers experiencing wildlife on his own terms and not as part of the food chain! He is author of Orchid Summer, Britain’s Sea Mammals, Britain’s Mammals and The Glitter in the Green: In Search of Hummingbirds.
