Glyn Rutherford on why he loves Hampshire

“My love of the Hampshire countryside takes me to all corners of the county and more recently to the New Forest, where I went out on location with this beautiful owl and one of its handlers from Liberty’s Owl Centre. It was such a privilege to be so close to nature and to photograph this beautiful creature. My greatest pleasure is to take my wife Lesley, son Nathan and family dog Bailey for a walk along a Hampshire beach. We are so fortunate to live in such a great county. I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.”
