A Clonmel resident, Philip Greaves is one of the 10 finalists for the Eye on Nature RTÉ’s wildlife photography competition. His photograph features a Red Mason Bee – also resident in Clonmel! The winning Eye on Nature photo will be revealed on RTÉ One’s Nationwide on Friday 23rd June at 7pm.
Philip has been taking wildlife pictures for over 45 years. He is originally from the UK and served in the Royal Air Force. His interest in photographing Solitary Bees came about during lockdown, he said he was in his garden one day and something small flew past him and he became fascinated which led him to macro photography and setting up bee hotels, of which he now has several bee hotels around his garden.
