Hello, I’m Robert Stephenson, I live in Coventry, which is 10 miles from the center of England (see map). I was a professional fishmonger by trade for most of my life but retired on 10 may 2008,i am now a groundsman on an estate near Coventry , I also offer a local grave tending service, and do free-lance poultry and livestock photographer .

 I have  kept a variety of animals and birds for a hobby over many years , but after an accident  in August 2003 , I now keep only a few finches and canaries , two pairs of doves ,  Dutch  banties  and a dog.

My main interest nowadays is  tending my wildlife and dahlia gardens during the summer, and  photography of poultry and livestock for Fancy fowl and Smallholder magazines at shows around the U.K.

I have left all my old interest pages on the web in the hope that the following pages are of interest and help to you, I have collected the information from personal experience over the last 30 years of animal keeping and practical experience. I no longer show on a regular basis, only once a year now at our local agricultural show.

My main purpose with this site is to share with you some of my observations of animal husbandry, some of you will share completely different views and I would be glad to hear them. 

I have kept over the years many types of animals and birds, including Rex show rabbits, with which I won many top awards in the seventies, hunting ferrets, various types of poultry including Sussex, Marans, Croadlangshan, Leghorns, Welsummers and Auracans, my favourites were large Brahma’s, but they were just too big for my set up,  and saras comet goldfish ,but  time moves on and I no longer keep any of the above, but I can offer you any help and information you might need.
