So just who is the Black Country Lad?
Hi, my name is Dave Hollis and I come from an area of the Midlands in the UK
called, with lots
of affection, ‘The Black Country’. The Black Country is steeped in a rich and varied history and
it has a firm place in the story of the Industrial Revolution of the 18th
and 19th centuries in Britain.
I am proud to be one of its ‘sons’. I was
born in a town called Stourbridge.
All my life I have had a passion for wildlife and the countryside, (I think
it started when I was just a nipper when a Magpie came and landed on my
pram!). My father used to take me on long country walks when
I was very young and he sparked something in me which will last as many
lifetimes as one can imagine. All through my life I have felt at my most
comfortable whilst in the countryside and just ache for every opportunity to
be there. I still get a thrill out of seeing the first Swallow of the year
or the first Brimstone Butterfly to emerge on a warm March day.
I have been a wildlife photographer and sound recordist for about 35 years
and lately I have started
to produce the ‘Black Country Lad Explores’ series of DVD’s and Blu Ray film
discs. They are an expression of my love for wildlife and the countryside
and I hope you enjoy watching them as much as
I enjoyed making them.
All the very best
Dave
