The exhibition, which opens on Saturday, June 27 and runs until September 19, has subject matter extending from house sparrows at a National Trust teashop to migrant Dotterel on a Welsh mountain-top. The museum is open Monday to Saturday from 10am to 4pm.
Each image is in panoramic format, framed in sets of three, in which birds and their surroundings are integral. Within each frame, the images can be linked by species, location and, sometimes, purely aesthetic considerations.
"Many years spent photographing the landscape have, I believe, given me the vision to incorporate a bird's surroundings into an image in a way that most bird photographers miss," said Jeremy.
"I have been interested in birds for as long as I had been interested in photography. Before I became a professional photographer, I had worked for bird and wildlife conservation organisations, such as the RSPB and Nature Conservancy Council. For many years I described myself as a landscape photographer and, until a few years ago, my two interests ran more or less in parallel."
The exhibition can be seen in both ground floor galleries at MOMA WALES. For each work sold Jeremy will make a donation towards the reconstruction of the hides at the RSPB's Snettisham reserve in Norfolk, which were destroyed by the storm surge in December, 2013.
During the exhibition, Jeremy will be giving the annual Halstatt lecture as part of Machynlleth Festival on Wednesday, August 26.
