Simon King is a widely renowned wildlife filmmaker whose passion for the natural world is evident through his highly engaging and visually spectacular programmes. With over 30 years experience as a wildlife cameraman and presenter, Simon has developed a sound reputation as an expert in his field and has been the recipient of several prestigious awards including EMMY, BAFTA and RTS.

His move and exploration is to be documented in the programme 'Simon King’s Shetland Diaries' which will be broadcast at prime time on BBC2 in 2010.

Simon King's book Wildlife  was published in August 2009 where it proceeded to debut at number five on the Sunday Times Bestseller List for Non Fiction. His new book The Shetland Diaries to accompany the TV Series will be published in April of this year.
