If you see this Kingfisher photo, please leave a comment! 🙏♥️
Have you ever seen a Kingfisher? 🐦
I think more people have not seen them than those who have! 😊

I've been sharing my bird photos across the internet for almost 20 years.. what I'd love to know is if I've directly inspired any of you to appreciate birds more?
Maybe you bought a camera or started feeding the birds?
Please let me know!🐦🥰🐦

Are you a fan of Starlings?
They don't get the amount of love they deserve, in my opinion! 😍🐦😊

I'm thrilled, I saw my first ever Ring Ouzel late this afternoon! 😀😍
It's amazing that this beauty turned up at RSPB Ham Wall in Somerset, as they usually only stop off on migration on high ground, such as The Mendip Hills.🐦
It put on a great show as it feasted on berries! 😍
