Good afternoon! 😊
I spent some time with this playful grey seal pup, conveniently positioned against the glorious autumnal backdrop of Brodick Bay on the Isle of Arran.

Good morning! Just in case anyone is missing my deer posts, they have them here on the Isle of Arran as well. I saw this gorgeous red deer stag chilling out with his harem and young calf and a hind, who seemed to prefer her own company, grazing on the shore.

Doesn't everybody love a red squirrel? Here are some shots of a scurry of squirrels (yes, this is the collective noun for a group of squirrels! 🥰), taken in the grounds of Brodick Castle on the Isle of Arran. 🐿️

Further to yesterday's post, here is a closer shot of the unusual leucitic heron I came across, perched on a rock in front Lochranza Castle on the Isle of Arran.

I came across this stunning (leucistic?) grey #Heron perched on a rock in front of #Lochranza Castle on the #IsleofArran this week. It was literally stopping traffic - and I can see why! 🤩🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💕

Hear Me Roar! 🦌📢🤩

A glorious red stag making himself heard through the morning mist in #RichmondPark, London.

(To prevent disturbing the animal and to protect myself, all my deer photographs are taken from a distance of 50m with a long lens and heavily cropped in edit).

Watching this pair of young stags having a scuffle at sunrise in Richmond Park was an exhilarating start to my day.

It was great to have the company of this handsome heron as we watched the sun rise over misty Pen Ponds in #RichmondPark.

Testosterone is running high in #RichmondPark, with the big boys starting to making themselves heard now. It won't be long before the rut begins in earnest. 🦌🦌

Sun Rising Behind The Shard.
Some mornings are worth the early alarm call and this morning was definitely one of them.
Lovely to see so many other local photographers out and about capturing this special moment as well.

I love that I live in such close proximity to not one, but two Royal Parks. This morning, my 5am sprint between Sawyer's Hill and Pen Ponds in Richmond Park to catch different views of the Summer Solstice was SO worth it! @theroyalparks.bsky.social
