robin at #wwtslimbridge! I hardly had to edit this, the sun was glowing and he posed carefree right in front of the camera! 🪶

I love how bold robins are, they truly do not fear us the way other birds do

finally, a sunny day 😮‍💨 heard a raven and saw a few long-tailed tits. also saw my hat on a bench, until I reached for my head and realised I was still wearing it and someone else has lost an identical hat!

a big round wood pigeon by the bird bath in the garden 🥰🪶

Two nēnēs at WWT Slimbridge! Native to Hawai'i, and the rarest goose in the world, at one point numbering only 30 birds due to hunting and introduced predators like mongoose, pigs, and cats. Decades of conservation efforts have helped reintroduce the nēnē and native numbers are over 3,800 today 😊🪶

can't believe I've never (knowingly) seen a garganey before, look at that plumage! seen up close in the large outdoor aviary at WWT Slimbridge 🪶

thanks for the photobomb! redshank in the way of a pied avocet at WWT Slimbridge 🪶

more old pics, a red kite flying low over my parents' house around xmas time! a true UK conservation success story, they are a keystone species as they feed mainly on carrion, which helps prevent the spread of disease. they're also beautiful to look at!! #ukbirding 🪶

more old pics cause I'm a little unwell 😔❤️🪶 cormorant on the river happily preening showed off his white underfluffies 😆

me too, here's one I got recently! 🫐

assorted duck butts 🦆🪶

Bewick's swan from a recent trip to WWT Slimbridge 🪶 this one was very sweet and half asleep when I came over for a photo 🥰#UKbirding

a tale in four parts (wood pigeon vs ivy berries) 🪶 #ukbirding

an early photo from when I only had a clip on lens on my iPhone, I started with all the pigeons and sparrows in my parents' garden! 🪶

wood pigeon 🪶 I'll keep posting old pics until all my favourites are on here 😊

employment era incoming???

most of the birds at the lake in town have left following the many storms that have hit the UK this year. luckily I got my photos of the resident heron beforehand 🪶 (hopeful they return this spring)

all this bird talk and I haven't posted any pics yet! waxwings came all the way up my neck of the woods this year and I've wanted to see them my whole life 💛 I also made a video about it!
