Avid birdwatcher. I love nothing more than spending time in nature, listening to birds and watching their behaviour.

A majestic heron braving the chill, its feathers ruffled against the winter breeze. A moment of calm and beauty. 🪶❄️

Greylag Geese and Goslings #photography #nature #birds #UK
Swimming is single file a greylag goose for 4 goslings and a second adult goose bringing up the rear. Gentle early summer light gives blue lake water and and nice feather detail on the birds. A gentle breeze ruffles the water turning the reflections of the birds into stripes

From my archives, not shared before: A gorgeous Barn Owl from Jan 2024. I watched this beauty hunting around our local fields; flying low he suddenly flew up in to an old oak tree just as light was fading! A great memory! 🤍 🪶 📷

A photograph of a Barn Owl perched on an oak tree branch. The owl is slightly facing towards the camera showing off its white underparts and pink feet. Its head is in side profile, looking out to the right in to the distance; beautiful mottled feathers show on one visible wing in shades of grey and chestnut brown and speckled feathers run down the back of its head. The background is blurred in shades of green from the fields and foliage behind.

Nuthatch perched in a low crouch on a post, its sharp beak and the black streak across its head through its eye perfectly aligned with its body and tail.

3 days to go until the #BigGardenBirdwatch!

Last year’s 3rd most-spotted bird was the shimmering Starling. 😍

Will you spot one this weekend?

There's still time to sign up: https://buff.ly/4gXUE3y
A Starling, wings poised and feet stretched forward, is perfectly captured in mid-flight as it swoops towards a wooden perch. Its iridescent plumage glimmers with hints of green and purple, speckled with tiny white dots. The intensity of its focus and the blur of motion in its wings give this bird an air of determination, as if it’s on a very important mission.

My camera isn't working properly after I fell over and dropped it in the snow! 🙄 So, here's my recent drawing called 'Eyes on the prize' capturing the moment just before a lovely vixen pounced on her prey! 🧡 Happy new week everyone! 🕊️

A coloured pencil drawing portrait of a Red Fox. Her head and shoulder lean in from the right as she has her eyes fixed on her prey in the distance... the background is mottled of shades of green and cream by using pan pastels and a sponge on pastel mat paper. #fox #foxes

Downy woodpecker climbing up a tree. They’re the smallest species of woodpecker in North America and feed primarily on insects.

The Crested Caracara has to be one of my favourites birds of prey so far in Costa Rica.

I managed to get myself down low to create a nice diffused foreground and background allowing me to concentrate the bird as the focal point.

Today I present to you the always adorable Tufted Titmouse! #birds #birding #titmouse
This photo is totally grayish-white, including the titmouse which is perched on a thin branch, looking to the left. The background is blurred out. His underparts are white, his flanks have an orange streak, his head, wings and tail are gray, and his beak and large eye are black. I say "he", however, I'm not sure of the gender.

When all around you seems dark, there is always a glimmer of light… and it’s often cute and fluffy! 😍

Many thanks to all you new followers out there, this one’s for you ☺️

A rather exciting encounter today - the first Water Rail I have ever seen in #EppingForest. Not rare, but extremely secretive and not often seen. Light was poor and they look better out of the water, but I'll take it!

Seen this little one a few times in the park. It usually comes by and pick up a little treat.

A small bird sitting on a moss covered rock with a blurred background. The bird is in the typical nuthatch pose - hunkered down, beak up in the air. Light-blue feathered back and yellow tummy.
