Westhay → Greylake → Chard Reservoir
12 hours out from sunrise to sunset, it was mostly quiet, but still managed a few gems.

Spotted these in the garden!
Ashy mining bees 🐝 are one of the first bees to emerge in spring, making them important early-season pollinators.

Tonight’s 26.09% moon, captured in all its detail! This is a composite of three stacked images, each taken at different exposure levels to bring out the lunar surface’s contrast and depth. I also added a starry background for that extra touch.

Quick test shot ahead of tomorrow’s solar eclipse! The eclipse starts at 10 AM and lasts about two hours, with the maximum coverage at around 11AM where the moon will cover 30-40% of the sun. Just hoping the clouds stay away! #sun #sunspot #eclipse #solareclipse2025 #solareclipse #solar

A great weekend at Chard Reservoir, enjoying the warmer weather! Plenty of bird activity, including a pair of swans that weren’t afraid to get up close to the camera. Feels like spring is finally here! 🦢🌿☀️ #Birdwatching #wildlifephotography #ChardReservoir #GreatCrestedGrebe #spring #chard #somerset

Spent the evening at RSPB Ham Wall watching the starlings put on their mesmerising murmuration display. Most were a little too far away, but I did get a few waves flying close enough for some decent shots!
