With winter nearing, I’m revisiting one of my favorite moments from last year. It’s not the sharpest shot, but watching this kingfisher’s breathtaking agility as it weaved through snow-covered branches was pure magic. Nature never fails to amaze!

It's the Autumn Equinox - the first astronomical day of autumn! 🍂

Crisp air on your cheeks...
The smell of damp earth.
Dew sparkling in cobwebs.
Cold hands wrapped around a hot drink.
A Robin singing as golden leaves crunch underfoot...

Privileged to share a beautiful moment on whixall moss watching this Adder emerge to bask in some spring sunshine after a long hibernation 🐍

Aerobatics from this kestrel as it chased off its challenger!

Wildlife photography? On hold. Christmas prep? Hijacked by two Sprockers who think they’re Santa’s star helpers! 🎄🐶😂

Came out of my hidey-hole briefly to go through feed add requests... over 500 in the past 72 hrs 🤯 The #birds feed in particular captured a high of 4,000+ posts yesterday and is getting upwards of 100,000+ views/day per @blueskyfeedcreator.com's data! Ya'll, like, REALLY like birds 😂 my offering:

Had the perfect buzzard shot lined up today, but as so often happens, it flew off as I clicked leaving me with a close up of its backside 👀

Luckily this Woodpecker appeared a few branches up to save the day 😅

Popped to the local nature reserve on my break and didn’t see a thing. Then, just as I was about to drive off, a buzzard landed right in front of me! 😂 Thankfully, my camera was on the seat next to me and not buried in the boot. Always keep your camera close! 😅

A magical moment watching this baby Rhino back in August 🦏

Over the next few days, I’ll share more clips of the incredible sightings we had including a baby elephant and two lion cubs 🥹

Repost and spread the joy! 😃

Two shots from this morning. Treecreeper and Great White Egret 🙂

Whenever I spot a Treecreeper the light is often poor. I find lowering the background saturation in post helps, though I’m never fully satisfied 😂 anybody have any tips? 😅

Excited to share my first contribution to the #herps feed—a stunning Adder I photographed back in April. Stray grass or twigs often disrupt a shot, especially with limited time before the snake returns to cover. Here though, I think they enhance the composition. What do you think? 🐍 🙂

A flash of gold on a chilly morning – two little Goldcrest’s stole the spotlight on this mornings walk. This one fortunately stayed still just long enough for me to take a photo 😅

No more squirreling around in the chaos — Blue Sky is the tree we’ve been looking for!
