Hello! My name is Sam, and I'm a nature enthusiast from England, UK! 🇬🇧

🌳 I have a keen interest in the natural world and how nature adapts to thrive on this planet.

🐢 I am passionate in Conservation, which in 2026, I will be heading to Costa Rica! 🇨🇷
A Kingfisher with a small fish in its beak! 😍🐦

I still can't believe how close I got to this thing today! I don't think this'll happen again for a very long time.

I can't remember last time I was speechless like this...

The UK's rarest species of Lizard literally comes up to me, asks for some water & literally hides under my shadow before it gains energy to runoff again.

What a fateful encounter to remember 🥰🦎

Going on towards 34 and there's nothing better than a Caterpillar Cake, or on this cake, a Hedgehog Cake 😊🎂 Brownsea Island awaits us!

Orange-Tip Butterfly 🍊🦋 these are of my favourite butterflies! But an absolute wotsit to get on camera! These guys can fly for hours on end!

OTD 2 years ago in OK, I chased the most incredible storm of my life. I documented 8 tornadoes, including two sets of twins and the widest tornado I've seen (1.3 miles). The structure and lightning was unlike anything I had seen. It was a true behemoth of the plains. Real time clip:

I love how a Spoonbill has to do a side swing of its head to use its bill as a spoon to shivel up small invertebrates and fish!

Good grief...
Someone I know shared this shitty WEF employer survey of emerging skills on LinkedIn. Please share my scream of frustration that “reading, writing and mathematics” are on their way out while “AI and big data” skills are on their way up.

House sitting two house rabbits that think they're not rabbits for the next few days. Chaos may erupt in the household 🐇 #house #rabbit #pet #happy #animals

When I think of the arrival of Spring, I think of the Cherry Blossoms blooming in the sunlight! 🌸

Earlier, I went on a walk, and this very friendly Robin decided to pay a visit by perching on this tree branch literally at arm's length away! 😍🐦

I can't wait for better weather, so I can go searching for more bugs like these chunky stags!
