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!

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!

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!

How fascinating that Turtle shells are more complex than meets the eye! 🐢

I best start taking notes to become a Turtle nerd, ready for next year's trip!
