Pintail, a winter duck in Britain, always look like they are made from velvet.

In a cold winter, more than two thirds of our kingfishers can die, as places freeze over. The recent cold drove this male to sit twelve feet away from me at WWT Slimbridge.

2024 saw 27,000 photos taken and 129 species encountered. But which one wins the award for my encounter of the year?

Otter family, Shetland. The kitts were almost as big as mum and proving a handful #uknature #wildlifephotography

This is a young urban fox I call 'fleck' becuase of the small black mark on the end of her muzzle. She is one of a family living in a small area of unused land near a busy main road. I suspect comeone local is feeding them because all of the family are very healthy with glossy coats

Velvet Scoter near Banbury, and a Common Scoter on a canal in Gloucestershire. What's going on? These species should both be hanging around the coasts. It's great to see them, but I'd rather they were in their natural habitat.
