My second home growing up, Picos de Europa #landscapephotography #naturephotography
A rugged mountain range with jagged, rocky peaks, partially covered in patches of snow, rises sharply against a vivid blue sky with light, wispy clouds. The textured surface of the rocks is a mix of gray, brown, and white hues, highlighting the steep cliffs and dramatic ridges.

These adoptive parakeets bring bright colours and sound, lots of sound to our skies. They are adapted to the foothills of the Himalayas so the European winter is easy peasy for them. #birds #naturephotography #ukbirding #wildlifephotography #ukbirding
A Rose-ringed Parakeet, is perched near the entrance of a tree cavity. The bird's bright green feathers contrast with the textured, dark brown bark of the tree. Sunlight highlights the parrot's vibrant plumage and red beak. Blurred branches with yellowish lichen frame the image, creating a natural foreground. The parrot's long tail feathers extend downward, partially obscured by the branches.

Who doesn't miss the warm summer days and the sound of the cuckoo 🪶? #UKbirding #birds #naturephotography #wildlifephotography
This image shows a cuckoo perched on a lichen-covered branch against a lush green blurred background, in a forested environment. The bird is facing to the right, showcasing its distinct grey head, barred underparts, and pointed tail with white markings.

I took my camera for a walk around #Cambridge. #photography #streetphotography #autumn
A serene autumn scene with a wooden bench placed along a gravel path surrounded by golden fallen leaves. The path is lined with tall trees, and a building with large windows is partially visible in the background. The soft sunlight enhances the warm hues of the season.

A Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) walking gracefully on a muddy tidal flat, its delicate white feathers ruffled slightly by the wind. The bird's slender black legs and bright yellow feet stand out against the brown, textured ground, with soft, blurred reflections of light in the background

Black-headed gull in early spring taken in Richmond Park, one of my favourite places in the world until I get too frustrated seeing dogs chasing deer. #RichmondPark is their home and home to a great deal of wildlife, let's respect that. #Birds #photography #wildlifephotography #ukbirding #birds
Close-up side view of a black-headed gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) in flight, with its wings extended and a blurred brownish background. The gull displays its characteristic dark chocolate-brown head (appearing almost black) and a red beak, typical of its breeding plumage. The bird's white body and grey wings are clearly visible in sharp detail.

Remember those summer days? I really miss the barn swallows 🪶 #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #UKBirding #Birds #photography
The image depicts two barn swallows (Hirundo rustica) perched on a wire. The bird on the left is an adult with a vibrant reddish-brown throat and glossy blue-black upperparts, while the bird on the right is a juvenile with a paler, less defined throat and a fluffier appearance. The background is softly blurred in warm yellow tones, giving a serene and summery atmosphere.

Barn Owl 🪶 on the hunt. #wildlifephotography #UKbirding #photography #photography #naturephotography
A monochrome photograph of a barn owl (Tyto alba) in flight, its wings fully extended and illuminated by light from behind, creating a striking contrast. The background features blurred reeds and a silhouetted structure near water, adding depth and a serene atmosphere to the composition.

Female Mandarin Duck floating in liquid gold. #naturephotography #UKBirding #wildlifephotography #Birds #photography
A close-up photograph of a female Mandarin duck floating on calm water with a soft golden-brown background. The duck has a dark grayish-brown head, a white eye-ring extending to a stripe behind the eye, and a pale pinkish bill. The detailed plumage shows fine patterns of light and dark brown feathers on its body, reflecting gently on the water's surface.

One from the homeland, before it was overrun with tourists looking for dragons. It's a more magical place in real life. #landscapephotography #euskalherria #bizkaia #photography #basquecountry #dragonstone
Cliffs and rocky coastline with lush green vegetation overlooking the sea, with waves gently breaking against the rocks. In the background, buildings are visible along a distant shoreline, surrounded by rolling green hills.

Remember that footage of gamekeepers killing a Hen Harrier on a grouse moor?

Seen pictures of moors being set alight in recent weeks?

It’s time to ban driven grouse shooting.

I would binge watch Short-eared Owls 🪶 flying any day of the week. They're also the most audacious coming out during the day and not too put off by us bald monkeys. #wildlifephotography #UKBirding #birds #photography #owls #bidwatching
A short-eared owl captured mid-flight, wings fully spread, as it approaches a wooden post in an open field. The background is blurred, highlighting the bird's striking brown and cream plumage, with distinctive black markings on its wings. The overcast sky and distant structures provide a muted backdrop, focusing attention on the owl's graceful landing.

Northern Gannets 🪶 having a friendly debate, easily showing more intelligence than our MPs 🤭. #UKBirding #wildlifephotography #birds #photography #naturephotography
Northern Gannets perched on a rocky ledge. The central bird vocalising or engaged in a territorial or mating display, with its wings partially extended. Two other gannets on the right are facing the central bird with their beaks open, suggesting interaction or possible dispute. The background is out of focus, with sunlight creating a shimmering bokeh effect on the water. The birds' white plumage and golden-yellow heads are strikingly illuminated by the light.

Tufted Duck preening his feathers 🪶 #birds #naturephotography #UKbirding #wildlifephotography #photography #RichmondPark
A tufted duck (Aythya fuligula) floats on calm water, preening its feathers. The bird's distinct black head with a slight crest, striking yellow eye, and white body stand out against the soft blue hues of the water, creating a serene and minimalist composition.

A bird's eye view of Richmond Park. #photography #dronephotography #landscapepotography
A solitary tree with orange leaves stands in the middle of a misty, open field. A narrow path winds through the frosty grass, leading into the distance. The surrounding landscape is bordered by trees in the background, partially obscured by a soft layer of fog. The overcast sky adds to the serene and moody atmosphere.
