I regularly post my nature (& other) photos here. When I make political posts here I plan to use #politicswilliammatthews
so you can, hopefully, mute them should you just be following me for the birds, bees and bears etc.
NB: being a bear of little brain myself I may forget the hashtag sometimes.

Finally got out to do some wildlife photography yesterday at Warnham Local Nature Reserve. On copying the photos to my PC realised that this is the first time I've been out this year! this picture is a male Reed Bunting. #birds #nature #ukwildlife #warnhamlnr #reedbunting

Apologies, life has interrupted my intention to get my wildlife photos sorted for posting, and also my actually getting out and taking more. I did grab this shot of a buzzard in Gosport today (though not with my wildlife setup). #birds #nature #ukwildlife

It is with profound regret that I must announce my resignation from the Labour Party. I have never expected to agree with every policy decision a Labour government makes but there have been too many that go against my principles. 1/2 #politicswilliammatthews

Oh dear! What I thought would be a break from posting for a couple of weeks while I sort through my archives has turned out, for various reasons, to be a good deal longer. Here's a Blue Tit on a feeder from April 2008. #birds #nature #ukwildlife

Not ready to resume daily photo posts yet but in the meantime here's a Weasel at the British Wildlife Centre in August 2014. #nature #ukwildlife #weasel #mustelid #britishwildlifecentre

After a couple of months of daily bird and nature posts (apart from Xmas) I am going to dial down the frequency for a week or two while I sort my way through my archive from the period after I stopped posting regularly on Flickr until I got a bit more organised. 1/2

Fallow Deer in Petworth Park in May 2007. Back when I was still using a bridge camera for wildlife photos. I had a DSLR but didn't get a telephoto lens for it until later that year. #nature #naturephotography #deer #fallowdeer #ukwildlife #petworthpark
