Their piercing amber eyes are quite something, a predatory, unyielding stare from a Red Kite that I don’t think any mouse nearby would want to encounter. To be honest, I felt quite intimidated myself. 😆

Snapped this fantastic Scottish wildcat in action at the British Wildlife Centre yesterday. They're doing some brilliant conservation work there to protect these incredible cats, definitely worth a visit if you've never been.

Chesterton Mill late in the evening last week, the first time I've seen it in person. It's stood on this Warwickshire hill since about 1632, commissioned by Sir Edward Peyto.

Thanks very much, yeah it’s so quick, as far as I was concerned I pressed the shutter the moment it left its perch thinking that I hit a diving shot, ended up with me snapping the return 😂 which I can’t complain about too much

Silence to splash 🐦 After a perfect dive, this kingfisher broke the stillness of the water’s surface, rising with its catch and its usual flash of blue. R5 500mm EF IS 5.6 1/4000 and ISO 6400

This Razorbill was perched on the cliffs of Skomer, its patterned bill is quite pronounced almost like someone has painted it on. R5 RF 100-500 at 500m f7.1 1/1250 ISO 400
