Caribbean flamingo gathering on their little island. No close ups today as avian flu is still rife, so to protect these beautiful birds, no walk throughs. Their colour is absolutely stunning. @chesterzoo.bsky.social

Vibrant deep pink flamingos sit on an island surrounded by water. All preening themselves with some small shrubbery. You can see some reflected in the water.

The postman butterfly but with sparkle. I've not seen one who looked glittery before but feel very privileged to have. Every time I come to @chesterzoo.bsky.social I'm amazed.

A postman butterfly, coloured predominantly black, with red ribbons of colour and some flecks of white. With what looks like glitter on its wings. It's curled tongue. Resting on a vibrant green leaf.

A little shot of an absolutely stunning Prunus Domestica. Sometimes it's the most simple flowers that look absolutely stunning. #flowers #photography #photo #naturephotography #countrypark #prunusdomestica

Playing with different looks for my pictures. Lovely afternoon down at #ReddishVale with a friend and one of the twins. Wasn't quite as warm as we had hoped so we cut it short. #photography #nature #reddish #naturetrail

Ever seen a sleeping giant #africanbullfrog well now you have! I think it's adorable, my eldest disagrees. Why does it look so happy sleeping haha 😆 #photography #nature #africa #savannah #chesterzoo #googlepixel

The hidden Savannah in the Heart of Africa are many interesting and amazing little creatures. Some VERY good at hiding. Took me a hot minute to find this cutie - the Acacia Rat having a little doze on a slim branch at the back of its enclosure. #africa #chesterzoo #photography #nature #acaciarat

Another trip to @chesterzoo.bsky.social for the members exclusive opening for Heart of Africa exhibit. However, we all know I cannot go without popping into the butterfly enclosure! #butterfly #closeup #nature #photography #naturephotography #googlepixel

This little cutie came down for their weekly toilet visit. Never seen them down from the top trees before so snapped some pictures before they went to hide in their little cabin. #sloth #sloths #nature #photography #naturephotography

I was infatuated with this butterfly in the Butterfly house at Chester Zoo.
I've never seen such a stunning butterfly. There probably is some but this is stunning. I think it's a blue morpho butterfly but can't be sure. #butterfly #photography #nature

There is something mystical about the Tuatara... I've never seen something with such beautiful eyes! I got some absolutely stunning captures today.

One of my little ones is levelling up! When they say they grow up fast, it is no lie!

Calandra @iamironflan.bsky.social · Jan 28

It's so good. I reckon you would actually enjoy it too. Maybe you can join me and Nick one night, you would pick it up so easy! There are achievements but I don't really do it for that. I do it for the giggles 😂

I've never actually played OW. But people have compared Rivals to it, so maybe I'd enjoy it 🤔

Making people smile is on my to do list! Today I made one of my besties smile when I bought her a surprise bunch of tulips, a bit battered by life, just like us but she loved them all the same!

A bunch of flowers - tulips with pink heads against a blurred background of some buildings in an Antiques village.

No gaming for this little soul tonight. I'm bed & book to escape to another world for a short while, until I succumb to the sandman! Reading Fourth Wing still at the minute

Calandra @iamironflan.bsky.social · Jan 24

Thought I should post this here as well as my other socials because I'm pretty proud of this. Think I'll hit some @marvel-rivals.bsky.social tonight with my gaming gang. May even stream me dying multiple times too 😂
