Llech-y-Drybedd, Pembrokeshire for #TombTuesday

A neolithic burial chamber, looking a bit like a large stone mushroom, sits in a green field that is peppered with the yellow of dandelions. It faces a sunset, the sky streaked with gold, cream, and blue.

For #TombTuesday the enormous & unusual Trevethy Quoit Neolithic tomb in Cornwall

In common with several other tombs it has a small door or portal cut in the front slab & a hole piercing the towering capstone

The entrance to Wideford Hill Chambered Cairn, with its three concentric stone walls. Dating from around 3500-2400 BC, the ‘Maeshowe-type’ cairn is built into the side of Wideford Hill, near Kirkwall in Orkney. 📸 My own #TombTuesday #Prehistory #Orkney

These Arctic travellers are a rare and special sight, weaving through our saltmarshes and coastal fields during their migration.

Listen for their twittering flight calls on crisp autumn mornings.

What a fabulous day of BOTD. Thank you to all our amazing contributors. Absolutely stunning captures. Wishing you all a great rest of your day, wherever you are in the world. #BirdOfTheDay is part of the #EastCoastKin community. Leaving you with a flock of Goldfinches in the distance. #birds

A large flock of European goldfinches in flight against a pale blue sky. The birds’ bright yellow wing patches and red faces stand out vividly as they move in a scattered but coordinated formation, creating a sense of motion and harmony in the open air.

Good morning. My cohost Rob has declared that today's #BirdOfTheDay is all about 'Long Necks' and the Alternative are 'Finches' So I’ve went with a Happy Heron. 😂

“ I have a long neck mate but I’m not showing you, I’m so fed up with this rain.”😡

#birds #photography #EastCoastKin

A grey heron stands tall on a wooden fence in the rain, its feathers damp and slightly ruffled. The bird’s yellow eyes and long orange beak contrast sharply with its soft grey and white plumage. Behind it, a blurred background of lush green foliage creates a natural, serene setting.
