Lots of Lizards out at Slievenacloy Nature Reserve this morning, despite the misty start.
This one had a Tick behind its right fore-leg that I only noticed when processing the images.

A non-Perseid meteor passing below Cassiopeia last night.
There were a few nice bright Perseids but somehow the camera always seemed to be pointing in the opposite direction 🤷‍♂️

An unexpected visitor to the reserve at WWT Castle Espie Wetland Centre this morning; a young Long-Eared Owl hunting baby rabbits.

From what I saw, the rabbits were in no danger 😏
