Finally nice to see a variety of butterflies along the hedgerows along the Ridgeway yesterday. It's still disturbing the lack of the numbers of them (and in particular the lack bees and other pollinators) in general. (1) Small heath (2) Ringlet (3) Large white (4) Gatekeeper. #wildlifephotography
I'm rather chuffed getting these images of this Great Crested Grebe out on the lake this morning between dives. Nikon D500 #birds #bird #greatcrestedgrebe #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephotography
Met these little white floof balls on the K & A canal this morning. The proud parents brought them out for a brief 📸 session. 🦢🦢 #birds #wildlifephotography #cygnets #naturephotography #wildlife #swans
Lovely to see and photograph bucketloads of these furry little dudes and dudettes all over Greenham Common yesterday at 6am. Hard to tell but (images 2 & 3) are only about 15cm (6"'s in old money) possibly their first day out. 😍🥰 #wildlifePhotography #rabbits #bbowt #greenhamcommon #wildlifeimages
A few images of the Skylarks up on The Ridgeway (near Streatley) yesterday belting out their beautiful melodies. 🎶🎶 #birds #bird #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #skylarks
Managed to capture this young Muntjac deer in the sunshine this morning as I rounded a hedgerow. #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #muntjac #deer #wildlifeimages #wildlife #nature
Just a few of the Canada goslings from recent treks along wither the Thames pathway or the local stretch of the K / A Canal. 🐥 #birds #bird #goslings #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #wildlife
Had this Hare bounding towards me along The Ridgeway earlier this week, then sat down and thought better of it and scarpered sharpish 😁 #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #hare #marchhare #wildlifeimages #wildlife #nature
A couple of images of some Shoveler ducks (male) on Hosehill Lake on Sunday morning. 🦆 #birds #bbowt #birdphotography #wildlifeimages #wildlifephotography
On one of my regular walks today and I managed to get this first sighting and photograph this Barn Owl only took me about 10 years to see one here. #birds #barnowl #birdphotography #wildlifeimages #wildlifephotography
I was up on the Ridgeway today. First dry day in ages. Plenty of Skylarks were up high and heralding the approaching Spring, they wouldn't pose. So here's a female Roe deer leaping into Spring. 🦌(taken in January and not along the Ridgeway). #wildlifephotography #roedeer #deerphotography #wildlife
Spotted this prime specimen Cormorant along the Kennet and Avon canal this morning all dressed up in its breeding plumage #birds #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #ukwildlife
Between the downpours 🌧 this week managed to capture a couple of Nuthatches in the woods using a fencepost and a pocketful of bird food ( I do this through the winter months) . #birds #birdlife #birdphotography
Plenty of Robin activity in the local woods today, here's a couple that were happy to pose. #birds #birdphotography #robinredbreast #naturephotography #nature
Probably my favourite photographs I took last Spring, walking through the woods and I stumbled into this pair of Roe deer among the bluebells with a 30 second staring competition 🦌💚🤗📸 #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #roedeer #wildlifeimages #wildlife #nature
Spotted this solitary Oystercatcher on todays wander around Hosehill Lake, before the rain arrived. #birds #birdphotography #bbowt #naturephotography #oystercatcher
Thanks, I know it is 😉 a hidden gem for sure.
As Mr. Chaffinch takes to ice-skating on the pond 😁 Mrs. Chaffinch watches on from firmer ground. Taken at the Warburg Nature Reserve this morning. #birds #birdphotography #bbowt ##naturephotography ##warburgnaturereserve
Spotted this Meadow Pipit on Greenham Common this morning. Check out those toenails 😁 #birds #bbowt #birdphotography ##naturephotography
Thanks, and thanks for the land management across the counties 💚 which provides these encounters.
Just checked them on your page, then name fits them 😁 must be continental cousins from my uk ones.
Lovely little Nuthatch obligingly posed for me recently 📸 #birds #Nuthatch #birdphotography #nature
An extremely soggy and bedraggled Red Kite screeching from its perch across the Thames (during yesterday’s rainy morning stroll). #birds #birdphotography #redkite
