Recent wildlife photographs, all taken at my local nature reserves in Somerset, UK - SWT Westhay and RSPB Ham Wall. Always worth taking a walk amongst nature even at this relatively quiet time of the year. You never know what you'll see.

Male House Sparrow. A common bird in the UK, but still an interesting and attractive little bird. A small flock of them chattering and calling while they assault the bird feeders in our garden is always entertaining to watch.

Oooh lucky you! A Great Spotted Woodpecker just landed in your feed. 😍
A striking Great Spotted Woodpecker perches on the rough bark of a pine tree, its bold black and white plumage standing out against the muted background. The bright red feathers beneath its tail add a vibrant pop of colour. Its posture exudes alertness and curiosity, perfectly capturing the essence of this iconic woodland resident.

A rather chilly looking grey heron. A great time of year to photograph birds if you can suffer the cold!
