Hello to all @Bsky world. I'm a wildlife photographer based in Suffolk in the United Kingdom. Just unpacked my bags here but so looking forward to sharing a journey together.

It's never easy photographing the eiders along the shoreline. You have to time the tides just right and simply hunker down....

.....and the wind relentlessly, swept along the shoreline whipping up the sand. Nature carries on regardless along the North Norfolk coast.

I find the most compelling time of day along the meadow is that quiet hour before sunrise, especially in winter. I’ve always found these moments lend themselves to quieter, more revealing images which rely on tone and mood, as opposed to sharp, intense, contrasting colours.

What a difference 15 minutes can make regarding the variation of light as it falls along the reservoir at Alton Water. From peach soft hues, to intense copper tones framing this Great Crested Grebe at sunrise.

The fur of a young pup isn’t waterproof, & the ocean is an unforgiving place if you’re wearing a waterlogged bathrobe. So it stays ashore, close to mother, snoozing, stretching & flopping around awkwardly.

For the first few weeks, a seal pup’s whole world is mum. She nurses it with incredibly rich milk which is around 60% fat, & the pup will balloon in weight, sometimes gaining two kilos a day.

For the first few weeks, the pup’s whole world is mum. She nurses it with incredibly rich milk—about 60% fat, like the world’s most supercharged smoothie—which helps the baby balloon in weight, sometimes gaining two kilos a day. The pup doesn’t swim yet; that snowy fur isn’t waterproof, and the ocean is an unforgiving place if you’re basically wearing a waterlogged bathrobe. So it stays ashore, usually close to its mother, snoozing, stretching, flopping around awkwardly, and yelling its distinctive bleating call whenever she wanders off.

It's a busy time of year during the pupping season along the #Norfolk coast. This pup is around 4 weeks shedding its white fur to reveal a sleeker, silvery pelt designed for life in the water.

Differing perspectives at Arger Fen wood, #Suffolk. It's a great location to explore, especially at this time of year with the onset of winter. I just love all the differing textures and muted colours that wash through the frame.
