Loki, Eurasian Otter. Wildwood Kent
Back at Wildwood again yesterday and got the photo of Loki I’ve thought about all week after not getting it on my last trip.
It was a tough day and this was all I got, but absolutely worth it. Thanks bud. 🙏

The statue of the late Ellesmere ambassador George and his old Mallard friend (didn't catch his name). Lit up by the sun, if anyone can remember that?! 😄#photography #birds #Nature #wildlife #ukwildlife #shropshirebirds #birdphotography

A wonderful night at Whixall Moss I really needed the wind to die down and the ducks not to make ripples in the pool to get my reflection shots. And was very pleased with the results. @omsystem.bsky.social @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social @shropshirewildlife.bsky.social @swnslive.bsky.social
