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 Shropshire Bird Report for 2024 is now being delivered. As always, it’s a fascinating resource and a delight for Shropshire bird nerds.

It’s a great credit to the hard work and diligence of @pilning.bsky.social
and the team. Work on SBR 2025 is about to start!

I’m a little bit amazed that I actually pulled this off. 🥰❤️

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

Red-Legged Partridge & Pheasant at Powis Castle. Was hoping for Hawfinch, but no such luck.

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
