It’s Red Squirrel Appreciation Day
Here’s one from the Dingle Nature Reserve, in Llangefni, last October.
#redsquirrel #squirrel #ukwildlife #EastCoastKin #photography #mammals
A Red Squirrel sits on a tree stump, beautifully lit by autumnal sunshine. She is mainly red all over with a white chest and belly. She is holding a nut to her mouth and is breaking the shell with her teeth.

An older Sparrowhawk pic given a slightly new reworking reworking. It was a remarkable encounter, and one I hope to have again 🤞
#birds #BirdOfTheDay #EastCoastKin #ukwildlife #photography
A male Sparrowhawk portrait given a slightly new reworking. A wonderful rusty brown and white chest. The top of the head is a beautiful dark grey, and the cheeks then match the colour of the chest. A piercing black and yellow eye, and a beak that is yellow on the top half and grey on the lower half.

Of course, she meant a hot chocolate drink ☕ in the visitor centre café, not the group. 🎵❌ Anyway, moving swiftly on to the #BirdOfTheDay theme for today: #snowy. We got very little snow around here, as you can in this pic of a Robin striking a pose at Brandon Marsh yesterday. #Birds #EastCoastKin 🌿
Photo of a European Robin (Erithacus rubecula) perched on a slightly snowy tree stump. We see the bird side-on, facing towards the right side of the image, head cocked slightly towards us. He or she has an orangey-red face, throat and chest. The top and back of the head, the back, the wing and the tail are brown, while the belly is whitish; the flanks are a little brownish. The eye is black, the beak dark grey, and legs and feet pinkish.

Another #Redwing at Brandon Marsh yesterday, feeding on Hawthorn berries by the visitor centre. We met a lady who said she had watched them while enjoying some Hot Chocolate, so we tried singing “You Sexy Thing” to attract them. 😉

#Birds #Plumescrolling #UKWildlife #EastCoastKin #NaturePhotography
Photo of a Redwing (Turdus iliacus, a type of Thrush) perched in a leafless Hawthorn bush, holding a scarlet-coloured Hawthorn berry in his or her beak. The bird is facing towards the right of the image, and slightly towards us, giving us a good view of the whitish throat, chest and belly, which are covered with brown streaks and spots, and the reddish patch under the wing. The upper parts of the bird, and the tail, are brown, with two whitish streaks on the side of the face (one running from the upper beak and over the eye to the back of the head, and the other running from the lower beak, beneath the cheek, to the shoulder). The beak is yellow, with black on the upper side of the upper part, and a black tip to the lower part. Nearly 20 more berries can be seen on the tangled twigs of the bush, and in the background a blue sky can be seen.

So tired after a day out at Brandon Marsh but it was great to spend time in the company of #birds – and my brother @robcamera.bsky.social. I’m going with this pic for #BirdOfTheDay theme #CaughtInMotion (although arguably it’s the berry not the Redwing that’s in motion!). #UKWildlife #EastCoastKin 🌿
Photo of a Redwing (Turdus iliacus, a type of Thrush) who is about the swallow a Hawthorn berry. The Redwing is perched in a Hawthorn bush, and facing towards the left of the image. We can see the front half of the bird. He or she has a dark brown-grey back, a dark red patch under the wing, a white chest and belly with lots of dark streaks and spots, and a head which is dark brown-grey with white markings (including a long white streak running from the beak and over the eye to the back of the head). The beak is dark but with some yellow, and it is open, with the tongue pointing forwards. In mid air between the upper and lower parts of the beak, and at the end of the tongue, is a small, dark red berry.

A male Mute Swan in centre of picture, beautifully lit by the winter sunshine. He is moving from right to left on the waters of Welshpool Canal which has a beautiful red brick colour reflection from a nearby building.

Season’s greetings to the #Mammals feed too! (Badger cubs are so easy to buy for. And yes, that’s a very young me on the left. Photo by my brother @robcamera.bsky.social, who was even younger. Santa hat added by me.)
Photo of a young man (me, many moons ago), wearing glasses, a grey jumper with black, diamond-shaped patterns on it, and green outdoor trousers, on his knees on some grass on the left side of the pic, right arm outstretched and hand, with peanuts and raisins, open. Oh, thanks to digital manipulation he is also wearing a red Santa hat trimmed with white. To the right, there are two European Badger cubs who have emerged from the hole under a wire mesh fence; the one closest to the young man almost has his or nose in contact with the hand full of peanuts and raisins. The Badgers have grey-looking body fur, black legs and feet, and white faces with a black stripe running up each side from the nose to the (small, white-tufted) ears.
