Hi all, I'm Ade, a hobbyist wildlife (mainly bird) photographer from Somerset, UK. I'm brand new here and this is my first post. White-throated Dippers are one of my favourite birds and photographing them in their environment is a style of image I love making. Looking for friends on here - say hi!

Male Snow Bunting surprisingly well camouflaged amongst dead grasses at a local beach last week.
Very confiding sparrow-sized birds overwintering here in the UK from Greenland or Scandinavia.

Snow bunting at a local beach last week. One of two birds I spent time watching feeding on seeds left behind by the tide. Brilliant little winter visitors to the UK shores.

This morning my daughter asked me what I’d like for Xmas.
This afternoon I got an answer for her - more moments in nature like this please 🥰 (and a decent flask to keep my coffee hot!)

Side-lit Robin at a local nature reserve I met on Monday morning
I liked this particular shot for the subtle highlights falling on the bird and the good eye contact. Thank you Robin!

Female Blackbird gorging herself on sloe berries from the blackthorn bushes at a local nature reserve earlier this week.
She struggled to swallow each berry which must have been on the limit she was able to fit down her throat!

Very sad to hear
It’s official, 2024 was the worst year for bumblebees since records began🚨
The latest findings from #BeeWalk, our national bumblebee monitoring scheme, have revealed bumblebee numbers declined by almost a quarter (22.5%) across Great Britain💔

So this happened to me today. And my heart swelled. The briefest, lightest touch of tiny feet on my palm as a wild animal chose to trust me with its life. Magical 🥹

Turnstone with a shellfish for breakfast at a local beach at Minehead. Nikon Z50ii + Nikon 200-400mm f4 VRii. One of the first sessions with my new Z50ii and I loved finally having effective bird detect AF and tracking!

Partly-leucistic male Blackbird in a hedgerow close to home this afternoon. Back to work tomorrow so desperate to get out for an hour with the camera today. Lightroom's NR cleaned up this ISO 8,000 shot on the Z50ii quite well. Handsome bird. #ukwildlife #birds #birdphotography

Carrion Crow at the beach earlier this week. Intelligent and resourceful these corvids are interesting to watch as they search out food on the tideline. I liked the slight blue iridescence in the plumage in this shot.

Common Redshank - deep crop and original RAW shot. Making crops this big I should be a farmer! Do you happily crop even if you don't have a high mp sensor (mine's 21mp)? What camera & lens combo is your go-to birding set up?

Common Redshank at full throttle yesterday. This guy was going FAST! One of the first action shots I've made with my new Nikon Z50ii. I'm impressed with the bird detect autofocus. I reckon this little camera will be a very useful tool for my #birdphotography. #birds #ukwildlife

Another shot of the Barn Owl I was thrilled to capture one evening earlier this week. Taken after sunset in failing light so ISO 9000 but I'm very happy to add another photo to my collection.
