Delighted to find this scarce Little Gull at Durleigh reservoir today... only the 3rd time I've ever seen one! 😍
Spent an hour watching it hunt by diving into the water for bugs etc, it looks and behaves more like a Tern than a Gull! 😁😍🐦

I still have a lot of real followers there.. including some who did leave when Elon took over, but have since come back.. the algorithm there is quite limiting now though.

Carl Bovis @carlbovisnature.bsky.social · 8d

I really appreciate it, thank you so much! 🙏 ❤️

Carl Bovis @carlbovisnature.bsky.social · 8d

So glad you like it...thank you! 😊

Yes, I ship everywhere... that seems to be a glitch some people are getting when they try ordering from their mobiles for some reason.. please try using a desktop, and if you're still having problems please send me a message, either here or at [email protected] 🐦

Thank you very much Chris! 😊

This is why I'm always trying to think of new ways of attracting visitors to my shop....because if I don't, I get no visitors, I make no sales, and I have no business. 🙏
So please forgive my product posts amongst my bird photos.🐦

It was so far off that I wouldn't have even noticed it if I hadn't watched it land amongst the berries after shooting past me down the river.... a Kingfisher! 😍😀🐦

Good news everyone...I'm having more of my original book, '100 Birds' printed!😀
I sold out last Christmas & hadn't planned to re-print, but have decided having it available again will also help the follow up '100 More Birds' to sell too.😊
