Hawfinch - better known for its strong beak, strong enough to crack cherry stones and olive pits, than its ice skating ability. This particular bird can do it all ⛸️

Time stood still.
One of many images I managed to get in a quick encounter. During the months of planning I’d pictured several shots in my mind, but hadn’t considered this side profile.

The Iberian lynx, what an incredible animal.

Short eared owl from last year.
There doesn’t seem to have been the same influx as previous years, no luck so far this winter 🦉

Kestrel coming through at speed

I had to use a high shutter speed to ensure the kestrel remained sharp.

001 - a real day in the life of a wildlife photographer.

Posting no matter how successful, or unsuccessful I am in my quest for barn owl, short eared owl & more, so pressure is on…

A trip to RSPB Wallasea Island, Essex.
See how I get on 🤞

Taken in 2019 while visiting Finland. A very special trip and so lovely to be able to capture this family of Eurasian Brown Bears

A red squirrel image taken on #brownseaisland. These little creatures are very quick but also very cute!
