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.

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.

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
