A little flash of colour at Rushy Common last week, this robin hovered just long enough for me to catch the moment.

A quiet moment with this kestrel as it held the stare for a few seconds.
Photographed in a controlled setting, which gave a rare chance to appreciate all the detail up close.

Caught this kestrel gliding through the last bit of evening light.
He held his line all the way across without a single wingbeat, one of those quick moments that just makes your day.

This egret looked at me like it was judging every life decision I’ve ever made.
Can’t argue with that, to be honest.

Walking the autumnal path in search of wildlife, those quiet moments often lead to the best encounters 📷 🍁

There’s just something about a barn owl that slows everything down. They seem to appear from nowhere, it’s always incredible to see them gliding by.

The red squirrel.
This little chap was definitely giving me the look, good job I didn’t have a bag of peanuts 😄 Taken at the British Wildlife Centre, always a joy to see these charismatic woodland residents up close.

A quiet pause on the water’s edge for this otter, it was just long enough for our eyes to meet before he slipped back into the reeds 🦦

When you're only 6cm tall but still absolutely convinced you're the main character. To be fair... they do tend to
present themselves well

A rare moment with this fox standing tall, it felt like I'd wandered into the pages of a Roald Dahl tale. R5

Snapped this fantastic Scottish wildcat in action at the British Wildlife Centre yesterday. They're doing some brilliant conservation work there to protect these incredible cats, definitely worth a visit if you've never been.

Chesterton Mill late in the evening last week, the first time I've seen it in person. It's stood on this Warwickshire hill since about 1632, commissioned by Sir Edward Peyto.

Silence to splash 🐦 After a perfect dive, this kingfisher broke the stillness of the water’s surface, rising with its catch and its usual flash of blue. R5 500mm EF IS 5.6 1/4000 and ISO 6400

This Razorbill was perched on the cliffs of Skomer, its patterned bill is quite pronounced almost like someone has painted it on. R5 RF 100-500 at 500m f7.1 1/1250 ISO 400
