Spotted this little stoat tucked away in the undergrowth along the treeline at @belvidebirding.bsky.social while out birding with a friend. Always a thrill when the birds aren’t the only ones watching you! 🦦🌿

Atlantic Puffin, at RSPB Cymru Ynys Lawd (South Stack), Anglesey — such a beautiful bird and my first time seeing them. Shot on my Nikon Z8 with the 180–600mm lens.

Here is a photo I'd taken a little while ago at Beachy Head Lighthouse, I love that painterly look and feel, one of my favourite styles.

There's a special kind of magic in 35mm film that digital can't replicate. The grain, the tones, the timeless feel. This was a quiet moment captured with my vintage Balda Super Baldina.

There's a timeless, peaceful feeling to the English canals that black and white film just captures perfectly.

Snapped this on my vintage Balda Super Baldina with 35mm B&W film. Love the grain and mood it produced.

On World Migratory Bird Day, today’s #AutumnArrivalSpotlight is the Grey Plover! 🤩

These impressive fliers migrate from the Arctic, capable of non-stop flights of 6,500 km to reach UK coastlines.

Some stay for winter while others continue their journey to western Africa.

One of the most incredible WTF!! moments I have witnessed in 41 years birding Belvide. 8 White-rumped Sandpiper on the north shore between 4pm-5.30pm. Just short of a British Record of 11 on the outer Hebrides. Thought I'd lost the plot when I saw them. Still pinching myself. #UKbirding
Autumn is upon us and these leaves stood out to me with the multiple different colours, Autumn has to be one of my favourite seasons!

Today’s #AutumnArrivalSpotlight... the Fieldfare! 🍒

Flocks arrive from Scandinavia, filling UK hedgerows and fields with their speckled breasts and blue-grey heads, feasting on berries and insects.
Thank you, I'm glad you are enjoying it 😊
A quiet moment with two Great Crested Grebes. I was hoping for their famous courtship dance, but they swam off just after this shot. Still, a beautiful sight in black and white.

Come and join the Stafford Branch coffee morning on Saturday 8th November! ☕

A great chance to meet like-minded people, followed by an optional birding trip to Doxey Marshes 🦆

No need to book, just turn up!
So while I’m not well, I’ve decided to use the time at home to carry on carving my bird that I started last year and never got around to finishing.
