Nature, birding & photography are my passion & I love my volunteer work with wildlife rescue 🦊🦆📷💚 I attempt crafts & cooking occasionally, not always successfully 😊

They sound a bit like a squealing pig! Very elusive, only saw this one for a few seconds..

A water rail doing what they do best… running away at the sight of a camera! 😀 #lovenature #waterrail

Cold and grey outside but birds make it all the better. Kestrel, Robin, Blackbird and Common Gull all seen on my walk today 💚#lovenature

Female Kestrel sitting on one twig, brown speckly feathers. White sky behind as dull day

Robin sitting on a fence post, looking from right to left expectantly for food

Male Blackbird looking from right to left, standing tall on green grass

Common Gull, walking from right to left with purpose. White head and chest, grey wings with black tips

Just scrolling through my camera and it’s the usual robin, parakeets, starlings and squirrel. But then long tailed tits! Don’t normally get these in the garden, so a real bonus! 🩷🖤🤍 #lovenature

Time for change: no more fox hunting

Fox hunting, deer hunting, and hare hunting still take place in the UK. These cruel activities have been banned in England and Wales for nearly 20 years, but the law is failing us all. Too many animal...

Great tit looking splendid in the sunshine 💛 #lovenature #greattit #winterwalk

Small bird, green wings yellow front with black strip down chest. Black head, white cheek. Facing towards left on bare branch, eye catching the sunshine.

Thanks Michelle. Such characters and seeing their colours close up - stunning! 😊

Common birds can sometimes be overlooked in favour of the rarities. But birds such as the blue tit are a great example of nature’s beauty and often on our doorstep 💛 #lovenature #bluetit #winter

First fox rescue of the year this afternoon. I hope this one makes it as I’ve not had much luck with the last few 😔 🦊

A bitterly cold morning at Sevenoaks Nature Reserve 💙 Very much a winter wonderland though with a good number of birds seen, including Siskin & Redwing. Now to defrost! #lovenature #winterwalk #snow #sevenoaks

Clearly I need a lot more practice at taking photos of firecrests. Quick little birds 😂 to be fair I’m surprised I even got this… great to see though, even if only for a few seconds 😊 #lovenature #wildlifephotography #firecrest #winterwalk 💚

Long tailed tits are one of my favourites. They are so tiny but full of character 💙 #lovenature #wildlifephotography

Back to work today but as the sun put in an appearance, I had to get out for a lunchtime walk. Tufted ducks are really quite striking, especially in the sunshine 💛 #lovenature #winterwalk

NickyW @nixcat72.bsky.social · Dec 29

It feels like we've not seen the sun in weeks so it was lovely to see a bit of colour on another grey day. This blue-tit had just had a bath, so was looking very smart! #lovenature #bluetit #winterwalk

NickyW @nixcat72.bsky.social · Dec 20

It's been a while since I've been out for a walk in the winter sunshine so was good to spot my favourite bird, a Kingfisher, in my local park this morning. It was also great to see a nuthatch and lone redwing 💚 #lovenature

A beautiful walk at lunchtime . I did see 14 magpies in one tree on way home though so not sure if I should stay in all weekend or buy lots of lottery tickets 😂
