I'm used to the robins getting close, but was surprised by how brave this blue tit was! (Cyanistes caeruleus)

Eastern grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) showing me who's boss. Kelvingrove Park, some time in '22. These boisterous comedians are everywhere, but they're always fun to photograph.

Very cute little face on this Harlequin ladybird! Harmonia axyridis, first found in the UK in 2004 and originally from Asia. This invasive ladybird is now a dominant species here (80 shot handheld stack) #macro #wildlife #wildlifephotography #macrophotography #photography #insects

A dipper (Cinclus cinclus) on the river Kelvin, May 2025. One of only five songbird species worldwide adapted for hunting underwater. It's always a privilege to see these and a surprise when I found one so close to a city centre. #ukbirding #birds #wildlifephotography #wildlife #photography #glasgow

I watched these Eurasian #wrens (Troglodytes troglodytes) forage on an ice cold sunny morning at RSPB Baron's Haugh. I usually feel lucky to just get 1 clear shot of them, so after 3 I knew it would be a good day! #birdoftheday #ukbirding #photography #birds
