Two of the rarest big cats in the world! There are only around 100 Amur leopards in the wild, and a further 220 or so in captivity. These two cubs were born at Colchester Zoo as part of an EEP programme to help safeguard the breed's future. A real joy to see them in person. #Amurleopards #bigcats

Have you ever been this close to a squirrel having a snack?

Top tip if you love bees and want to encourage them into your garden.

1. Put a few stones into a plastic flower pot saucer.

2. Add water.

3. Once the bees find it (they may take a few days to do do) you'll have them visiting constantly.

Always great to get close to nature; these squirrels in my local wood included. Monkey nuts are a help of course ;)

Good to see that the warmer weather has brought the bees back to the watering hole.

Here's a New Zealand Bellbird perched in a tree in the native forest of Shakespear Regional Park, near Auckland.

A year ago today, I encountered Giant Pandas for the first time (at Singapore Zoo).

We've been treating our local foxes to some extra food in this cold weather. They must be enjoying them as they come back nightly for more. Not the greatest photo but at least I have something to show for my efforts camping out in the cold.

Free-roaming ponies are a good reason to reason to visit the
New Forest, even on a cold and frosty day. They also make great subjects for your photos. 😊

With its ponies and varied landscapes the New Forest is one of my favourite places to visit at this time of year.
