What better day for this photo! National Robin Day and a suitably festive photo! Bauble had taken a few hits though! Merry Christmas all!

Lost something? A sanderling preens on the beach.

Lesser crested tern, River Exe, Devon. UK list 1st, and around the 10th ever for UK, I believe they call that a mega! Taking me to 209 species for Devon.
Uncropped image, quick phone edits shot on OM System cameras OM1. #rarebird

Time to start going over some shots from the summer, I've such a backlog! This reed warbler from a day testing the very capable @nikoneurope.bsky.social Z50ii Living up to it's name too, always in the reeds! #birdphotography #photoshoot #devonlive #devon #devonlife #devonphotographer #reedwarbler
209! Well it was a Slav grebe! Thanks to Exmouth legend Matt Knot for letting me have a peak through his scope as I took two energetic boys home after swimming and couldn't resist another one for the Devon list, been a great run of birds recently! What's next? It's going to get harder..... #birding
Awesome to see the juv Baird's sandpiper at LORP today, and amazing find by Steve Windle. Lifers roll on, 208 species for Devon, what's next. Great to see everyone enjoying this gorgeous wee wader. Great views by scope, distant for pics #bairdssandpiper #birding #lorp #rarebird
An incredibly peaceful early morning encounter with this buck. He almost came too close, then nibbled some shoots, and moved on. Always amazes me how many flies and bugs hang around wild animals.

No way...... I missed this. Please linger
This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.
Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉
Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace.
You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.
Beautiful Mike
Well let me know when you want to do a twitch in my bit of Stuttgart!
Dakar too, that would be a lot of fun!
First one for me yesterday over the LORP at Budleigh Salterton, Devon.
🚨 620,000 songbirds were illegally trapped and killed in Cyprus in autumn 2024 alone.
A new report by @birdlifecyprus.bsky.social reveals mist net trapping is on the rise in the Republic of Cyprus, driven by organised trappers.
Action is needed now.

Such smart gulls
I dunno, I love both I'll be honest. I've ridden all over and raced at a very good level, and messed about for the joy of it. Sometimes a good road and the right car is simply brilliant.
Chiffchaffers unite!

Best laid plans went massively t1ts up today, still when life gives lemons, make lemonade. Gorgeous birds the little egret. #olympus #om1 #mzuiko300mmf4 #photography #wildlifephotographer #wildlifephotography #photoshoot #devon #devonife #devonbirds #omsolutions #autumn #birdphotography #littleegret
Ha that's pretty funny. Both spikey and hard to handle at times
Brilliant rail action. That scoter easy to get? Seems to have settled there?
Finally caught up with one of the white-tailed eagle that occasionally pops by the River Exe, distant and cropped but a lifer! 202sp for Devon..... What a bloody awesome bird. Lots of grumpy corvids. #devonbirds #whitetailedeagle
Ah this explains why not eagle spotting!
Two professionals making great art
👌
Such a great photo
