Here's a rather lovely collared dove, from a hide in Leeds last weekend 🕊️🪶🙂 #birds #birdphotography

Here're a pair of greenfinches (male/right, female/left) from a hide session up in Leeds last weekend. 1/8000s shutter speed in good light captured the instant perfectly 💚🐦🐦😍 #birds #birdphotography

Here's a male chaffinch mid-flight, from a hide session up in Leeds last weekend 🐦😍 #birds #birdphotography

I was in the right place at the right time at Thursley Common this morning, and was able to take some footage of Dartford warblers going about their daily business (interacting, and preening). Taken at a respectful distance (50% crop of 1000mm FL). 🐦🐦🪶 #birdsphotography

Here's a new one for me: a male common redstart! I met this beautiful little bird at Thursley Common (Surrey) this morning. He was flitting between the trees and the ground, so I set up and waited, and my patience was rewarded. 🐦😍 #birds #birdphotography

Yup!

Bingo!

Think larger. Much, much larger 🙂

Close-up feathers. Can you guess the species? 🪶🐦🌈 #birds #birdphotography

Nothing poses like a robin! 🐦🙂 At Warburg Nature Reserve yesterday morning #birds #birdphotography

Traditional early-Spring bluebells and PointyBike photo! 🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻🚴‍♀️

Spring's red kite, perched amongst the blossoms at Warburg Nature Reserve yesterday. I saw it land whilst I was photographing woodland birds from the hide, and managed to get a manually-focused shot through all the branches. 😍🦅🪶 #birds #birdphotography

I popped in to Watlington Hill yesterday, on the way home from Warburg Nature Reserve. The red kites are ever-present and curious, checking me out in case I had any unguarded food (I didn't). 🔴🪁🦅🪶 #birds #birdphotography

All of a sudden it's extremely chiffchaffy out there! This one was chiffing and chaffing very loudly at RSPB Pulborough Brooks this morning. 🐦📢🪶 #birds #birdphotography

Here's a rather lovely-looking wild rabbit, from Warnham Local Nature Reserve on Friday morning. 🐇😀 #wildlife #wildlifephotography

Here's another adder from this morning's walk around RSPB Pulborough Brooks! Great to see these precious reptiles in their natural environment, going about their daily business. 🐍

I've been in the UK nearly 20 years, never seen an adder until two weeks ago, and now I've seen four in the wild! This one was warming itself in the morning sun at RSPB Pulborough Brooks this morning. 🐍 "...a snake in the grass..."

Here's a new one for me! A (slightly damp) stoat I met at RSPB Pulborough Brooks this morning. It was gone in a flash, I'm lucky it hung around long enough for a few quick photos. @rspb.bsky.social #birds #birdphotography

I've been after this shot for a long time! A male dartford warbler, displaying on gorse, this one at Thursley Common today. 🐦🪶😍 #birds #birdphotography

Here's a short video of three heron chicks in the Kelsey Park heronry today, whilst a parent performed some nest maintenance. 🐦🐦🐦🐦😍🪶 #birds #birdphotography

Here's another pose from the male bullfinch I met at Warburg Nature Reserve last weekend 😍🐦🪶 #birds #birdphotography

Thanks Helen! It's my first time photographing dartfords at Thursley, I never got a decent pic before yesterday. They were within 10 feet of me along the boardwalk, very visible at the moment.

Here're Mrs & Mr bullfinch having a morning bath, at Warburg Nature reserve last weekend. I had two males and one female visiting the pool several times during my visit. 🐂🐦🙂 #birds #birdphotography

Here's another pic of yesterday's adders, from Thursley Common 🐍🐍. This was early in the morning, they were sunning themselves and slowly warming up for another day's "adding". #snakes #britishwildlife

Here's a most beautiful male dartford warbler I met at Thursley Common (Surrey) yesterday morning. I've been after this species for a long while, and having recently moved down to Oxted it's become possible to go find them! 🐦😍🪶 #birds #birdphotography

I don't often deviate from birds, but I'll make an exception for this gorgeous adder I met at Thursley Common this morning! One of a pair of adders quietly sunning themselves alongside a path 🐍😍 #snakes #adder #britishwildlife
