Mr and Mrs Teal doing nothing at #RSPBGreylake #Somerset this morning. 😀
Picking a suitable landing spot in winds gusting up to 50mph can be a bit daunting even for seasoned flyers such as this Greylag Goose.

A delightful field mouse seen on the seed head of a reed mace at #RSPBGreylake #Somerset @rspb.bsky.social last week.
A freezing cold morning for this mouse to be out and about. 🥶
The sun popped out from behind the clouds and a female stonechat flitted onto the rushes.

12 hours out from sunrise to sunset, it was mostly quiet, but still managed a few gems.

A beige coloured reed warbler sits on beige reeds.
Often heard, rarely seen is my experience of reed warblers when I go to #RSPBGreylake . Not this time though. It was fleeting, but a glimpse was had. Delightful. #bird #photography #rspb #warbler
