January may be a cold month but there is plenty to spot on your walks ✨Keep your eyes peeled on the ground, on the water and on the sky to spot these animals and plants.

These incredible photos were captured of a barn owl and kestrel fighting over a small mammal at Martlesham Wilds.

One of the bright spots (in fact 16 😉) at Lackford Lakes @suffolkwildlife.bsky.social 'Welcome Day' today was Halyzia sedecimguttata, Orange Ladybird. On the bridge over the Culford Stream. #UKLadybirds #Suffolk #Suffolkwildlife
A Robber Fly grasping its hoverfly prey from behind and still with its proboscis in the hoverfly's back. I found these two on some path-side bracken in the woodland at RSPB Minsmere, on the east coast of the UK.
A closer look at the same scene
A scene I'd been hoping to find for some time and finally got the chance back in the summer at RSPB Minsmere. This Robber Fly was preoccupied enough to let me get a few stacked shots before flying off.

Can never tell our barn owls apart, now I know there are still definitely two of them at least 😆

Two new first time visitors to the perch cam this week, a Green Woodpecker and this Great Spotted Woodpecker (still quite a small bird in reality!)

A close up photo of a gall on a leaf stalk partly obscured by another leaf on which there are three black ants.
A not very good photo of a spiral gall on a Black Poplar leaf stalk turned out to be a better one of Black Garden Ants, Lasius niger. 🙄

A photo of a square made of sticks covered red and white tape placed around the hole leading to a bumblebee nest with two bees near the hole.
Very nice of @suffolkwildlife.bsky.social staff at Lackford Lakes to provide a landing strip for Buff-tailed Bumblebees at their nest (more likely to stop visitors to the picnic tables treading on them 😉). #SuffolkWildlife #Bumblebees
This bittern at @rspbengland.bsky.social Minsmere on Sunday emerged from the reeds and paraded around in front of 20-odd shocked birders with all the confidence of a Parisian catwalk model. Quite a treat!

This gorgeous photo was taken by Lynne Warner - when a rare red-footed falcon visited our Carlton Marshes nature reserve near Lowestoft.
