The hover fly mimics the honey bee but is a true pollinator. This one (eristalis pertinax) is a male as there is a gap between the eyes (wiki). Common in our gardens from February to November. Great subjects to photograph. #macro #flies #nature #wildlife #wildflowers #pollinators #ECK

A fine rook for #BirdOfTheDay #BestOfJuly I used to take these birds for granted as they are always around but they are such a clever bird with great plumage of subtle colours, they are now regularly the focus of the camera. #birds #rooks #nature #photography #ECK

More of the light streaks video while panning to the sun today. Hoping for an explanation. Pollution in the atmosphere? #sun #light #streaks #astrophotography #wildfire #pollution #ECK #seestar #☘️
Not sure what is going on here, possibly pollution from the wildfires in the upper atmosphere?? Light streaks will panning to the sun with the seestar captured these. Any ideas? Second video to follow. #sun #streaks #pollution #atmosphere #ECK #EastCoastKin #astrophotography #seestar #☘️
Roberta used to come very close which gave loads of great photo opportunities. Sadly no longer around, but this one catches a nice glind in her eye. #BirdOfTheDay #YourChoice #robins #birds #nature #photography #EastCoastKin #ECK

A heron for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme #EyeOfTheWild There are lots of herons around yet they are still a great 📷 capture, especially up close! This heron, aswell as showing us two mighty eyes, also lets us known what fantastic plumage they have. #birds #nature #photography #longlens ##ECK

A little grebe #SittingDownOnTheJob but definitely doing the work, minding an egg laden nest built on a shallow lake. Spotted on a recent visit to Fota Wildlife Park. #littlegrebe #birds #nature #photography #ECK @fotawildlife.bsky.social

Why is Israel still bombing Gaza? It seems that war criminals can do what they want and they are getting away with it for sure. And the world is doing nothing about it. What is the point of having international law and war crimes if they're not enforced.. 🤬
The curlew (an crotach) is long associated with Irish folklore and has even featured on a postage stamp in 2002. Like many of my shots, this one is from Harper's Island, Cork. #BirdOfTheDay #Triplets #curlew #birds #nature #photography #ECK #☘️ @harpersisland.bsky.social
