We’ve been itching to post this photo, but couldn’t find the right theme! If you’ve been to the Farnes, or anywhere with terns trying to protect nests by pecking photographers. You may recognise this dilemma, did I pack the wrong lens for a closeup? #YourChoice #BirdoftheDay #Farnes #Birds #Terns
This gatekeeper butterfly came and joined me in my ‘summer palace’ (shed) and let me take a nice close up In my phone! #butterflies #SaveButterflies #wildlife
