Badgers, birds and wildlife photography Living in the West Midlands Retired and enjoying seeing as much of the world as possible, motorhoming newbie and loving it. Learning Swahili and Spanish slowly
Beautiful Grey Heron on the Macclesfield Canal in Bollington ... iPhone photos as that's all I had on me, very overcast so colours could be better ... but not bad considering 😊 #BBCWildlifePOTD @rspb.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social #digitalcameramag #wildlife #birds
Thinking back to walks in the Shropshire countryside before the hot weather broke ... much prefer the green we see today rather than the scorched earth #countrysidewalks #naturetherapy #wildlife
"Two little birds" on the New Zealand Flax (that I've just removed as we're wilding the new garden with native plants) #BBCWildlifePOTD @rspb.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social @sosshropshirebirds.bsky.social #digitalcameramag #wildlife #thewildden
So lucky to have 20 or so of these beautiful birds visiting the garden (Cyanestes caerulus) ... I love photos of rare sightings or raptors but the basic British bird population is fantastic fun #BBCWildlifePOTD @rspb.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social @sosshropshirebirds.bsky.social #wildlife #birds
Little punk rocker in the garden ... we have so many Blue tits it's fabulous #BBCWildlifePOTD @rspb.bsky.social @btoshropshire.bsky.social @sosshropshirebirds.bsky.social @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social #digitalcameramag #wildlife #birds
Different view of a Southern Hawker #BBCWildlifePOTD @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social #digitalcameramag #wildlife #wildlifephoto
Pastoral scene: a walk down by the Severn with the hound this afternoon … sat and watched the wildlife for a time … this lot got a bit bold with me sat still ignoring them 😀😎 #WildlifeWednesday #sheep @shropshirewildlife.bsky.social @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social #wildlife
Another Southern Hawker (Aeshna cyanea) from the pond by the Severn #BBCWildlifePOTD #digitalcameramag #wildlife #thewildden #insects
Beautiful Painted Lady here on Anglesey … everything is a little behind Shropshire here, Blackberries are ripe to go whereas they are over at home … and Painted Lady’s are rare now at home @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social #BBCWildlifePOTD #digitalcameramagazine #wildlife
Monochrome Ruddy Darter (Sympetrum sanguineum) at a local pond by the Severn ... enjoying the different view without colour #BBCWildlifePOTD @floraandfaunacurio.bsky.social @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social @insects.bsky.social #digitalcameramag #wildlife #thewildden #insects
Greater Spotted Woodpecker caught on Trailcam at #sparrowhawksett (ignore the date/time ... it was last week!) #BBCWildlifePOTD @rspb.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social @btoshropshire.bsky.social @sosshropshirebirds.bsky.social #wildlife #birds
Classic mating wheel at my local pond - Southern Hawkers (I believe) Aeshna cyanea - beautiful insects #BBCWildlifePOTD @insects.bsky.social #digitalcameramag #wildlife #insects
"Three little birds" obviously British birds as they queue up for some food! Another monochrome effort ... it's slightly different in processing and I need more practice ... @rspb.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social @sosshropshirebirds.bsky.social #digitalcameramag #wildlife #canonR6mkii
Ready for lift off ... another monochrome study of a beautiful Blue Tit in the garden (Cyanistes caeruleus) #BBCWildlifePOTD @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social #digitalcameramag #wildlife #birds #CanonR6mkii
The garden birds have really enjoyed the cooler temperature and the rain ... another beautiful Blue Tit (Cyanistes caeruleus) #BBCWildlifePOTD @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social #digitalcameramag #wildlife #thewildden #birds #CanonR6mkii
Monochrome Bumble bees on our lavender ... which one do you like the best? #BBCWildlifePOTD @shropshirewildlife.bsky.social @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social @insects.bsky.social #digitalcameramag #wildlife #insects
Fantastic evening watching 6 (yes 6) kestrels hunting in one field; after consulting those more knowledgeable than me, the opinion is that it's one family learning to hunt before parents drive youngsters off @rspb.bsky.social @btoshropshire.bsky.social @sosshropshirebirds.bsky.social #wildlife
This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.
Blue tit in the garden … it’s been ages since I played with monochrome, probably back to film days … think I’ll have a play for a few days @rspb.bsky.social @btoshropshire.bsky.social @sosshropshirebirds.bsky.social #bbcwildlifepotd #digitalcameramag #wildlife
"What you lookin' at?" if ever a blue tit looked like a bit of a bruiser, its this one #BBCWildlifePOTD @rspb.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social @sosshropshirebirds.bsky.social @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social #digitalcameramag #wildlife #birds
When you've got that itch right inside your ear and you just can't reach it #BBCWildlifePOTD @rspb.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social @sosshropshirebirds.bsky.social @floraandfaunacurio.bsky.social #digitalcameramag #wildlife
Kestrel keeps a careful eye on me over its shoulder as it goes into a hover ... bit far for the canon 100-500mm combined with the #R6mkii but not bad for being out on a walk and getting lucky! @rspb.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social @sosshropshirebirds.bsky.social #BBCWildlifePOTD #wildlife #birds
Ready to launch ... fledgling #RobinFriday looking beautiful #BBCWildlifePOTD @rspb.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social @sosshropshirebirds.bsky.social @jessops.bsky.social @britishbirds.bsky.social @shropshirewildlife.bsky.social @btoshropshire.bsky.social #digitalcameramag #wildlife #canonphoto
Today’s preserving task … chilli jam … just look at that colour!! Just been compared to Barbara Good from the Good Life which was a favourite program from my youth … I’ll take that!! #foraging #preserving #thegoodlife

Heard that distinctive call and then there it was ... I've got a nuthatch in the garden (woohoo!) just interested in a short dip into the birdbath and off but he'll be back #BBCWildlifePOTD @rspb.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social @sosshropshirebirds.bsky.social #digitalcameramag #wildlife #birds
