From earlier this year in Yorkshire a Red Squirrel investigating my trail cam wondering "how do I get the nuts out of this new fangled feeder?"

Green flowered Helleborine not strictly speaking properly in flower yet in Suffolk #wildflowerhour #Helleborinechallenge

This Grey Heron on petos at Carlton marshes is certainly working on reducing the local Tench population from the dyke in front of a trail cam

Good to see the differences between the Lesser and Vagrant Emperors in similar photographic scenarios at Carlton marshes

Had to wait for the sun to emerge this afternoon but it was good to see Lesser Emperor and Red veined Darter to add to the Vagrant Emperors at Carlton marshes

Spoonbill at Carlton marshes this week accompanied by five Great White Egret #ukbirding

An influx of Vagrant Emperor this week at Carlton marshes with at least 10 present and probably alot more. Great to see them after an absence of 3 years.

Lots of pyramidal orchids including this white form and Frog orchid seen this week in Suffolk

A quick wander around Carlton marshes this morning looking for flora and found these: Bee orchid, Yellow Rattle, Common spotted and Southern marsh orchids

Pair of Marsh Harrier mating at Carlton marshes last week. This pair have young on a nest so mating again now is unusual. I can only assume pair bonding but not seen this before with Marsh Harriers #ukbirding

In my experience Egyptian geese often don't make the best parents but this one chased off an Otter that came too close to its offspring #ukbirding

Unusual to see a Long tailed tit nest out in the open like this camouflaged alongside the lichens on the tree. Not convinced they will successfully fledge any young from this one though #ukbirding
