Bearded Reedlings - a rare sight. They mate for life and females are attracted to males with longer moustaches! Photo taken with zoom lens & cropped. Upsetting to see photographers damaging reedbeds & too close to the birds. Please think about the wildlife and habitat when visiting their home. 🪶

Reflections on Duddingston Loch. #landscape #nature #photography #autumn

It's not often you see hares sitting still. Spotted this one soaking up the warm sunshine in the early morning light. #scottishwildlife #UKWildlife #Edinburgh

First time seeing these lovelies - Green Hairstreak butterflies busy in the gorse in the Pentland Hills. So frail and flighty and full of character. Great to see them thriving due to good land management. If you build it they will come! @savebutterflies.bsky.social #butterflies #Edinburgh #wildlife

A favourite moment captured during a sudden snowstorm at Medicine Lake, Jasper. Mother moose with calf slowly making their way across the partially frozen lake. The snowfall created a painting-like quality. We were in awe. #Wildlife

Magical hair ice! This strange phenomenon (also known as frost-beard) requires just the right conditions - moist rotting wood containing a fungus called exidiopsis effusa interacting with moisture in the air at just below freezing temperatures. Spotted in Dalkeith, Midlothian. #fungifriends

Lovely to see so many Great Crested Grebes enjoying the clear waters of Lake Geneva, Switzerland. 🪶 #Wildlife
