Welcome to December ❄️ A month that takes us officially into winter and also offers a chance for reflection on the past year 🙌 📸 Lesley Marshall

❄️ We had a small taste of winter this week before it warmed up again, but we'll no doubt be seeing cooler scenes like this across the parks again soon 📍 Bushy Park , Kensington Gardens, The Regent's Park and Richmond Park 📸 Lesley Marshall, Chris O'Donovan and Mark Laing

🫶 A whole lotta love for this season, perfectly emphasised by this natural occurrence in Richmond Park 📸 Lesley Marshall

For those of you who aren't already following The Royal Parks, they are on Blue Sky now and have lots of great content like this (and yes, I am biased!) 😉

Good morning.🙂 How cute is this little grey squirrel I came across in a wood in Richmond Park? Have a great day!🐿️🌳🥜 #wildlifephotography 🦊

Good morning, Happy Sunday! Although the main rut has now ended and the most mature stags have settled down with their groups of hinds, there is still a fair bit of tussling going on amongst some of the younger stags in Richmond Park.🦌🦌🦌

Good morning! ☺️ Here are a few classic Scottish animals I came across on my travels in the Isle of Arran. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #wildlife 🦊

Good morning! Just in case anyone is missing my deer posts, they have them here on the Isle of Arran as well. I saw this gorgeous red deer stag chilling out with his harem and young calf and a hind, who seemed to prefer her own company, grazing on the shore. #wildlifephotography 🦊 #IsleofArran #deer

Doesn't everybody love a red squirrel? Here are some shots of a scurry of squirrels (yes, this is the collective noun for a group of squirrels! 🥰), taken in the grounds of Brodick Castle on the Isle of Arran. 🐿️ @nationaltrust.org.uk #wildlifephotography 🦊

I came across this stunning (leucistic?) grey #Heron perched on a rock in front of #Lochranza Castle on the #IsleofArran this week. It was literally stopping traffic - and I can see why! 🤩🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💕 @visit-scotland.bsky.social @everyheron.bsky.social #Scotland #WildlifePhotography🦊 #BirdPhotography🪶

Hear Me Roar! 🦌📢🤩 A glorious red stag making himself heard through the morning mist in #RichmondPark, London. (To prevent disturbing the animal and to protect myself, all my deer photographs are taken from a distance of 50m with a long lens and heavily cropped in edit). #nature #wildlife 🦊 #rut

Morning all! 😁

Good morning everyone!😊 Watching this pair of young stags having a scuffle at sunrise in Richmond Park was an exhilarating start to my day. #naturephotography #wildlifephotography 🦊🦌 #richmondpark #stags #rut

It was great to have the company of this handsome heron as we watched the sun rise over misty Pen Ponds in #RichmondPark. #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #sunrise

Testosterone is running high in #RichmondPark, with the big boys starting to making themselves heard now. It won't be long before the rut begins in earnest. 🦌🦌 @theroyalparks.bsky.social #wildlifephotography 🦊 #naturephotography #stag #rut

Sun Rising Behind The Shard. Some mornings are worth the early alarm call and this morning was definitely one of them. Lovely to see so many other local photographers out and about capturing this special moment as well. @theroyalparks #sunrisephotography #shard #richmondpark

An unashamedly sentimental post to celebrate our new park Floofs! Happy Thursday everyone. 🥰 #floofies🐣 #birds #naturephotography #wildlifephotography

I love that I live in such close proximity to not one, but two Royal Parks. This morning, my 5am sprint between Sawyer's Hill and Pen Ponds in Richmond Park to catch different views of the Summer Solstice was SO worth it! @theroyalparks.bsky.social #summersolstice2025

Happy Friday! ❤️ #puffins #skomerisland

Threatening storm clouds loomed large across the London skyline tonight. ⛈️

I had a magical trip to Skomer Island to photograph puffins, my favourite little birds. The weather conditions were perfect and the island was swathed in a sea of bluebells and red and sea campion. Here are some of my favourite shots! 🤩 @skomerisland.bsky.social #skomer #puffins #birdphotography 🪶
