Made my way to the Peak District recently for a spot of bird photography, took a little detour on the way back to check out some owls including this beautiful barn owl. One of two I watched hunting over a field. Ignore the fact its slightly out of focus 🤣 #birdphotography #ukbirding #barnowl

A woodland classic: a good ol' great spotted woodpecker hanging around on a birch tree at @ladywalknr.bsky.social 🪶 #ukbird #wildlifephotography

I recently made my way to the Peak District to do a spot of wildlife photography 😄 now this image is from today's trip but maybe you'd like to see my first trip to this location? youtu.be/IAg0RCXNhOo?... #birdphotography #ukbirding

Took a quick flying visit to #LadywalkNR this morning and was lucky enough to photograph this Redpoll just outside 'A Hide'. 🪶

I'm finally back out making videos again! In this week's episode I make my way down to Oxford to photograph some beautiful birds of prey. The winter can be tough for birding in the UK but this place always delivers 😎 #ukbirdphotography

A gorgeous little Razorbill 🪶 The bird was partially blocked by some grass & I was was relatively close with a long prime. This meant I couldn't play with compositions in the same way I would with a zoom resulting in this portrait which in all fairness, I'm quite fond of. #birdphotography #ukbirds

One of the UKs most beautiful birds; the Puffin. Every Summer thousands return to our coastlines to breed before venturing back out to sea for the winter. I recently photographed this bird at RSPB Bempton Cliffs 🦅 #ukwildlife #puffin #nikonz8

I once sat at WWT Slimbridge overlooking the River Severn hoping for a sleeping Spoonbill to wake up when suddenly this Sparrowhawk shot across the reeds like a rocket. I missed it the first time round but hoped it would return for a second pass. I was so glad that it did. #birdofprey 🪶 #nature

Just a pair of beautiful Gannets 🪶 #RSPBBemptonCliffs

New one for me! Attempted to spot my first Puffins a few months ago and totally failed, finally managed to catch a few recently at RSPB Bempton Cliffs! 🪶🦅 #BirdPhotography #RSPBBemptonCliffs

Took a trip to RSPB Coombes Valley & Consall Woods a few days ago to catch up with the beautiful Pied Flycatchers currently calling the woodland their home. 🪶 #rspbconsallwoods #RSPBcoombesvalley #ukbirds #BirdPhotography

Recently met up with @carlhowe.bsky.social to go photograph some beautiful Short Eared Owls! It's very fair to say my mind was well and truly blown by the experience. 😂 🪶 #ukbirdwatching #owlphotography #birdwatching #birdphotography

Who doesn't love a Barn Owl? 🪶 #barnowl #ukwildlife #ukbirding

Made my way to RSPB Otmoor a couple of weeks ago... Fair to say I love the place! #rspb #birdphotography 🪶 #ukbirding

Possible help with ID please? I was at Blithfield yesterday and chanced upon this bird. I believe it's a harrier of sorts but I'm not too sure which exactly. All images are still frames from a video (thus the quality) & I can post the vid too if that would be of use. Cheers! #ukbirding 🪶🐦‍⬛

Bit of a classic kingfisher shot taken yesterday at #uptonwarren. Always happy when one of these little fellows decides to treat me with a closeup view before carrying on with its day. #kingfisher #ukbirdphotography #birdphotography 🪶

Unexpectedly got the day off work today so made my way to Upton Warren for a few hours. Pretty quiet for the most part but did see a pair of great white egret, kingfisher, curlew, shelduck and this awesome looking rook 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛ #uptonwarren #birdphotography 🪶

What's usually a fairly shy species, often seen darting from one reed bed to another; the water rail. . . 🪶 #birdphotography #ukbirds

One of my favourite images of a Swallow taken over the last few months 🐦🪶 #birdphotography #ukbirdphotography #nikon

Never thought I'd reach 1000 subscribers by posting videos on bird photography 😀 I'm so grateful for all of the support!! Cheers! #birdphotography 🪶

Recently went on a bit of a hike around Cannock Chase with the goal of photographing birds and wildlife. 🐦‍⬛🪶 Why not watch the vid and find out how I got on ⬇️ 😎😄 #ukwildlife #birdphotography #ukbirdphotography

Hello Bluesky! We will be managing our presence here with WMBC to ensure a consistent approach across the Club's reserves. This currently includes retaining the Ladywalk account on X. To get us going, here is some blue sky over the main pool, from Riverwalk Hide. #UKBirding #LadywalkNR #warksbirds

Recently came across this awesome little Wheatear shielding itself from the wind alongside the River Severn. #ukbirds 🪶

Highlights of the morning for #Westmidsalldayer at #LadywalkNR were a bacon baps at woodyard and collecting some honey from the sticky beard hives after steady morning. Message then from Dave&Jane with Turnstone dropping in main pool! 141 for 3k #PWC2024 83 species total for morning.

My latest video has gone live!! I took a trip down to one of my favourite locations for a day of birdwatching and bird photography 🐦📷 Peacefully watching birds along the River Severn ✌️

Bagged my third West Midlands Bird Club newsletter cover today 🐦✌️

Good luck to all those taking part in the West Midlands All Dayer this coming Saturday. Unfortunately I'll be stuck in work but I'll be routing for my buddies at Ladywalk Nature Reserve. Fingers crossed something cool drops in for you all!

Made my way down to the River Severn recently, not too much to note but did get a lovely close up view of a buzzard who kindly decided to rest on a nearby perch. Despite being such a common bird I don't often get the opportunity to see them up close. #ukbirding #nikon

Finally saw my first Osprey!! It was literally a mile away and I unfortunately didn't get to see it fly but hey, still counts 😎🤣

Great video from #LadywalkNR youtu.be/NzrG_hV2-aY?...

The Hobby is one amazing bird, several weeks back I spent two days watching a pair hunt over the lake at #LadywalkNatureReserve. The way they catch and consume their prey mid-air is simply incredible! #BirdPhotography #LadywalkNR
