#PWC2025 A bit of patch gold this weekend.

A common cuckoo pondering its next move 🪶

Labour promised to restore nature. ❌ Instead, their Planning Bill contains a licence to destroy it. We offered solutions. We’re done waiting. Part 3 of the Bill would gut the laws protecting our most precious habitats & species. Without significant change, it must be scrapped.

A Kestrel shot from the weekend, I had found this one mid snack, so took a few shots and left them to it. 🪶

It was a fantastic day, thank you #YorkshireCoastNature. I would highly recommend, it's a great location and amazing variety of owls. 🪶

A male Bullfinch on his frosty perch. It's been a cold week, even had Mistle Thrush and Goldcrest turn up in the Garden. ❄️🥶 #birds

Morning, this Robin was very bold the other day and I expect very used to being fed. 🪶 I will have to remember to take something next time.

I was quite lucky to have a Barn Owl in my local area this summer. #birds 🪶 Unfortunately it didn't find a mate to breed, fingers crossed for 2025.

Morning, a distant shot of a Marsh Harrier at #RSPBAirevalley St Aidans from the weekend. #Birds 🪶

My favourite shot from 2024. Hoping this male Osprey returns to breed in 2025 and fingers crossed, get another opportunity to photograph him🤞. #birds 🪶

Morning, nearly there! Another Mute Swan shot from the weekend. A combination of wind and threat posture meant all the feather detail was on glorious display. #Birds 🪶

Good morning, One of the best bits of learned behaviour I have seen in 2024. A Red Kite that eats fish. #birds

A chance encounter with a Kestrel at Funchal Botanical Gardens, Madeira earlier this year. I only had the 70-300 with me, but the bird was very confiding. #birds

Morning, I really like early morning light during Autumn and Winter months for photography. The opportunities might become scarce, you just have to grab them when you can. #birds
