A little egret working the shallows with that slow, deliberate patience they’re famous for — every step measured, every ripple telling it something. #WildlifePhotography #BirdPhotography #LittleEgret #NatureShots #CoastalWildlife #ShotByShae #birds

Spotted this Little Egret working the shallows - calm, focused, and completely unfazed by the world around it. Canon R1 • RF 100–500mm #LittleEgret #WildlifePhotography #birds #CanonR1 #EsheryPhotography #NatureInFocus

Wild wind, bad light — and then one perfect turn from a buzzard. #Birds #WildlifePhotography #BirdPhotography #Buzzard #BirdsOfPrey #CanonPhotography #NaturePhotography #RaptorPhotography #OutdoorPhotography #Ireland #AntrimCoast #WildlifeWatch #Focus #Precision

The Whimbrel - We always seem to have a couple arrive in spring and stay the summer so I’m convinced we have a breeding pair - although I have never seen young birds. #birds #irshbirds #Whimbrel #rspb

The cormorant is still fighting an uphill battle for a good reputation... And this picture doesn’t exactly help! It’s easy to see why some people aren’t too fond of these misunderstood birds. But trust me, there’s more to these water-loving creatures than meets the eye. #birds #rathlinisland

Bing man tears today, This morning I lost my precious Springer Spaniel. I can’t really articulate what Alfie meant to me but he was my best friend and im going to miss him so much. It’s been a long time since I felt so sad and I’m going to struggle without him by my side.😢
