Couple of hours wait were rewarded when the female Smew swam into view at Llangorse Lake, just before dusk. Also present were six Scaup, similar number of Goldeneye and Goosander, a Barnacle Goose plus both Cetti’s Warbler and Water Rail showing in front of the hide. #birdingWales #UKWildlife #birds

The very first bird I took a photograph of and the one that got me hooked. The Nuthatch. Cogan wood cosmeston lakes. 30/11/25 #birds🪶 #Naturephotography #UKWildlife #NatureTherapy🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Lovely winters walk around cosmeston today and great to see so many redwing hiding in the shade and feeding on berries. #birdingwales #birds🪶 #Naturephotography #UKwildlife #NatureTherapy🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Earlier this year I actually held this woodpecker in my hand and cut it free from a mesh fence, a truly unforgettable experience. A return trip a few months later to see a pair with a juvenile always puts a smile on my face. #WoodpeckerWednesday #birds🪶 #UKWildlife #Naturephotography #NatureTherapy🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

A bird I usually hear a lot but rarely get such good views of here in the UK. This stunning reed warbler was not bothered by my presence one bit. Taken in almeria 🇪🇸 #birds🪶🦉 #Naturephotography #birding #birdphotography #NatureTherapy

A few more shots of the stunning Willow warbler in almeria. Lovely to be able to sit and watch such a beautiful bird going about it's business 👌 #birds🦉🪶 #birding #birdwatching #Naturephotography #birdphotography #NatureTherapy

Back in sunny Wales after my first ever #birding trip abroad. Had a great time and saw lots of new birds but the highlight for me was a pair of hoopoes that were often hanging around just outside the hotel. #birds🪶🦉 #Naturephotography #Birdphotography #Hoopoe #NatureTherapy

I'll be honest 🤔 it's not the pic I was after in the garden & the Magpie is a bit of a marmite bird but the colours are just incredible 🦉 #birdingwales #ukbirding #ukwildlife #naturephotography #birdwatching #naturetherapy #magpie @rspb.bsky.social @rspbcymru.bsky.social @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social
