A short video from our two encounters with Orcas here in Shetland last week. 🖤🤍 #MarineLife #MarineMammals #CetaceansUK #UKWildlife

With less than two weeks left of my solo exhibition, I wanted to share a virtual tour for those who are not able to visit. If you are planning to go, there’s still time. ‘When Beasts Spoke’ is on at Made in Stirling until the 10th May 💛

It’s an #Ant world. Noticed the soil on a clean patio - sat watching them being constructive 💪🏻

Can’t wait for this!xxxxxxx

With so much doom and gloom in the world just enjoy Rocky gently exploring the world, having a picnic and wagging his tail. This seemed impossible just 5 days ago

Throwback memory of #Starlings visiting my old garden for feeding, roosting & bathing. They really are colourful & noisy (in sunshine) especially after a bath! Took several photos of this #bird drying feathers.

A loveliness of #ladybirds today- warm weather helping. It’s the most I’ve seen in years. #SevenSpot 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🐞

If you need something to lift the mood please enjoy 50 seconds of my dog Hank. He knows Sundays are beach days. The cloud of dust. The head butt at the end. The land speed record broken! Have a lovely Sunday ❤️

Snug as a bug! #ladybird snuggled inside willow leaf burst.

#OrangeTipButterfly #CuckooFlower popping up and #Cuckoo #birds starting to arrive - isn’t #Spring joyful. 💚

What a beautiful day! Cherry Pom Pom blossoms me thinks but happy to get a correct name for them 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Without your help, wildcats could be lost from Scotland entirely 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Together, we can support their recovery 😻 Donate by 29 April, and @biggive.bsky.social will double your support as part of the #EarthRaise fund ➡️ bit.ly/SavingWildcatsEarthRaise2026

#Wildpatch #garden #insects #pollinators #PeacockButterfly #Butterflies Looks like a honeybee in background with pollen filled baskets. Both butterflies (+ Tortoiseshell )enjoying food in the last 10 minutes front/back gardens. 👏🏻💚

This is why ‘weeds’ are so important! Leaving a patch of #wildness in your #garden or a planter/window box enables #pollinators to continue their good work. #NoMowMay #KneehighJune #HowhighJuly is what I’m doing. It works 💚 #TortoiseshellButterfly #butterfly #LetWeedsGrow #WildflowersInWrongPlace

Absolutely love this image. We humans continue to break Mother Earth. We need to heal and repair her - so many innocent species rely on us. 🙏🏻💚 Please follow and support BOS. 🦧🧡🤎 #EarthDay

#MondayMood How is it Monday again already?! 😖 Let’s brighten the day by doing something positive for #orangutans! 🦧🧡 One way to help is by donating to Borneo Orangutan Survival UK / USA. Start the week with kindness and support the orangutans at BOS Foundation: borneoorangutansurvival.org/donate/

#WillowWarbler arrived in Scottish Highlands #birds

Sunday 19th April You cannae best a fresh out of the box (or should i say pupal case) specimen! #teammoth

#WorldCurlewDay I took this photo at Flanders Moss, Stirlingshire - giant willow #Curlew.

#NationalMammalWeek - all images mine - I’m so lucky to have wonderful wildlife experiences every day. 💚🙏🏻

We found Bridget just before Christmas. Her eyesight had gone and she fell of a bridge. She was alone. She could not be an happier with us now! Safe and loved

1/2 It's #NationalMammalWeek - a celebration of Britain’s wild mammals and the people working to monitor, protect and restore populations of these vital species, including the wildcat. Take part in Mammal Society's ‘Mammal Discovery Challenge’ and record your mammal sightings to win daily prizes ✨

Popped outside just now, it’s a stunning night! #WaxingCrescent #Moon #MilkyWay #Galaxy #Stars My iPhone photo doesn’t do it justice.

A wee #Dipper ‘dipping’ with a beak full of nutrious insects. This was a few years ago, the joy of watching - from a safe distance - these bonnie #birds feeding young. Be mindful & respectful during breeding season 💚🙏🏻

Absolutely wonderful charity, genuine and transparent 🐾🐾💙🩷👏🏻 #dogs

Kingfisher posing for snaps. River Kelvin near the Botanic Gardens in Glasgow. #birds

Ross's Gull in a potato field near Thornham this afternoon. A species that breeds in the arctic and rarely makes it as far south as Norfolk, hence there was quite a crowd out to see it. I'm normally a bit of a gull sceptic, but it was a stunning little thing #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds

Over the moon to be speaking this year at the du Maurier Fowey Literary Festival, about my book 'Dancing with Bees' Do please come if you can... or pass details to anyone visiting, or living in Cornwall who might be interested Fri 8th May at 11am Tickets 👇 www.foweyfestival.com/event/brigit...

I’d LOVE a ‘National clean your #bird feeders, tables & baths day’ please🙏🏻 Regularly do ours - but - what’s the point when other feeders in area aren’t cleaned? I will continue to do my bit. Limited feeding throughout Spring & Summer. Natural foraging for good better.

Love a pansy flower - they look like they have wee faces. 💚

A very welcome guest to our Shetland garden today - this absolutely stunning male Hawfinch. #PWC2026 #Birds #Patchbirding #BirdingScotland #UKbirding #UKWildlife

Mining #bees - Andrena clarkella in garden 👏🏻. Food source (willow) 15 feet away - watched her bring legs filled with pollen back to her nest.

We stop feeding when breeding begins. What I do see is many feeders lying empty & dirty for weeks/months 😢 It is too much a chore to wash wildlife dishes/feeders? I wouldn’t want to eat from a dirty plate would you? Rotating feeders. Cleaning underneath feeders. If this can’t be done - Stop feeds.

Took a walk after work to look for Ring-necked Parakeet, Victoria park Glasgow. This image was taken by myself in 2016, they have certainly grown in numbers & entertaining everyone visiting the park. #non-native #birds

So very sorry to hear this is, met him at a couple of his events. Friendly cheery gentleman. RIP. www.scotsman.com/news/pioneer...

Last cygnet refusing to leave parents (hope they do eventually or it may turn nasty), both constantly chasing young one round pond. #swans #birds Springburn park, Glasgow

#InternationalBeaverDay had a fabulous evening at @argatyredkites.bsky.social last summer watching a family of #beavers going about their business. No midges, swallows flitting above loads of #wildlife #insects #slimemould as well.

Frozen Kinder Downfall, from a winters walk a few years ago.

"9.6 million UK workers are to benefit from the changes to sick pay rules." They will be paid from day 1, and no longer need to earn over £125 a day. This will disproportionately benefit Clinically Vulnerable workers managing chronic health. @kalyeena.bsky.social
