Thrilled to share that my photo was placed WINNER in the 12-14 Category in the British Wildlife Photography Awards. So so unbelievably excited!!! 🙏🤗 Yes, cake joined the celebrations! 🍰😁 #ukbirding #birdphotography #nature #wildlifephotography #bwpa

Damp days are always better with this little fluffy Red Squirrel friend! 🐿️🤩 Just love his cute ears😁 #ukbirding #birdphotography #nature #wildlifephotography #photography #scotland

Spring is in the air! 🌱🤩💚 So many beautiful signs of the season, like this Cormorant showing off its stunning breeding plumage.🤗 #ukbirding #birdphotography #nature #wildlifephotography #photography #art

A Great Tit looking absolutely resplendent! 💙 Thank you for kindly posing 🐦🤗😁

A 20p coin! 5g - that’s the weight of this tiny bird.🤩 The Goldcrest is the UK’s smallest bird, and this one was especially ravenous, darting through the branches and foraging just inches from me. 🧡 #ukbirding #birdphotography #nature #wildlifephotography #photography #art

Carrion crow looking like a superhero! 🤩 Do you see it's cape too? 🤗😁 #ukbirding #birdphotography #nature #wildlifephotography #photography #art

A cute and innocent-looking Robin... or so it seems 😁 Don’t be fooled, this one’s a fighter! 🥊 There are three Robins in the area, and they’re not holding back. Full-on wrestling tussles right on the ground. #ukbirding #birdphotography #nature #wildlifephotography #photography #art

Pigeons blend into the background of our daily lives, yet they’re always there; perched on rooftops, strutting through streets, or soaring overhead, eager for their next snack 😁 Overlooked beauties!! 💙 #ukbirding #birdphotography #nature #wildlifephotography #photography #art

Redshanks are just so cool! 🤩 Many who are incredible migrants, traveling vast distances between breeding and wintering grounds, yet always full of energy. ❤️ #ukbirding #birdphotography #nature #wildlifephotography #photography #art

What a moment! 🙏🤗 So grateful I actually caught a Long-tailed Tit mid-flight with its wings fully spread! These little fluffs never stay still, can’t believe I managed this shot! 🫣🤩 #ukbirding #birdphotography #nature #wildlifephotography #photography #art #birdsinflight

The cheerful song of an excited Blue Tit always brightens my day, So full of energy and life. 🎶🌟🤩 Right now, the air is alive with birdsong as they defend their territories and court their mates in preparation for spring.

Once a rare sight in Scotland, I now see up to 9 on a small stretch of river. Their dancing-like movements, bright white feathers, and sharp eyes make them so fun to watch as they fish. 💯🤍 #ukbirding #birdphotography #nature #wildlifephotography #photography #art

One of our most precious little mammals, the Red Squirrel ❤️🩵💚 I'm so grateful to be able to watch their lively foraging and playful interactions with one another. 🤗 #ukbirding #birdphotography #nature #wildlifephotography #photography #art

Standing tall for the week ahead. 💯💪🤩 This tiny yet mighty Wren knows how to make its presence known with its bold and energetic song. 🤎🤗🧡 #ukbirding #birdphotography #nature #wildlifephotography #photography #art

Have you heard Curlews recently It has a call like no other, with rich, bubbling whistles. The name "whaup" comes from Scots dialect and is thought to be onomatopoeic, mimicking the curlew’s distinctive calls. #ukbirding #birdphotography #nature #wildlifephotography #photography #art

This busy little Treecreeper caught my eye against the setting light, its silhouette standing out beautifully. Isn't it great what pausing for a minute allows you to see. 🤗🧡 #ukbirding #birdphotography #nature #wildlifephotography #photography #art

The Coal Tit is a master of memory, caching thousands of seeds in autumn and remembering the hiding spots, a study showed they can remember where they've stored their food for up to 4 weeks. Cool right?! 🤗🤩 #ukbirding #birdphotography #nature #wildlifephotography #photography #art

The Little Grebe, or Dabchick, is a master of disguise. 🙃 Only around 25cm, it vanishes underwater in seconds, diving for fish or escaping predators. 'Dabchick' highlights both its diving habit and petite, chick-like form. #ukbirding #birdphotography #nature #wildlifephotography #photography #art

The ⭐ of my day, a Stoat in its stunning winter coat❄️🤗 Ermine, the ability to turn almost pure white in winter. Only those with the right gene transform, making this sighting eXtra special! #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephotography #sony #bluesky #photography #art

It's a joy spotting these tiny gangs of Long-tailed Tits! This little fluffball landed just a couple of meters away, I had to hold my breath to keep from shouting as I clicked away. 🤩 #bird #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephotography #sony #bluesky #photography

First time visiting this park in #Edinburgh, and within 5 minutes, I spotted this kingfisher, unbelievable! Even more incredible, it landed right next to me. Just Wow! 🤩 #bird #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephotography #bluesky #photography #thephotohour #art #sony

Lovely walk up a hill, snapping landscape shots of the city from an awesome vantage point, and BOOM, in flies this incredible kestrel, hovering right in front of me, locked into that gyroscope hunting mode.🤩 #bird #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #scotland #photography

Even on a dull winter day, this Blue Tit is as vibrant as ever! 💛💙 Longer days bring fierce competition as males battle for prime nest sites, securing an early advantage for breeding. #bird #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephotography #sony #bluesky #photography #art

Best foot forward. ❤️🤩 How sweet is this Redshank! Glowing in the golden afternoon sun, this red-billed, red-legged wader stands out against the blue waters. #bird #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephotography #sony #bluesky #photography #art

Still buzzing from this excitement a week ago! 💯🌟 Huge thanks to #BBCScotlandNews. Absolutely thrilled to be featured! What an incredible moment! 🙏🤗😍 #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephotography #sony #bluesky #photography #art

When I spotted the first snowdrops a few weeks ago, I couldn’t help but wish for a moment like this.🤞 And here it is! How incredibly adorable is this little Red Squirrel surrounded by those delicate white blooms! 🤗 #naturephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #bluesky #photography #art

Nothing to see here, just a Blackbird keeping an eye on things. Carry on... 📷 @kiransimpson.bsky.social

When Monday sneaks up with no warning...again. #MondayMotivation

Santa was extra generous this year, and I’m so grateful! 🙏🤩 Excited to share more of these tiny wonders with you, hoping they bring a little joy (and don’t put anyone off their dinner!) 🫣 Any spider experts out there? I’d love help identifying this one.

Merry Christmas, everyone! 🎄✨ Hope you’re staying cozy and enjoying the holiday vibes. 🤩🥳 Did you know robins are a symbol of Christmas because Victorian postmen, who wore red uniforms, were nicknamed “Robins”? They delivered festive cards, linking the bird to the season! 💚🩵❤️ #ukwildlife #birds

Happy Winter Solstice, my friends! ❄️⛄🎶 Looking forward to more daylight and all the possibilities it brings! Celebrating with this adorable Long-tailed Tit! 🥳 #birds #ukwildlife #photography

Guys, there may be an imposter amongst us?! 🫣😱 It was really funny to see this gull looking so at ease among the Redshanks, like it totally belonged there. Who else can you spot? 😂

There was a certain stillness that summer brought, but if you stopped and watched, there was still plenty of bird action. 🥳 Like this busy Tree Sparrow, darting past in a hurry to deliver the latest feast to its young. #birds #ukwildlife #naturephotography

Incoming!📣 Pink-footed geese are arriving from Greenland & Iceland! They’re here to spend the winter with us before heading back for their breeding season. Look up to the skies & spot their famous V-formation, such a beautiful aerial spectacle.🤩 #birds #ukwildlife #photography

Bright outlook ahead.🤞💯🙏🤗 Tree sparrows are recovering in areas with conservation efforts like nest boxes and habitat restoration. Once red-listed, they’re gradually increasing in hedgerows and farmland with restored habitats. 👏 #birds #ukwildlife

Little Jenny wren, our acrobat of the wild. 🧡🩵 Seeing these curious little wrens always makes my day. 🤗 #birds #ukwildlife

What a fantastic day at the UK’s largest reed beds! Seeing Bearded Reedlings has been a dream come true. 🤩🥳 Fascinating to learn, they eat reed seeds and consume grit to help grind the seeds in their stomachs for digestion. #birds #photography

Our humble Robin dancing like a ballerina 💃💛 A very sweet moment to see as this Robin, perched on a low branch, gracefully dipped into the water, and gave me the perfect pose 🤩

Looks like an elegant mid-air acrobatic dance however it's a mid-air squabble for an inch size piece of meat 🫣🤣 Amazing experience watching the Red Kites in action. #birds

I always love a day at the beach, but seeing this gentle Curlew made it extra special. 🏖️🪶💛Curlews have incredible bills shaped like tweezers, allowing them to detect the slightest movements of prey beneath the surface. #birds

Even our Little Wren pauses to admire the vibrant autumn colors. It's so so pretty out there... Have you taken a moment to soak in the beauty of the season too? 🍁🤗🍂 #birds

Heard this amazing Great spotted woodpecker before I even saw him! 🪵🔨 I love how their tapping echoes through the woods. They can peck up to 20 times per second! Almost as quick as a high-speed camera snapping frames. 😂🐛🪶🐛 #birds

Look who’s popped in for a visit! 😂 It's been a while since I've spotted one of these tiny wonders #Goldcrest 👑💛 It amazes me how such a small bird can thrive through cold, heat, and predators. Definitely Small yet mighty. #birds

Coming over from X 🖐️ Say Hi, if you recognise my cute Red Squirrel 🤗
