Worm Moon, This morning peeking out from the slowly moving cloud above Horsham. #FullMoon #Moon #WormMoon

Full-on day to catch the Immature Glaucous Gull at Waxham. Lifer for me, never knowingly seen one before. Plenty of Seals along the shoreline and several Skylarks enjoying the sunshine. #birds #glaucousgull #waxham

We have a male Mandarin Duck at the reserve, he's latched on to a female Mallard and is often seen displaying to her. @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #birds #warnham

One of three Rock Pipits skipping around along Undercliff Walk, Brighton. They're incredibly tame thanks to the constant passing of people. @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #pipit #birds

Started my annual Goshawk fix near Crawley, Lucky to see a pair dancing and several close-ish flybys @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #goshawk #raptors #birds

Despite the rain, just HAD to get out for a while...Warnham LNR always delivers and had the bonus of staying dry in the hides. Here Reed Bunting and two of the many Siskins permanently there. @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #warnham #birds #Horsham

A rare sight this month, for once we have clear skies at night over Sussex. The Moon looking wonderful and Jupiter and 4 of her moons. #Moon #MoonPhotos #MoonShots #MoonShot #Luna #SkyAtNight #Jupiter

Love it when the local Dunnocks start competing. Our garden seems to be right in the middle between three males. @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #dunnock #birds

The Goosander (red-headed) at Widewater seemed to be battling with weed, much to the amusement of a Herring Gull who decided to join in the game! @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #Lancing #Shoreham #birds

Bird numbers are certainly rising around the feeders at Warnham LNR. This must be one of West Sussex's best nature reserves! @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #warnham #birds

3 months after fracturing her foot in two places, my wife has eventually returned to Shoreham for her cold water swimming. So meanwhile I'm with my camera capturing Turnstone bathing, female Stonechat and singing Skylark on the ground. @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #birds

The Water Rail, normally difficult to see and photograph but the freezing conditions force them out into the open a bit more. This one of several at Warnham LNR today @sussexwildlife.bsky.social @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social #waterrail #birds

Plenty of Redwings at NT Nymans right now. Judging by the amount of berries in the gardens I'll guess they'll be there a while yet. @nationaltrust.org.uk @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #Nymans #Redwings #birds

Fabulous little Redpoll at Warnham LNR this morning @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #warnham #redpoll #birds

This is a Firecrest, along with the Goldcrest they're our smallest native bird. We saw two together continually moving about the hedges at WWT Arundel. @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #firecrest #birds

Such a shame that many birds lose their summer plumage at this time of the year. We have a rare visitor at Southwick right now, a Red-necked Grebe that in a few months time will look stunning. Still, really pleased to catch sight of it nonetheless, and not a bad looker even now! #birds

What a sight! This the last Super Moon for 2025 and brief clear skies in Sussex revealed this stunner! Fingers crossed we get a another viewing tonight at Moonrise. #coldmoon #fullmoon #moonphotos

As I was leaving Warnham LNR I noticed these two getting closer, hung about and managed to get some pretty decent shots. @sussexwildlife.bsky.social @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social #snipe #birds

Pretty cool day at Warnham LNR yesterday. Despite vowing not to keep taking yet more photos of the Kingfishers, I just can't help myself when he takes all this trouble to pose! @sussexwildlife.bsky.social @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social #kingfisher #birds

Male Kingfisher defending his territory no matter the weather. Chased off a youngster at one point in the pouring rain. Warnham LNR. @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #birds #kingfisher

Clathrus archeri, commonly known as Devil's Fingers. Found several in various stages during the Woodland Walk at Sheffield Park Gardens. @nationaltrust.org.uk #fungi

A very obliging male Kestrel at Arundel Wetlands this afternoon, thrilled my Grandson to be so close to a bird of prey. @wwtworldwide.bsky.social @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #birds

Female Kingfisher enjoying the high tide today at Shoreham Fort. @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #kingfisher #birds

Got it! Comet C/2025 A6 (LEMMON) taken from Horsham, West Sussex. had practically given up when the skies suddenly cleared #comet #Lemmon

We're extremely lucky that every year without fail we have breeding Kingfishers at Warnham LNR. Usually the first sighting gets everyone excited and the hides are packed, today I comfortably sat with a few others watching this cracking male. @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #kingfisher #birds

More Waxcaps, all seen around All Saint's Church, Horsham. @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #waxcaps #fungi

It's Waxcap time at last! This is before and after of Blackening Waxcap. @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #waxcap #fungi

She's looking good tonight! The Harvest Moon, the first of three Super Moons this month, a couple of nights to go yet. #supermoon #HarvestMoon #fullmoon

Friday again already! Just knew a circular walk we like around Tilgate Forest would be productive. Promised the wife we'd find her favourite Toadstool, the Fly Agaric and we lost count of how frequently we did. #fungifriends #fungi #mycology #naturephotography

Another visitor to our newly enlarged wild pond, this a Southern Hawker, laying oodles of eggs in and around the perimeter. I wondered whether I was doing the right thing enlarging it, shouldn't have worried, provide it and nature will find it! @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #dragonflies

The first Willow Emerald Damselfly I've seen in our Horsham garden and a pair of Common Darters very busy in our newly enlarged wild pond. @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #dragonflies #damselflies

My weekly visit to Shoreham Fort and in glorious sunshine watched plenty of Stonechat and Wheatear action catching some of the many flies buzzing about. @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #shoreham #birds

Easy pickings for this Grey Heron at Warnham LNR, the Mill Pond is overflowing with fish! @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #birds #warnham #heron

I know the first one is Collard Earth Star but the rest were taken just because they looked good. The last one appears to be fungi growing on fungi! @britmycolsoc.org.uk @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #fungus

One of our local foxes has realised she can view all 3 gardens where food will be left out by simply sitting on our shed roof. She can also see the other foxes as they move around on their nightly prowl. Smart girl! #urbanfox #FoxOfTheDay

Chantry Hill yesterday morning. The Dew Pond was full of life (and water) Here, Corn Bunting, Yellowhammer, Wheatear and Yellow Wagtail but there were flocks of Linnets and Goldfinches too. @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #southdowns #chantryhill #birds

Monks Farm, Shoreham yesterday. Have I just found myself a Whinchat? @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #whinchat #birds

Female Blue-tailed Damselfly spotted along the Wey and Arun Canal yesterday afternoon. @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #weyandarun #odonata

This perch at Warnham LNR is well know (and photographed) here in Sussex, can't think why! @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #kingfisher #warnhamlnr #birds

Shoreham Fort and the nearby Adur riverbank and there were so many Wheatears there yesterday afternoon. @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #wheatear #birds

Little Grebe (Dab-chick) juvenile posing nicely at Warnham LNR. @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #grebe #birds

What a beauty! Timing's not the best though, going to effect the meteor sightings quite a bit this year. #SturgeonMoon #fullmoon

I'm probably completely wrong but have spent some time online trying to ID. Think this might be a nymph Stictopleurus punctatonervosus. Handsome devil, whatever! @sussexwildlife.bsky.social

Never would have expected a Golden-ringed Dragonfly to pitch up in our urban garden. Completely the wrong environment for it but I'm not complaining! This a stunning male I think. @sussexwildlife.bsky.social @britishdragonflies.bsky.social

Red Bartsia Bee (Melitta tricincta) found wherever there's Bartsia, which is pretty much right across Chesworth Farm. It's mainly concentrated in the SE of the UK with numbers apparently declining! @bumblebeetrust.bsky.social #bartsia #chesworthfarm

Yet more from RSPB Pulborough this afternoon. Here Ruddy Darter and Willow Emerald Damselfly, both my firsts for 2025. @rspb.bsky.social @britishdragonflies.bsky.social

Love it when my wife joins me for my forays into wildlife, she always finds things I've walked straight past. Here a Jersey Tiger Moth at RSPB Pulborough this afternoon. @rspb.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social #moths

Been aware that Brown Hairstreaks are around now, but had so far failed to find any until this afternoon's visit to RSPB Pulborough. Bingo! A fresh looking Female. @rspb.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social #butterflies #hairstreaks

Always get at least one Common Darter patrolling our wildlife pond, today he was joined by a Southern Hawker ovi-depositing in overhanging moss. @britishdragonflies.bsky.social @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #dragonflies

Brief visit to Warnham LNR and the Kingfisher(s) perched for just seconds a couple of times @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #kingfisher #birds
