More otters with dedication to my bb 🦦 #otter #ottersky #naturalphotography #wildlife

Kingfisher / Zimorodek (Alcedo atthis) Taken on 14/12/2025 First time seeing this guy in the wild. May he catch a lot of fish this and next year 🐟🎆 #BirdOfTheDay #birds #birdsky #wildlife #naturalphotography

This squirrel loved to lie down on a tree root covered with moss 🐿💚 #squirrel #squirrelsky #naturephotography #wildlifephotography

Crested tit / czubatka (Lophophanes cristatus) Taken on 13/12/2025 I met a flock of them high in the Pieniny mountains, tweeting up a storm as they picked seeds from the pinecones of a large tree. #BirdOfTheDay #birds #birdsky #wildlife #naturalphotography

Small otter having a blast eating fish! 🦦🐟 Mores pictures from a lucky find on a mountain trip ⛰️ #otter #ottersky #naturalphotography #wildlife

Eurasian otter / Wydra europejska (Lutra lutra) 🦦 Taken on 14/12/2025 in Szczawnica My first time seeing otters in the wild. This otter mama was working hard to feed the two of them, though the pup seemed pretty skilled at fishing as well. #otter #ottersky #naturalphotography #wildlife

More fluffy squirrels in action 🐿

Jumping squirrel, jumping squirrel, jumping squirrel sequence! World premiere!

Red squirrel with triangle ears doing some calisthenics 🔺🐿️ Taken yesterday 10/12/25 #squirrel #squirrelsky #naturalphotography #wildlife

Red deer / Jeleń europejski (Cervus elaphus) 🦌 Taken yesterday 09/12/25 Very unexpected encounter. I saw two of them walking through the reeds and the path visible on the photo. Unfortunetly there was little light as the sun was already setting and weather was cloudy. #wildlife #naturalphotography

New acquisition - #Zincite! This juicy-grapefruit-colored mineral rarely crystallizes in nature, and is most commonly found as byproduct of zinc smelting. My ADHD ass forgot to take a photo under UV light, oopsie! (keep an eye out) Specimen from Huta Oława, Oława, Lower Silesia, Poland 🇵🇱

Pair of pigeons living nerby. Always hanging around. Always together 🕊️💞 #BirdOfTheDay #birds #birdsky #wildlife #naturalphotography

Eurasian collared dove / Sierpówka (Streptopelia decaocto) This cute dove is a usual guest on this particualr tree. Yesterday I saw it trying to sit on it, but cause of the snow it was unable to. Today however snow has melted and cutey has sucesfully roosted yet again 🕊️ #BirdOfTheDay #birdsky

Short-toed treecreeper / Pełzacz ogrodowy (Certhia brachydactyla) 🐦🌳 Shot today on a very snowy day (23/11/25) I was suprised and really happy to find this baby today. Due to snowfall there was barely any birds around. ❄️ #BirdOfTheDay #birds #birdsky #wildlife #naturalphotography

I wanted some kind of mica (characteristically flaky, sheet-like minerals) for my collection, so naturally I ended up getting #Fuchsite - a chromium-rich variety of muscovite. The green looks uniquely metallic from a distance, but up close the flakes become so alluringly vitreous 💚

#Kyanite on quartz, with its frosty blue hue and dynamic, sharp angles. Esp proud of the first image (It's stacked from 12 individual photos!)

Otter's favorite uranium ore - #Torbernite! As far as green minerals go, torbernite definitely sports the most 'alien' look. Kobolds go crazy for it so watch out. (it's me I'm kobolds)

Closing this batch is my biggest specimen of milky #Quartz. It always amused me how many fancy names there are for slightly different kinds of what is basically just regular ol' quartz ("Kryształ Górski" makes me chuckle). I love the tiny rainbow reflections.

Otter finally got an actual tripod for macro and omg the difference is massive. Everything looks so much sharper now (thanks @imagorev.bsky.social for camera tips 💚) Results coming tomorrow - here's a sneak peek!

Common blackbird / Kos (Turdus merula) Caught him munching on some hawthorn 🖤🐦 #BirdOfTheDay #birds #birdsky #wildlife #naturalphotography

Great tit / Bogatka (Parus major) My round bird of the day photo 🟡🐦 #BirdOfTheDay #round #birds #birdsky #wildlife #naturalphotography

‪Eurasian nuthatch / Kowalik (Sitta europaea) Shot this morning 19/11/25 This little guy was sneaking his way onto a bird table. Surely trying to get some food on this cold morning. I'm very thankful for his posing in the classic nuthatch headfirst pose. #birdsky #wildlife #naturalphotography

More red squirrels preparing for upcoming winter 🐿 Shot on 06.11.2025 #squirrel #squirrelsky #naturalphotography #wildlife

Eurasian nuthatch / Kowalik (Sitta europaea) Shot on 06/11/25 One of these nuthatchers recently flew over to me demanding a piece of a nut I was holding for a squirrel. These birds are one of the few that can travel down the tree trunk headfirst. #Birdsky #naturephotography #birdphotography

It's Squirrel Friday guys 🐿🌰 #squirrel #naturalphotography #wildlife

Eurasian magpie / Sroka (Pica pica) I adore magpies. The iridescent shine on the feathers is absolutely stunning each time. In my previous place, I used to set out a bowl with water on a balcony and a pair of magpies always came to drink and bathe 🖤

More autumn squirrel shenanigans 🍂

Squorb! 🐿🟠 #squirrel #squirrelsky #naturephotography

Eurasian blue tit / Modraszka (Cyanistes caeruleus) Taken on 02.11.25 #Birdsky #naturephotography #birdphotography

Another pretty squirrel we encountered in the park last Saturday 01.11.25 It was quite timid but still curious enough to hang around. Whenever a dog was passing by it ran up the tree, squeaking and swishing its tail in either fear or agitation. Here are a few shots of it in the afternoon light ✨️

Eurasian blue tit / Modraszka (Cyanistes caeruleus) Couple of older photos taken back in September. #Birdsky #naturephotography #birdphotography

Even more of this pretty little guy! Shot on 30th of October 2025 #Squirrelsky #naturephotography #squirrel

Beautiful red squirrel in brownish-gray winter coat with red fur on its arms and legs. Reminds me of island foxes. Shot on 30th of October 2025 #Squirrelsky #naturephotography #squirrel

Last in this batch is #Tourmaline var. #Schorl, showing off its trigonal system with beautiful terminations. It reminds me of something but I can never exactly tell what. There's something really enchanting about smooth, polished, black surfaces.

Adding to the family of I-can't-believe-this-isn't-named-after-the-animal, here's #Crocoite🐊 - with burning orange crystals and a cavernous look that reminds me of a collapsed colonnade.

Here's a mix of #Galena, calcite & dark sphalerite. Can never get enough of those alienlike shapes, somehow looking equally geometric and natural. I picked this specimen up because it reminded me of a friend's fursona (bonus points if you can guess who 👀)

Next up: #Wulfenite with its gentle yet fiery orange tint and a myriad bright reflections. I refuse to accept it was named after a guy - to me this will always be the Wolf Stone 🐺🧡 (perhaps Fox would be more fitting though?)

Up first - #Wavellite! This yellowish-green mineral forms stunning radial patterns. What do they remind you of?

Yellowhammer / Trznadel zwyczajny (Emberiza citrinella) Shot yesterday 02/11/2025 Saw a whole bunch of them frolicking in the bushes while I was visiting my hometown. #Birdsky #naturephotography #birdphotography

Squirrels squirrels up in the trees! 🐿️ Shot on 18th and 23rd of October 2025 #Squirrelsky #naturephotography #squirrel

Red squirrels are getting fluffier by the day. Coats are getting grayer and growing a lot of fluff on their pointy ears. 🐿️

Eurasian jay / Sójka (Garrulus glandarius) Shot today 29/10/1025 It was helping itself to some food. Very dynamic shot ✌️

Vagrant darter / Szablak zwyczajny (Sympetrum vulgatum) Shot on 19/09/2025 Not that sure of its species, but I believe the red one is a male, while the other one is a female of one of the Sympetrum dragonflies.
