Fog and frost on the lake this morning. It’s an absolute perfect winter day.

Happy Friday! I hope you all have a good weekend. Here’s a Crested Tit on a lovely lichen covered branch #birds #ukwildlife

It nearly caused me frost bite in my fingers, and I had to battle high winds whipping my lens, but it was worth it to see the Snow Bunting - Cairngorms, UK. #birds #ukwildlife

Barn Owl on a barrel #birds

A Coal Tit, pausing for a moment on a lichen-covered branch in the Cairngorms last week. Their black cap and white cheeks are a familiar sight in the Highland woods, but you'll also find them in woodlands elsewhere. #birds

I genuinely cannot believe the degree to which we are pissing away this generational breakthrough, even given the fuckmuppets who are involved www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Mountain Hare (Lepus timidus) are slightly smaller than the European Brown Hare (Lepus europaeus) and whilst mostly brown in summer, as winter approaches they will moult into a white (pelage) coat. #ukwildlife

A Female Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs) sitting on my favourite lichen covered branch. #birds #ukwildlife

As some of you will have seen, I had the pleasure of photographing some amazing birds being flown by a falconer in the Highlands. So for today, I thought I’d share the incredible female Goshawk; elusive, secretive, and a complete powerhouse of speed and strength. #birds

When you spot a group of stags near a brook when driving, and hop out to look for a composition that will work. Video of what I see, and the image I took. (In comment post) #ukwildlife

A Eurasian Treecreeper (Certhia familiaris) climbing the trunk of a Scots Pine, with the sun catching the pinky orange hues of the heather and ferns which carpet the forest floor. I really like the complementary colours and textures here. #birds #ukwildlife

Barn Owl (Glen) thinking he’s an eagle in the Cairngorms. #birds

Loch Morlich ❤️

Red Deer Stag (Cervus elephus) in the Cairngorms National Park #ukwildlife

Male Chaffinch at RSPB Loch Garten yesterday #birds #chaffinch #ukwildlife

White Tailed Eagle #birds

Golden Eagles show no mercy - and you definitely don’t want to be on the other end of this look. #birds

It looks like Scotland doesn’t want to let me go (nor me it, if I’m honest). Flight cancelled. Guess I’ll be exploring the city tomorrow. Let me know if there’s somewhere I should see in Inverness

Urgh - 2hr delay for take off expected. Yuk. Guess I could process today’s photos maybe.

I’m a little bit amazed that I actually pulled this off. 🥰❤️ A Great Grey Owl in flight and headed straight for me. Uncropped image.

It was a special day for me today - I got to play with a few of my favourite species ❤️

Mountain Hare in the heather yesterday morning. #ukwildlife #cairngorms

White-throated Dipper in the Cairngorms #birds #ukwildlife

A little experimental shot of the Dipper with a slow shutter speed to soften and slow the water. 50/1s handheld - not bad going 😀 #birds #UKwildlife

Time for a game of spot the Dipper? I’ve made this one easy by starting with the bird, and zooming out to where I’m sitting on the river bank. #birds

Crested Tit - Cairngorms National Park #Birds #ukwildlife

Crested Tit - one of my lifers from yesterday ❤️ #birds #ukwildlife

@lotaylor23.bsky.social this was literally taken right by the visitor centre at Loch Garten this afternoon. Hope you get to see some next time you’re up here x

Finally- some better Dipper photos. I’ve even been able to play with some slower shutter speeds to try to smooth the water out. #birds

Mountain Hare: Target Species acquired ❤️❤️ #ukwildlife

I offered her scritches but she wouldn’t come any closer 🥰 #heilancoo #cairngorms

Lifer no2 for today - the Snow Bunting. I just about managed to stay on my feet in the high winds and snow/ice. #birds

A Coal Tit on a lichen covered branch this morning. #birds #ukwildlife

I made a new friend this morning - a first/lifer: the very beautiful crested tit #birds

This made me do a double take, on arrival at the guesthouse ❤️

The beautiful Cairngorms - Loch Morlich. It was a mild 5°C and very still- I even got some blue skies and sunshine when I arrived.

Movie review from Guardian on Melania.

Am I the only one to see faces in things? If the BFG were wooden panelling.

Alex Pretti, the man shot and killed by a federal immigration agent on Saturday, was an American citizen and ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center. Read more: https://cnn.it/4rjCSwF

It was a cold morning here, but once again, the birds don’t care! They were frantically foraging for food and this Pine Siskin paused for just a second in the sun! #Birds #photography #wildlife 🪶

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Timeline cleanse: Brown Hare (Lepus europaeus) #ukwildlife #wildlife #brownhare

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

In the UK we have seen people killed by the police denigrated after their death. We saw it with John Charles de Menezes, just as we saw it with the victims and survivors of Hillsborough- reputations torn apart in the press based on briefings from law enforcement. We see you Minneapolis 🖤

Signs of spring: Blackthorn blossom.

I know it's not within the hundred most awful things here, but... the nearest penguins to Greenland are in the Galapagos, five thousand fucking miles away

Harry Enten: “Wanna know how poorly Trump buying Greenland polls? Worse than the Epstein files. Seriously, Trump's net approval rating on any attempt to buy Greenland (-40 pts) is lower than his net approval on the Epstein files (-38 pts). Greenland is arguably Trump's worst polling issue.”
