Big old Woodpigeon, eyeing up the fat balls. Taken through mum's lounge window last weekend. #birds

Me? a Cave Art Stan? nnnnaaaaaawww

Here's a watercolor painting of two Monarch butterflies for my wildlife loving friends, because it's #SundayYellow and for mothers everywhere too, because it's #MothersDay here in the UK 🥰🦋 #watercolor #painting #artshare #butterflies #wildlife #Sunday #flowers 🦋🥰

robin at #wwtslimbridge! I hardly had to edit this, the sun was glowing and he posed carefree right in front of the camera! 🪶 I love how bold robins are, they truly do not fear us the way other birds do

finally, a sunny day 😮‍💨 heard a raven and saw a few long-tailed tits. also saw my hat on a bench, until I reached for my head and realised I was still wearing it and someone else has lost an identical hat!

My latest entry in "Birds That Are Done With All That Human Nonsense": This White-throated Sparrow, which just heard about people saying that sex is binary. 🪶

this article is fascinating!! well worth a read

we do this on the RSPB livestream! anyone can post their wildlife encounters on the official discord! discord.gg/CsRBpHSN

a big round wood pigeon by the bird bath in the garden 🥰🪶

Two nēnēs at WWT Slimbridge! Native to Hawai'i, and the rarest goose in the world, at one point numbering only 30 birds due to hunting and introduced predators like mongoose, pigs, and cats. Decades of conservation efforts have helped reintroduce the nēnē and native numbers are over 3,800 today 😊🪶

one of my favourite birds to see in Spain. and yes, they're fast!

can't believe I've never (knowingly) seen a garganey before, look at that plumage! seen up close in the large outdoor aviary at WWT Slimbridge 🪶

I’m struggling to find my tribe on this platform. Where are all the good photographers at? Show yourselves dammit!! Here are some kōtuku ngutupapa (royal spoonbills) looking suitably unimpressed with all this.

thanks for the photobomb! redshank in the way of a pied avocet at WWT Slimbridge 🪶

This is a photo that was really too far away to capture well and share a great copy but I wanted so badly to show you the feather display of this Yellow-crowned Night Heron that I cleaned it up just enough you can see some detail. Amazing bird. 🪶

Spring was in the air at Walthamstow Wetlands in London yesterday, even if it did start hailing right after I saw these Great Crested Grebes canoodling. 🪶

I got offered a job!!! my employment era is commencing! I'll have a salary and a desk and coworkers and stuff!!

Mama Mallard with her baby ducklings all in a row, with the exception of two off on a little adventure. The last duckling is holding spots for their siblings. Blue water of lagoon next to San Francisco Bay. #Birds 🪶 #Photography 📷

I turned out to be severely anaemic and the Vitamin (iron + vit c) did in fact save me!

One of the first photos with my zoom lens when it was new, can you tell? But I did get (so far) the best of the green I see on the Wood Storks. The green is so amazing it looks like taffeta. Sorry it's so close. 🫣😁🪶

Philippine Collared-Dove (Streptopelia dusumieri). Declining in their home range (Philippines), but quite common in villages of the Northern Mariana Islands where they were introduced sometime in the 1700s. Now considered naturalized, they're charming & sort of goofy with their hoarse calls 🎨🪶🐡🌎

Turnstones on Topsham 'Beach' (muddy gravel tbh). Can't resist a few photos every time I walk past; they don't seem to mind. #UKBirding

there's a dunnock in my garden that's always singing quietly, they're such underrated little birds!

she's beautiful!

Let's talk about James A. Harris, the co-discoverer of Rutherfordium and Dubnium, elements 104 & 105. He was the first African-American to be involved in the creation of a new element. Born Waco, TX in March 1932 BS in Chemistry at HBU Hutson-Tillotson College in Austin, TX.

more old pics, a red kite flying low over my parents' house around xmas time! a true UK conservation success story, they are a keystone species as they feed mainly on carrion, which helps prevent the spread of disease. they're also beautiful to look at!! #ukbirding 🪶

sitting inside at home worrying about worrying ❌ going for a walk in the woods when it's lightly raining ✅

There is this one delightful thing that always occurs mid-February. It becomes light enough again for me to pass by the local starling roost as they retire for the evening. Even with my headphones in, they sound like a little cheering section rooting me safely home.

it's been a good day here! 🦆💛

Iron Giant commission. Just finished. The paint didn't behave exactly as I'd hoped but I think it still looks pretty good!

For my first post here I thought this might do: a selection of North Atlantic Gadfly Petrels from a thing I'm working on.

slept most of today, getting food and water in between hours long naps; think it's safe to say I am ill 😴

bugs for my mutuals 🪲

Philomena!!

more old pics cause I'm a little unwell 😔❤️🪶 cormorant on the river happily preening showed off his white underfluffies 😆

the high of eating delicious food especially when you haven't had much early in the day is unparalleled, maybe having stable blood sugar is actually good for me

save me, handful of digestive biscuits

me too, here's one I got recently! 🫐

Stonechat near the Stannergate, Dundee landed just the other side of a bush from where I was standing, giving me close views for a minute or so. #Birds #UKbirding #UKwildlife

assorted duck butts 🦆🪶

❌ I’m in a slough of despond ✅ I’m in a freshwater marsh of sadness

Bewick's swan from a recent trip to WWT Slimbridge 🪶 this one was very sweet and half asleep when I came over for a photo 🥰#UKbirding

gorgeous water rail pics!

Queer icon

my coworker wins for the best-ever reason to reject a meeting request
