Good morning. For #ThickTrunkTuesday A mighty Oak. Because of the bare branches, I liked it in #classicmono. #photography #treelovers #EastCoastKin

Good morning. It’s a damp start to Tuesday in County Antrim. This was from a few days ago. #ThickTrunkTuesday #photography #Sunrise #Autumn #landscape #ThePhotoHour #StormHour #EastCoastKin

Beautiful Gatekeeper butterfly for #MacroMonday We saw good numbers of these in our garden this year! 🧡 Their favourite food was wild marjoram, a great plant that's easy to grow and is enjoyed by numerous pollinators! 📷 🦋 🌿 Happy new week! 😊 #Photography #Invert #UKWildlife #Nature #Gardening

They are such wonderfully goofy shore chickens 🦪 🐓

Quality time to some 📷🕊️ ….

#birds #woodpecker #ukwildlife #photography I was trying to get closer for a better shot of this green woodpecker, which was working out quite well until a magpie swooped in to chase it away.

The Dolphins put in a very brief appearance this trip, but I did get a knowing look from this Grey Seal as it passed by. #nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #uk_wildlife_images #olympuspassion #raw_allnature #wildlife_perfection #seal #greyseal

Common Blue (male) laden in dewy droplets. It should really be called a ‘Liberace Blue’ with the morning ‘Bling’ and its Crystal Lapels embellished to add a little sparkle. #butterflyphotography #butterflyconservation #savebutterflies #ukbutterflies #sunrise #commonblue #dewdrops #canonuk

I had to share this Wryneck at Turf Lock from a few weeks ago. . . . #wryneck #devonbirds #autumnvisitors #birdphotography #canonuk #migratorybirds #ukbirds #snakebird #theturfhotel #canonr7 #canonrf100400mmf568isusm #migratorybird #turflock #camourflage #jynxtorquilla

That's us heading for home now after a resoundingly successful Autumn Exotica in Andalusia tour, with all the butterfly targets (and a huge bonus!) found, plus some fine dragonflies and birds too. We can't wait to return next year - and hope you might join us. www.mariposanature.com/tours/butter...

It is time for @alan678.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay. The theme today is #birdsinmygarden Last Winter, a pair of Red-shouldered Hawks moved into the meadow behind the house. #EastCoastKin #PhotographersUnited #photography #birdphotography #birds #raptors #BirdsOfPrey

Steve is describing how fast he can run if he tries his best. Apparently it's really fast, much faster than Brad.

A little late, but I caught this cutie today for #FlyDay. 🥰 #EastCoastKin #Photography

Just three places remain available now to join us next year for our Late Spring Orchids of Sicily tour, led by 'Orchid Summer' author Jon Dunn, and local Sicilian naturalist legend Andrea Corso. As the Sicilians say, amuninni! www.mariposanature.com/tours/botani...

An unforgettable day with my @mariposanature.bsky.social group. I found Desert Babul Blue on the European mainland! There are a mere handful of past claims of it - this is an African species that's an ultra-rarity in Europe. I'm in a state of some shock. #butterflies @europebutterfly.bsky.social

I have shown this pic before but it is probably one of favourite sunsets ever. The walkers are my wife walking the dog with one of my boys. I t was just one of those moments that everything clicked as a picture. I must print it! #photography #sunset #Landscape #EastCoastKin #seascape

One of the two remaining reservoirs on Holme Fell. Originally there were three but one of them failed when the dam collapsed. I've never found the site of the third. They originally provided water power for the quarry workings below.

An Autumnal scene in the New forest from a couple of years ago. I remember this day as a magical light explosion of mist, frost and extraordinary colour. The horse just stood out and posed really nicely. #Newforest #autumn #horse #photography #EastcoastKin #Scape #Landscape

#TheRoad to Kolsay Lake in Kazakhstan may have been a smidge eventful, but a sense of calm returned upon arrival. #photography #nature #blueskyartshow #greensat #coloraday #art #scape #landscape #stunday #kazakhstan #travel #reflection #saturday #photohour #stormhour #mountains #trees #bluesky

This week, it was difficult to find a shot for #MothFaceFriday. I had to sift through a tonne of unedited images before I could find anything. This is a Gold Spot from earlier this year, anyway. #teammoth #mothsmatter #moths #leptember

A recent Convolvulus Hawk-moth. I think I've seen four or five of these this year, and I still need to see the name spelt out in order to pronounce it correctly. #teammoth #mothsmatter #moths #mothmonday
