Thanks Helen!

A Puffin nestled amongst yellowish vegetation along the clifftop, just catching the golden even light.

A memorable recent encounter, walking along the edge of the 400 foot high cliffs of Flamborough’s coastline and peering down to see this Puffin just a couple metres away. We were able to leave the Puffin in peace and carry on down the path after the fantastic views. #birds #UKWildlife

Great to observe mating and prey cacheing Hawk Owls in Norway this week.

Adders will be waking up soon! Only a few weeks until the first ones emerge, maybe some even sooner if the conditions are right. #ukwildlife #herps

After a little patience, this female Bearded Reedling flew in to only a few feet away! #birds #ukwildlife

Nice sightings Steve and meeting you again this morning. It’s great to see so many locals interested in this spot

Another Kingfisher shot from this week’s session by the riverside. #birds #wildlife

They certainly are! So elegant

A memorable moment recently watching several Short-eared Owls. This one made a close a flyby as it began to hunt in the evening! #birds #owls #wildlife

Thanks!!

Thanks!

Local Kingfishers have been showing well recently! Lots of successful dives from this individual and he posed nicely at times too. #birds #wildlife #ukwildlife

Beautiful!

Great-spotted Woodpeckers vying for the best territory. The freezing fog and covered their landscape in thick frost for days, so with food harder to find they tended to stick to the same tree for long periods of time. #birds #wildlife

A fantastic evening surrounded by Short-eared Owls y’day. Several individuals, including some close overhead flybys. Such awesome birds to watch hunt the rough coastal grassland! #owls #birds

Bullfinch on a frosty morning. #birds #wildlife

Red Crossbill from up in the mountains of Krkonoše National park, Czechia last week.

Thanks! The light on the beach was amazing

Wheatear just before sunset. #birds #wildlife

Sparkling Violetear showing off its iridescence. Only saw a couple of these in the Ecuadorian cloud forest but they were stunning! This one posed for a few moments, before it got distracted with chasing another hummingbird off some flowers. #birds #wildlife #birding

Sarayacu Tree Frog from the Ecuadorian Amazon. This was a nice daytime find whilst working on a finca. #herps #wildlife

Thanks!

Sometimes when you look up there’s a pair of eyes staring back! This Little Owl chick was exploring its surroundings and occasionally moved between nearby trees. Whilst waiting underneath one of them the owl chick finally appeared. #birds #owls #wildlife

A screenshot of a social media post from USFWSPacific that reads: "SHE DID IT AGAIN! Wisdom, the world’s oldest known wild bird, is back with a new partner and just laid yet another egg. At an approximate age of 74, the queen of seabirds returned to Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge last week and began interacting with a male." This tweet is paired with an image of two Laysan Albatrosses at Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge. Wisdom, the oldest known wild bird, is shown alongside her new partner, demonstrating her enduring legacy as a remarkable seabird.

We humbly interrupt your scroll to bring you the news that Wisdom—the world's oldest known wild bird—is breeding again, age 74.

Go on girl. 😍

Thanks! This pair were right on the edge of the cliff, fairly close in and I used the sloping grass verge as part of the foreground framing

Guillemots on the clifftop. #birds #wildlife

Stunning!
