The truly great commentators elevate a sport, Ned, David, Matt and team are amongst the best there is. An absolute shame that the iconic voices of the Tour de France will no longer be there.

Wish you all the best and thanks for all the memories and looking forward to your next venture.

This female Barn Owl is beautifully coloured, darker than some with more caramel colouring, especially on her facial disc.

Closest I could get to an Easter Bunny, a curious April Brown Hare.

Lovely Red Grouse, watching their moorland antics in spring is great and they make such distinctive calls.

One of the most exhilarating experiences in wildlife is being close to a Kingfisher. I'd waited so long my battery was almost dead when she turned up.

Lapwing / Peewit / Green Plover / Pewit / Tuit / Pyewype this bird has more regional names than a circular bread product, whatever you call them they are a beautiful bird sadly in decline in some areas of the UK.

When you work full time a Saturday with nice light is such a gift, this Kingfisher stayed around and fished for a good hour or so catching many sticklebacks.

It's always lovely to see your 1st Kingfisher of the year, a female (orange on the bill) briefly showing on a close perch at Yarrow Valley country park. #kingfisher #birds #yarrow #rspb #canon #naturephotography #addBirder (thanks)
