Your field macro shooting is amazing.
Looking at upgrading from Nikon DSLR to Z mount for macro and nature.
Is the z6 or z7 a better option? 8-9 are a tad pricey.

Haven't been very active here lately. Been busy thinning the #broadleaf #woodland
It's necessary work to encourage good growth and take out diseased #trees etc. #biodiversity is increasing every year now despite what some say about planted #forests😀

Saw my first one in the snows of '82 when I was a lad. It was trying to find some food on a bale of hay by the stable. I still remember the excitement I felt and how I pitied it's plight. Beautiful bird, thanks for sharing.

It is Ireland after all. The whole country is like big a PR job.
Climate emergency? Biodiversity emergency? Housing?
Missed targets and green washing is all I see.

Violet webcap (Cortinarius violaceus) growing under gorse today near the Devil’s Punchbowl in Surrey. An absolute stunner of a mushroom and nationally rare - it’s always good to see these beauties.

My father told me once one of the cows had a two headed calf before I was born. Born by cesarean it died or course. Crazy how things turn up in your feed that bring you right back sometimes Margaret👍
