Fantastic capture, probably the best shot I have seen today …

I spent an overnighter at the Yahu rice terraces in Wuzhishan Hainan. Unfortunately I was about a week late and they had drained the fields and started cutting the rice ... Still a very beautiful location ...

“Ganzhai” (赶海), the traditional practice of sea foraging in Hainan Island is hands-on, muddy, and wildly fun, perfect for families, foodies, or anyone looking for a little coastal adventure …

Bei Gang Island is famous for “Ganzhai” (赶海), the traditional practice of sea foraging. When the tide recedes, locals and visitors head out onto the exposed seabed to hunt for razor clams, oysters, and crabs ...

Chasing the dawn: Local fishermen set out from Bei Gang Island as the first light of sunrise paints the water gold—a daily rhythm unchanged for generations ...

This little island (on the left) Bei Gang Island, will be my home for the next 24 hours. A traditional fishing village here in Haikou, Hainan Island, it has only reecently been connected with the mainland via Haiwen Bridge ...

My first post in what feels like a very long time ... Mulan Bay, just outside Haikou, Hainan Island. Spent the night camping on a very beautiful beach ...

I was just about to commet that this image feels a bit Tim Burton esque ...

I feel the poor mice (if that's what it is) don't stand much of a chance 😶

Fantastic shots to kick off the channel!

Fantastic shot!

Yinggehai, is a working fishing village on the southwest coast of #Hainan, is where time seems to slow down. The rustic charm of its working boats and stunning coastal sunrises make it popular spot for photography. #BlueskyNature #BlueSkySunrise #BlueskyPhotography #NatureOnBluesky #ExploreBluesky

This is a fantastic shot, I love the person in the middle for scale. Great capture!

Nothing like an early morning bath to start the day and unruffle those feathers! Duck in wetlands just outside #Haikou. #Birds #BirdLovers #BirdWatching #BirdPhotography #BirdLife #WildBirds

A waterfall is on the bottom left, lit by the sun, Mt Carrialoo is silhouetted in the distance, fog and rain fill the valley between.

I spent 2 years in Australia in my early 20's, and one of my most memorable trips was to the Blue Mountains. This photo reminds me of that trip ... Beautiful, amazing country. I look forward to following your channel and seeing your future work, lovely photos ☕

An elegant Chinese Heron at Dongzhai Wetlands, Haikou. It is a fascinating bird with distinct plumage that changes with the seasons, here it is transitioning from breeding to non-breeding season—nature's own camouflage technique! #BirdsOfChina #WetlandWildlife #BirdWatching #WildlifePhotography #Birds

Probably the best #birds photo I have seen today. Fantastic capture…

Proving the old saying true, “the best camera, is the one in your hand”. Nice capture 🤳

An egret and free-range ducks share a wetland pond near Haikou, stoically ignoring each other. Egrets often benefit as ducks stir up insects or small fish while splashing through the water. #BirdsOfChina #WetlandWildlife #BirdWatching #WildlifePhotography #birds🪶

This made me laugh out loud … 🤣

Thanks, just made the jump myself. Bit of a coincidence, my folks house in Ireland is called Brackenfield … nice name 🙂

Hi SBG, appreciate that, thanks for the inclusion ... will do. Regards from Hainan Island 🪶

Thanks for the nice comment! Books, Bowie and the Beatles, now that's something I can get behind 📚 ... and of course, photography!

Hi, thanks for your nice comment. This is a Common Kingfisher, sometimes called the Eurasian Kingfisher. Shot just outside Haikou City, on Hainan Island.

Caught mid-hover, this kingfisher gave me just enough time to capture its pre-dive pose before making the splash .... #Kingfisher #WildlifePhotography #BirdWatching #NatureLovers #MomentInNature #birds 🪶

I didn't know how much I needed to see a donkey snacking on oranges until now 🖤

I don't think I have ever seen a fish look more startled 😬
