A dipper catching a bug from a riverbed.

Not had much time out with my camera recently, so it was lovely to catch this dipper having a quick snack at the weekend. #birds #wildlifephotography #ukbirds #birding

Hunting, or taking a peek at its reflection? #nature #wildlife #birds #birding #photography

A long-tailed tit perched on a thorny branch.

Long-tailed tits are such gorgeous, underrated little birds. This one was carefully avoiding the thorns. #birds

Thanks Rob!

Have you ever seen a puffin so happy with its catch, it just... Struts? #birding #wildlifephotography #birds #puffin #ukbirds

A puffin mid-flight.

Puffins are very speedy, agile fliers - my autofocus was struggling hard! #birds #ukbirds #wildlifephotography #birding #puffins

That's very kind of you to say, thank you!

Skomer never disappoints - and neither do these beautiful birds. #puffins #skomer #wildlifephotography #ukbirds #birding #birds

Another successful hunt for this barn owl! #birds #wildlifephotography #birding #ukwildlife

A close-up of a bird with a chestnut-colored head, pale yellow beak, striking blue eye, and glossy dark plumage, set against a soft green background.

Much less common than the ubiquitous Montezuma, the Chestnut-headed Oropendola is a superb bird with that gorgeous blue eye.

A pheasant amongst bluebells.

Had to do a bit of stalking to get this pheasant in the bluebells. Might have spotted me at the end... #birds #wildlifephotography #ukbirds #birding #pheasant

Back out in the beautiful weather. I feel very much like this blue tit now. #photography #birds #birding #wildlife #ukwildlife

Thanks very much!

Thanks! Agreed - it was very kind of the robin to pose for me!

Thanks so much! All credit to the robin! 🙌

Small, odd, distinctive vulture. Adults are boldly patterned black-and-white, with red bare facial skin. Juveniles are brown. Immature birds show a mixture of juvenile and adult traits.

Palm Nut Vultures - adult at the back and juvenile in front.
