Red kite circled over the house again today. This one was quite low for a change (they’re usually annoyingly high up), but decided to fly behind this tree by the time I fumbled with my camera 🤨 Photos 3 & 4 are of a dunnock, or at least its feathery bum and legs 😂 A very plumped up and curious collared dove perched in the tree trying to see if the fat wood pigeons had left any food for it in the garden. They hadn’t. And finally, a pretty flower 😊 @btobirds @rspb_love_nature @bbcspringwatch @bbcwildlifemagazine
Today’s unapologetically obligatory bee-fly photos 👌🏼 I tried taking these on MF with a fast shutter speed (3200, I think), as they never stay still very long. All in all I’m pretty happy with these. @bbcspringwatch @royentsoc @rspb_love_nature @bbcwildlifemagazine
I saw my first small tortoiseshell butterfly of the year today. A stunning insect. I also happened upon this common toad making its way from one pond to another. He, or she, was very patient with me as I held their journey up. Once I’d finished I waited until they safely reached the long grass before toddling off. I was well chuffed 😊 The Galleria (my second home outside of lockdown), looked almost futuristic from afar, and I also saw my first reed bunting of the year, too 👌🏼 @btobirds @rspb_love_nature @bbcspringwatch @royentsoc
I normally only ever see skylarks high up in the sky singing for their little lives, but this one was extremely obliging, sitting patiently whilst I took some slightly out of focus shots (it was a long way off and I was at full zoom - stop it! - and using manual focus, so, yeah, excuses 😘). Slightly fuzzy or not, it turns out that skylarks are really cute birds 😍 @bbcspringwatch @rspb_love_nature @btobirds @bbcwildlifemagazine
I finally managed to photograph a pair of the large numbers of very noisy and boisterous parakeets that are resident where I live. They were perched high up in a huge tree and I only spotted them by chance. Excuse the overexposed shots, but the sun was behind them so I whacked the exposure up so they could be seen. The first photo has been meddled with in Snapseed, but I think I prefer the unaltered versions 😂👌🏼Either way, parakeets, though not a native species to the UK, are here to stay. @bbcspringwatch @rspb_love_nature @btobirds @bbcwildlifemagazine #parakeet
Today’s lockdown photos bring you: red kites; an ashy mining bee peeping from her burrow; a queen wasp; Max amongst the tulips; a pretty flower; more Max saving his energies in order to pester later; toe beans 😂 #lockdown #nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography #naturalworld #amatuerphotography
