The self portrait for December and the final photo in my series of One Self Portrait a Month in 2014.
I decided this final portrait needed to be red, which is my favourite colour. I'm so glad to be done with this series. Working on it felt tedious. I've come to realize I don't enjoy shooting self portraits the way I did in the past.
Underparts are generally white-cream-coloured

The red squirrel has a typical head-and-body length of 19 to 23 cm (7+1⁄2 to 9 in), a tail length of 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 in), and a mass of 250 to 340 g (9 to 12 oz). Males and females are the same size. The Eurasian red squirrel is somewhat smaller than the American eastern grey squirrel, which has a head-and-body length of 25 to 30 cm (10 to 12 in) and weighs between 400 and 800 g (14 oz and 1 lb 12 oz).
The long tail helps the squirrel to balance and steer when jumping from tree to tree and running along branches and may keep the animal warm during sleep.[8]
The red squirrel, like most tree squirrels, has sharp curved claws to help it to climb and descend broad tree trunks, thin branches, and even house walls. Its strong hind legs let it leap gaps between trees. The red squirrel also can swim.[9][failed verification]
The coat of the red squirrel varies in colour with time of year and location. There are several coat colour morphs ranging from black to red. Red coats are most common in Great Britain; in other parts of Europe and Asia different coat colours coexist within populations, much like hair colour in some human populations. The underside of the squirrel is always white-cream in colour. The red squirrel sheds its coat twice a year, switching from a thinner summer coat to a thicker, darker winter coat with noticeably larger ear-tufts (a prominent distinguishing feature of this species) between August and November. A lighter, redder overall coat colour, along with the ear-tufts (in adults) and smaller size, distinguish the red squirrel from the eastern grey squirrel.[10][11] The red colour offers camouflage when seen against the bark of pine trees

The red-breasted merganser (Mergus serrator) is a duck species that is native to much of the Northern Hemisphere. The red breast that gives the species its common name is only displayed by males in breeding plumage. Individuals fly rapidly, and feed by diving from the surface to pursue aquatic animals underwater, using serrated bills to capture slippery fish. They migrate each year from breeding sites on lakes and rivers to their mostly coastal wintering areas, making them the only species in the genus Mergus to frequent saltwater. They form flocks outside of breeding season that are usually small but can reach 100 individuals. The worldwide population of this species is stable, though it is threatened in some areas by habitat loss and other factors.

Where we used to live (near Oxford), Red Kites were a common sight. Sometimes you would see three or more circing high in the sky over our house. After moving to rural Somerset we never see them at all. Perhaps in af ew years they will spread westwards...
Each year, the Darom Adom Festival follows the rainy season, when the ordinarily green landscape of the northern Negev is covered with a magnificent carpet of scarlet red anemones.
I believe this is a young red-tailed hawk. It perched on a power line pole and was quite curious as I walked slowly toward it. It took flight after I thought I was finished taking photos and had walked back toward my car. Near Uvalde, Texas in December 2019.
I was attempting to photograph the insect swarm in the setting sun and this red deer hind trotted through in Bushy Park in May. I already posted another shot from the same sequence earlier, but I think I like this one better. This image was featured in Explore, 22nd of February, 2025.

Red and purple spring leaves.
I made this photograph during a morning visit to a botanical garden with Patty a few weeks ago. We arrived early enough that there were still areas next to hedges, under trees, and near structures that remained in the shade — the full daylight sun is often too intense and harsh for this sort of photography. These leaves, while themselves in shade, were close enough to brighter light to puck up some directional highlights.
The colors actually were pretty much this intense. The plant has very reddish (or maroon in some light) leaves, and the shadows shifted the balance toward blue. Something that only occurred to me much later — the soft, rounded shapes of the background level almost suggest the very blurry bokeh shapes in the even further distance.

I know that many of you consider Red Kites as commonplace but they are still quite scarce where I live in the Pennines, with the nearest breeding birds about 20 miles away near Leeds. During my lockdown cycling exercise sessions I have chanced upon a Red Kite on three occasions on the edge of the Peak District moors over a period of six weeks. I managed photographs on each occasion and all appear to be of the same bird with the same feather nicks, yet I never saw it between these sightings despite daily visits. I'm always reluctant to post Kite photographs as I know some of you take hundreds of photographs of them, and to a really high standard, and mine are just opportunistic encounters. But I thought it was worth posting as it was photographed in the Holmfirth area where they are not common. I photographed this one on the edge of the moors where a silage meadow was being cut. it was attracting attention from several gulls, corvids and a Buzzard, plus this Red Kite. I managed just a handful of close shots before it drifted away.
I can still remember the days when Red Kites were rare, and you had to travel to secret sites in Central Wales hoping for a sighting. Red Kites were once a common bird throughout Britain. As an indication of how commonplace they were, Shakespeare referred to them on no fewer than 15 occasions. But its fortunes changed during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries when they were heavily persecuted. A reward was put on "hooked beaks" because they might interfere with aristocrats' hunting pleasure. And because Red Kite was so tame and slow flying, it was the easiest hooked beak to claim a reward for. By the 1870s it had been extirpated from England and followed suit in Scotland in 1898. It clung on in isolated valleys in central Wales with a population low during the 1930s when only 14 broods were recorded during the entire decade. A reintroduction began in 1989, first into England, then Scotland. This has been a conservation success story as there are now more than 4400 pairs in Britain, including well over a hundred pairs in Yorkshire.

A Red Shoulder Hawk on a stick! It doesn't matter what the weather is, nothing deterrs a hungry hawk from hunting. Storm clouds are in the backround and a ray of light is highlighting his head while thunder is clapping in the distance.
Red-breasted Nuthatches live in conifer woods primarily in the north and West. In winter some of the northernmost birds migrate south, irregularly in large numbers. Then they may show up out of place or at your feeder. If the habitat is right, they may even stay around to nest.
