Just love the tones...... Been to reedbeds at all different times of the year, late spring though and you get these gorgeous colours which change with the light... Just add a bird & I'm ecstatic!

Garden

Not the best quality picture of the day as the sun was in the wrong place and he was too far away but it was good to get a picture of him hovering before his dive. Clearly with those skills it was an adult.

I always advise people not to trust the fungi one finds in Epping Forest - here is a good illustration why. These flies visit a variety of unsavoury places before alighting on edible oyster mushrooms.

A young badger I filmed back in May tucking in to raisins, the soundtrack is provided by a young woodpecker looking out of its hole above me.

Edit:

My short Badger video has made its way on to the 'BBC Spring Watch twitter' page... I've added a link at the bottom of the comments.

On the Ceres burn in Dura Den in Fife this morning.

A gorgeous Short Eared Owl in flight a while ago at Farlington Marshes.

Cuteness overload! One from the summer a Great Crested Grebe carrying its youngster on its back. 😍😍

Yorkshire Wolds

Fulmar in flight at Bempton Cliffs.

Although they are gull-like, Fulmars are "tubenose" (having large, raised nasal tubes), more closely related to albatrosses.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fav my images.

This wee person was in Tentsmuir forest this morning
