Perched on a branch, the kingfisher sits like a jewel of nature, its vivid blues and fiery orange glowing against the quiet beauty of the wild.🌿 Lincolnshire, UK.

 

I mean, look at those toes!!

The Springwatch team invited me up to Ynys Hir for a couple of days to have a look around behind the scenes, meet the crew, etc. I had a great time there. I went for a wander around the reserve on the first afternoon, but didn't get very far at all before finding this perched in a tree. I believe it's the first time the RSPB warden had heard of one there, although it's thought it was just taking a rest on its way to somewhere else. It is a target species for the reserve though, so hopefully more will be seen there in the future. I've seen Nightjar many times at night, but this was the first time I'd been lucky enough to find one in daylight, and been able to enjoy it without being marauded by midges!

I expect the iPlayer link to the episode I was on will expire eventually, but they've now added the film itself to the clips page too.

There's going to be a lot of these....

So here is my Snipe photograph being used as the backdrop to tonight's Springwatch, and also you can see the same photo on the cue cards in Michaela's hand (though with a slight purplish colour cast).

In the Dundee Howff graveyard today.

Watched as the bird graduall soared higher once it had found a thermal, this was quite low down.. Once it really soared, it met up with a second Buzzard and as I processed the images, I could see it looking around.

Seem to have a lot of archives... so here are some from earlier in the year.
