At the roadside in Angus.

She was at Morton lochs this afternoon,when I was cycling in fife.

They were near Monifieth in Angus this afternoon.

A female Redstart in woodland beneath the Betws mountain, Amman valley.

I saw the first Redstart (male) on April 21st so it was lovely to visit my favourite Redstart spot yesterday and see one male plus at least two, possibly three females.

The male seemed disinterested in the females but the females were chasing each other about relentlessly! Is there a reason for this anyone?

Spent the afternoon up on the Mendips chasing bugs...

As seen on BBC SpringWatch Digital Grand finally 2020 !!

This afternoon in Dundee.

A female Kingfisher flips a fish around, ready to swallow head first as they always do. The image was taken in the Teifi Marshes in Ceredigion.

Black Paws was an orphaned fox I helped feed and she has now moved to her own territory.

I was beginning to think I wasn't going to make the ten-year run on the 'Watches'… When this popped up tonight. Needless to say, I'm well chuffed.

This tiny little fella was taken up on the Mendip hills.

I took this photo of a Dotterel last September, they migrate from North Africa to their breeding grounds in the Scottish Highlands. One of their stop off points for 'refuelling' is the Black mountain in the Breacon Beacons. Springwatch presenter Iolo Williams actually recorded one of his TV shows about Dotterel on the very same mountain. Sadly I have not been able to see any Dotterel migrating this year during the Spring or on their return this Autumn. I hope it's not a sign of things to come and hope next year will be better.

I cycled to Morton lochs and bumped into this lovely Male Pheasant.

At Morton lochs this afternoon.

Grey partridge are so shy, this male comes out to check if the coast is clear before crossing the path

Hope everybody is well. I couldn’t resist sharing this delightful bird with you.
