A Marbled White with a parasitic red mite attached to its thorax, which apparently doesn't do any harm to the butterfly!

Many thanks to all those who take the time to view comment on and fave my photos.

This beauty was part of seal colony just across the reef from our boat. This individual was curious enough to come close to the boat to check us out.

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.

Staffa has a fair amount of bird life including a few dozen Puffins.

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.

This wee lamb was showing its love to mum

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

This photo was exhibited at Woodend Art Gallery, Scarborough. 2017

This is an unusual picture for me, as I generally like my butterflies in a natural setting. This Wall Brown was captured in front of a blue plastic sheeting fence!

This was my 3rd “most favourited” picture of 2017, thank you all very much for interest in my photographs.

A beautiful and friendly bird voted the nations favourite.

As always I extend my sincere appreciation to all those who take the time to stop by and comment on my photos.

As the light faded on the Scottish cliffs the last of the sun moved behind the beautiful beak and lit it up like a lantern..

Turned out nice again. :@)

Razorbill in flight over the North Sea at Bempton Cliffs.

We spent a lovely day at Bempton Cliffs yesterday. The weather was kind to us - after the morning, which was initially a little grey, the sun came out just before noon and the winds were fairly light.

These Razorbills are a bit tricky to capture in flight, as they are very fast!

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

North Yorkshire Moors

One from the end of last summer! Hope you all had a lovely day! At last the weather was beautiful here today, long may it last!

Starling in my back garden, Aberdeen, Scotland.

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.
