A stunning Glossy Ibis! 😍 Taken this weekend at RSPB Ham Wall in Somerset.😊 A few years ago, this was a very rare bird in the UK, but they have started to increase on the Somerset Levels where I live, and will soon start showing up elsewhere, just like the Egrets have! 😀🐦 linktr.ee/carlbovis

If you think photographing birds in flight is difficult, you want to try moths!😅 This is a wonderful Hummingbird Hawkmoth, photographed yesterday from my bedroom window, just as it banked around to change direction!😀😍 Just look at that proboscis 🦋 (The moth looks a bit like a fish doesn't it!)😁
