Red kites are nearly always high up over Oxfordshire, so it was nice to catch this one perched for a change and get a proper look a little closer. 400mm | 1/320 sec | f/7.1 | ISO 2000 #RedKite #WildlifePhotography #BirdPhotography #birds

Early hours watching Ospreys do their thing One swoop, talons hit the water and it’s straight off with breakfast. Fishing success can reach around 70% and with a trout farm full of osprey-sized fish, probably even higher 😂 1/2500s • f/5 • ISO 6400 • 200mm #Osprey #WildlifePhotography #birds

Earlier in the year I visited Cumbria and was lucky enough to spend a little time with this red squirrel. It was the only one I saw that day, but still brilliant to watch it moving through the woodland. 🐿️ #RedSquirrel #WildlifePhotography #BritishWildlife

A stroll near Stratford-upon-Avon turned into a lovely encounter with this Eurasian Jay, hunting for insects between the trees. I caught it just as it spread its wings and tail. 🐦📸 #EurasianJay #BirdPhotography #WildlifePhotography #UKWildlife #BritishBirds #birds

Up close with a tawny owl. Those huge dark eyes and feather detail made this one impossible to look away from. Nikon Z8 | 500mm | 1/400 sec | f/5.6 | ISO 360 #TawnyOwl #OwlPhotography #WildlifePhotography #BirdPhotography #UKWildlife #birds

Always love seeing a fox 🦊 Whenever I see one, it reminds me of an old BBC Micro game from the 80s where you controlled a fox trying to survive 😂 Controlled wildlife setting. Canon R5 + RF100-500mm | 300mm • 1/1250s • f/5.6 • ISO 6400 #RedFox #WildlifePhotography

Keeping watch from the old window I've always enjoyed seeing owls around old farm buildings, and this one couldn't have picked a better spot. It popped up at the window and just stood there watching the world go by and possibly wondering what the hell I was doing #LittleOwl #birds #ukwildlife

Spotted this thistle standing out amongst the grass while out walking in South Wales, so I stopped and hoped something would land on it. A few minutes later, this goldfinch made my day. Sometimes patience really does pay off. 🐦🌿 #goldfinch #birdphotography #wildlife #ukwildlife #nature #birds

Great to spend some time with the buzzards at Otterbourne Hides. This bird had just claimed a meal and called out to another buzzard eyeing it up. A fantastic behaviour to witness and a real privilege to photograph. #Buzzard #Birds #RaptorPhotography #BirdPhotography #WildlifePhotography

Taken at a trout farm near Rutland Water, where the ospreys come in to fish. It was incredible to watch them dive, I liked this frame because I feel it shows the power of these fantastic birds. #Osprey #OspreyPhotography #BirdsOfPrey #WildlifePhotography #UKWildlifePhotography #birds #🪶

A leucistic red kite at Gigrin Farm. With so many red kites coming in to feed, this one was surprisingly hard to keep track of — but eventually it turned in towards the lens for a brief moment. Lovely to see. #RedKite #LeucisticRedKite #BirdsOfPrey #WildlifePhotography #birds #🪶

Great Spotted Woodpecker from Shap, Cumbria. I always enjoy watching these, even if they rarely sit still for long. This one gave me just enough time for a close portrait before moving on through the trees. #GreatSpottedWoodpecker #UKWildlife #BirdPhotography #WildlifePhotography #birds #🪶

Didn’t expect to find a Mandarin Duck in the middle of Cirencester, but thankfully I had the camera with me. Taken at Abbey Grounds Park, where it drifted through the darker water and gave me a lovely reflection. #MandarinDuck #Cirencester #AbbeyGroundsPark #UKWildlife #BirdPhotography #birds #🪶

Following on from the rabbit, here’s a young duckling from a small pond in Ducklington, Oxfordshire. Small, scruffy, loud, and already looking like it owns the place 😂 #Duckling #OxfordshireWildlife #UKWildlife #BirdPhotography #WildlifePhotography #birds

Watched this Kingfisher darting up and down the River Windrush this week. Always great to see that flash of blue go by — even better when it takes a little time out to perch on the same branch a few times. #Kingfisher #BritishWildlife #BirdPhotography #UKWildlife #WildlifePhotography #birds

A little different from my usual posts. I don’t normally share many wildlife park portraits, but I liked the fine-art feel of this one. Taken at Cotswold Wildlife Park, this pelican seemed more than happy to pose for a moment. #Pelican #BirdPortrait #FineArtWildlife #WildlifePhotography #Birds

A little territorial drama at Swell Wood. Two robins were squabbling over the same patch of forest, with this one holding its ground and throwing out a bit of attitude. Small bird, big character. #Robin #BritishWildlife #WildlifePhotography #BirdPhotography #NaturePhotography #birds

With the light fading fast, I had to drop the shutter speed right down and hold the camera as steady as I could with no tripod or monopod. Just about got away with it for this tawny owl. #TawnyOwl #OwlPhotography #BritishWildlife #BirdOfPrey #birds #🪶

First light in a Cumbrian woodland picked up an iridescent blue sheen on this blackbird, so I leaned into that a little in the edit. A common bird, but always nice to see one somewhere a bit wilder than the garden or a park #blackbird #turdusmerula #birdphotography #birds #🪶
