Cheeky little Swallow captured a few weeks back on a local reservoir. They're little rockets, this particular individual was frequently flying between some nearby fields then back over a patch of reeds alongside the reservoir. I just managed to get a shot as it was on a return run to the water. 🐦🪶

Early start at the West Midlands All Dayer, few of my highlights included marsh harrier, sedge warbler & my first Kingfisher of the year. (Cant believe it took me till September to see one). Some unbelievable sightings logged by the team already, cant wait to see what we finish on! #Ladywalknr 🪶

Puffins are absolute speedy little rockets. These were captured earlier this year at Bempton Cliffs as they flew over the ocean before returning back to the cliff face 🐦🪶🌊

How can you not love Spoonbill? Big white waders with their signature long wide bills. This was the first time I'd ever seen them feeding, gliding their bills through the water, grabbing their prey before flicking it into their mouths. 🪶 #birdphotography #nature

I love the Summer... But I cant do the heat. I melt and burn. 🫠 Bring on the winter, if Im too cold I can throw on another layer and get on with my day. It also means you can get photos like these featuring beautiful frost covered scenery, allowing your subject to pop from the background ❄️🪶

Damian John @damianjohn.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Several weeks back I went for a walk in the woods and stumbled across a very cool bird. Not a species I had ever seen before but one I was absolutely delighted to see!

The beauty of the common tern. ❤️ During the Summer months you'll find them gracefully gliding over bodies of water in search of food but the real fun starts when they start flying together, putting on displays in the sky. 🪶

The first time I ever saw Brent Geese was on Anglesey, chilling on a beach feeding amongst the rocks. But whilst in Norfolk I finally saw them in numbers. Its the metalhead in me, loving anything dark but I love how these look: dark bodies, slightly grey wings & white on their necks for contrast.

Damian John @damianjohn.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

One from the archives, a tawny owlet in the forest. Embarrassingly I was walking down a path when I first spotted the bird but mistakenly thought it was just a child's toy left atop a post. I did a double take only then realising what I was actually looking at. Not my smartest moment. 🤣 🪶 #owl

A real underrated bird in my opinion (can birds even be underrated?) the Fulmar. I love how angular they are and the fact they defend themselves by vomiting an oily substance... cool stuff! #birdphotography #naturephotography

Damian John @damianjohn.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

Gannets are big beautiful seabirds who make their home on the side of cliffs, going out to sea to hunt and feed. 🪶 You can find thousands of them at RSPB Bempton Cliffs which has one of the largest (if not the largest) gatherings of gannets on the mainland. See them all here: youtu.be/T6oZ4h022Jo

My yearly trip to Bempton Cliffs is one of my favourites! How can you not love the puffins? But a real underated species; the fulmar are stunning. Anyway, all that and more in my latest episode 😎🪶 #BemptonCliffs #UKWildlife #NaturePhotography

Its always a special moment when you come across a Glossy Ibis. Once a rare visitor to the UK, the glossy ibis is becoming more common with multiple birds being sighted every single year. 🪶 Let's be real for a second - they look awesome don't they! #naturephotography #birdphotography #ukwildlife

The Gannet is a high speed plunge diving expert - they can strike the water upwards of 60mph! Not bad going, right? A little less action packed but these shots were captured as the birds were coming back to the cliffs to settle down. 🪶 #birdphotography #naturephotography #ukwildlife

Who doesn't love photographing deer? I certainly do and last week I got lucky; I had the opportunity to photograph a large herd making their way through the fields in the search for food. If I do say so myself, I think I got a few decent shots too 😎 #wildlifephotography #nikon #ukwildlife

A gorgeous little Razorbill 🪶 The bird was partially blocked by some grass & I was was relatively close with a long prime. This meant I couldn't play with compositions in the same way I would with a zoom resulting in this portrait which in all fairness, I'm quite fond of. #birdphotography #ukbirds
