Wendell Berry, another gentle giant. 'The Peace of Wild Things' will forever be one of my favourite poems. Travel well kind sir into the light of the day-blind stars.

Bearded Reedlings - a rare sight. They mate for life and females are attracted to males with longer moustaches! Photo taken with zoom lens & cropped. Upsetting to see photographers damaging reedbeds & too close to the birds. Please think about the wildlife and habitat when visiting their home. 🪶

Young Puffling on the Isle of May. I felt very lucky indeed seeing one trying out their new wings - a quick stretch, spin and back in the burrow! 🪶 #SuperSeabirdSunday #ukwildlife

First time seeing these lovelies - Green Hairstreak butterflies busy in the gorse in the Pentland Hills. So frail and flighty and full of character. Great to see them thriving due to good land management. If you build it they will come! @savebutterflies.bsky.social #butterflies #Edinburgh #wildlife

A favourite moment captured during a sudden snowstorm at Medicine Lake, Jasper. Mother moose with calf slowly making their way across the partially frozen lake. The snowfall created a painting-like quality. We were in awe. #Wildlife

Magical hair ice! This strange phenomenon (also known as frost-beard) requires just the right conditions - moist rotting wood containing a fungus called exidiopsis effusa interacting with moisture in the air at just below freezing temperatures. Spotted in Dalkeith, Midlothian. #fungifriends
