Caught the osprey at Ogston before they head off for winter. Waited 2 hours for it to leave its perch and still almost missed it. #ukbirds #birding #wildlife #birds #naturephotography

Much less common than the ubiquitous Montezuma, the Chestnut-headed Oropendola is a superb bird with that gorgeous blue eye. At @tapirvalley.bsky.social #CostaRica #birds #nature

Palm Nut Vultures - adult at the back and juvenile in front. 📍Kigali, Rwanda. #birds #raptors #wildlife #naturephotography 🪶
Small, odd, distinctive vulture. Adults are boldly patterned black-and-white, with red bare facial skin. Juveniles are brown. Immature birds show a mixture of juvenile and adult traits.

Red squirrels may be a common sighting for those across the pond, but they're a lot more scarce in the UK. Finally caught this one after much searching on my last visit to Scotland near Loch Ness - and he wasn't about to give up his lunch. #wildlife #photography #nikon #redsquirrel #ukwildlife
