Saturdays are for random sheep. This beauty is also from Lundy 🇬🇧. It's a mix between the Texel and Cheviot breeds. #EastCoastKin #photography #animals #nature

Two silly little Soay Sheep in the morning light on Lundy 🇬🇧. One of the two breeds of sheep that developed in isolation on the islands around St. Kilda and very close to ancient wild sheep. #EastCoastKin #photography #nature #animals

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BokehBirds. To my surprise, I have surprisingly few of those in my library. Here's a Tree Sparrow I saw in April just outside the observation tower I was in. #ECK #photography #nature #animals #birds

On one of the beaches we stayed at, I could watch dozens of surfers doing their thing in the evening. I don't usually photograph people, but making an exception for silhouettes against the orange glow of the sunset. #EastCoastKin #photography #HumansOfBluesky #people

A hare I saw one morning on our campsite near the Jabelscher See 🇩🇪. Perfectly lit by the rising sun. It clearly thought running away from me is less important than nibbling the grass. I love those spoon ears. ❤️ #EastCoastKin #photography #animals #WildlifeWednesday #wildlife

While doing gardening work, suddenly this Swallowtail decided to land right in front of me and was unbothered by me taking a closer look. Got to within 10 cm of it. Truly one of the most stunningly beautiful animals I've seen. #ECK #Stunday #macro #insects #butterflies #bloomscrolling #garden

Helen wants to see #BirdsUpClose today for #BirdOfTheDay. This House Sparrow is probably one of the closest shots I have. Taken at a restaurant table after a session looking for eagles. He was only a few metres away and I still had my tele plus TC mounted. #ECK #photography #birds #animals

A Painted Lady sitting on a flower, enjoying some nectar. Butterflies are fascinating little creatures, but they rarely let me get close enough for a good #macro photo, even with the 200mm lens. This one was the exception, luckily. #ECK #photography #insects #MacroMonday #garden #bloomscrolling

A pair of Guillemots for #SuperSeabirdSunday. Observed at Lundy's North End 🇬🇧. Sadly, this year I was a bit too late for the sea birds, but at least got some good photos. #EastCoastKin #photography #birds #animals #nature #seabirds

My #BestOfTheMonth is prob. the Sand Martins I saw on the Insel Poel 🇩🇪. I just love the faces poking out of the nesting caves and the chaos when it's food time. Ask me tomorrow and I'll give you a different answer. I saw many cool #birds in Aug. #ECK #photography #BirdOfTheDay #nature #animals

A surprisingly good #macro shot of a Wasp Spider in my garden. I actually just held my phone down and couldn't even see the display. My wife discovered it while watering, but not before it also got a little shower. #EastCoastKin #photography #insects #spiders #MacroMonday

I am always fascinated by dragonflies. The colours, the fine lines of their wings, their weird anatomy. They look like actual aliens. This Migrant Hawker was kind enough to pose perfectly still for me to get some truly stunning #macro shots. #EastCoastKin #photography #Stunday #sensoryart #small

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #LittleBrownBirds, decided by I don't know who. There's been so many hosts recently, I'm having a hard time following who sets the theme. 😅 Anyways, here's a Stonechat from my recent outing on Lundy 🇬🇧. #EastCoastKin #photography #birds #ukbirding

A Kestrel hovers in the last sun of the evening, searching for prey, while two smaller birds, I think a Barn Swallow and a Swift have teamed up to distract him or chase him off. He was undeterred, however. A perfect scene for #Flyday. #EastCoastKin #photography #birds #nature #ukbirding
