I’m just an ordinary person. I try to take nice photos of things I think are beautiful, these things tend to be wrapped in feathers but I sometimes see beauty elsewhere!

In my local garden centre - indoors, heard a Robin sing, and hey pesto!

Some nasty looking rain clouds just crept over Norwich (UK, where I live). That in itself is unremarkable, except when you think about how much water is locked up in the rain clouds. Can someone explain how so much water can travel above our heads?

Some birds are just difficult to photograph. Treecreepers have to be the most difficult. 1/250th into a dark shadowed area, trying to capture a swift little bird.

If you found this out, you definitely wouldn’t look at your Aunt in the same way again.

Brown Shrike quite a looker for being “mostly brown.” I don’t think I have posted this pic on Bluesky. Taken in a public park in Udon Thani, Thailand.

#kingfisher probably the same one as yesterday. Decided to surprise me with some hovering! Not quite happy about my settings bit too much motion blur. Will do better in future…

I have never had Pineapple Tart before, but I have had KitKat, for scientific research purposes I am going in. I may be gone for a little while. I shall return

Finally after years of trying I finally got a great photo of a kingfisher! I have 100’s of pics of them sitting still. I am really pleased with these… yes there is more…. #kingfisher

It may not look like much and at the time I was more intent on trying to get a clear shot in focus, but this is the most exotic bird I have photographed yet, a Scarlet-backed Flowerpecker 🥳

New Years Day in my little slice of paradise in Udon Thani, Thailand. Beautiful. Remember that if you treat others the way you would like them to treat you, you’ll be off to a great start.

Is it my imagination or is this Leopard cross-eyed? Happy New Year to all

Like that makes complete sense. Norwich have 100% possession but the momentum swings in Sunderland’s favour… #comeonyouYellows #ncfc #otbc

Coppersmith Barbet gets its name because its call sounds like a coppersmith hammering away. In many ways it is an emblematic sound of Thailand. Check out my Instagram for more of this colourful bird. Instagram.com/tonyhedges2

If you struggle to see the beauty of “our feathered friends” (birds in other words) why not visit my instagram page where showing that beauty is my main aim? www.instagram.com/tonyhedges2

Stayed for one night at a great resort in a place called Phu Par Man (Thailand). Awesome views. The scale of things was out of this world mind blowing. Couldn’t stop staring at the view.

A heck of a lot of photos on Bluesky are composite. Take a nice scene, add a different sky to it, add a full moon and its reflection. Not real. Nice but made up. As a lifelong photographer I shouldn’t approve. Adding elements that weren’t there, it’s bad in its a little dishonest.

Experiments aren’t always successful or indeed tasty! But then I do like Marmite, so swings and roundabouts. Dry crunchy fish with salty overcooked peanuts, what’s not to like?

Coke wins the price war coming in 1 THB cheaper than Pepsi at the Mini Big C down the road. The photo has the subtitle “we ain’t in Kansas no more…” #coke #thailand #thaicoke #tastesthesame

Grab foods, Udon Thani, Thailand. My wife’s very pleased with herself, 2x Pad Krapao Guy delivered = 22 THB (50p). Very tasty too!

Jet lag is a terrible thing, especially if it’s a seven hour difference. I am awake now in Thailand and my watch says 03:36 and my body thinks it’s 20:37…Come on Thai people always going to sleep because it’s “early morning”.

Given a choice between a prosecutor and a prosecuted candidate, America elected the felon. Who’d a think it? When will he be sentenced for his felony convictions?

A long day of travel. Norwich to Heathrow, on to Bangkok Airport then on again to Udon Thani. Always good to see my “in-laws”. Best part of a full day. Jetlagged now.

My father-in-law and I with our “kratong” a Thai tradition of floating your cares/worries/sadness off down the river and assigned to the past. Loi Kratong is a festival I love. Full moon in November.

Coming to my YouTube channel soon, baby grey seals! Perhaps I should put a public health warning on it, “care required, contains extreme cuteness…”

I have a YouTube channel, my name… I’m still learning about editing and video construction but there’s some footage in the can! Went to my local beach, where Grey Seals give birth and got lots of pups. (Cont’d)

If you can’t see the beauty of nature then there has to be something wrong with you. Take time to let it in.

If you can’t see the beauty of a Kingfisher then there is something wrong with you. What is difficult about it is that they can fly and we can’t. I’ll keep going.

Hello Bluesky, refugee from Twitter here, since when did caring about people become a bad thing? #wokeasF
