  • Mission Impossible?

    I know that squirrels like to take nuts from peanut feeders, but this one seems attracted to the seed feeder for some reason.   I’m not sure if it was able to get any seed out from the feeder, but the finches in the background don’t look too impressed! #staywild

  • An Epic Thunderstorm

    I admit I really like watching lightning, providing it’s not too close, and have been wanting to try getting some better lightning photos for years! This evening we had a fantastic thunderstorm, where the lightning streaked across the sky for ages, so that meant I had plenty of opportunities to get some photos! These were all…

  • Another day, another bathing blackbird

    I think this is the same female Blackbird, as she sits in the bath like it’s a nest, before splashing the water everywhere   #staywild

  • Huge bird flying over

    It wasn’t the sight I expected when I looked out of the window this morning – I saw what I thought was a seagull and a smaller bird in the distance. What it turned out to be, was a Heron and a seagull even further in the distance than I’d first thought! #staywild
