The lovely people at the Woodland Trust are running a campaign to rescue our forgotten ancient forests located within post-World War II plantations. If you have five minutes to support their efforts 👇

This could be useful if you live in or near #Lowestoft and your ancestors were inbred. Sorry, what? Oh. Sorry about that, I meant if your ancestors were—occupationally speaking—in bread. More about the Lowestoft Group of the #Suffolk #FamilyHistory Society here: suffolkfhs.co.uk/index.php/gr...

Remembering Dad on #Father’sDay. Here he is in his pride and joy, the #garden of our family home which he nurtured for the best part of 50 years. Dad also nurtured my early interest in #nature and #NaturePhotography, so Thank You Dad for encouraging something that became a lifelong joy and passion.

Look who came to see us off as we descended the steps to the boat leaving #Skomer Island on Sunday! A Common #Seal (Phoca vitulina), who seemed to be fascinated by us landlubbers. We of course were delighted to see and photograph this marvellous marine mammal. #Mammals #UKWildlife #Nature 🌿

A female Western Gull was recorded riding 150km in a garbage truck from San Francisco to a compost facility in Central CA, probably to forage. TWICE. An innovator, an icon, a genius. This is one of my favorite @waterbirdsociety.bsky.social papers I've ever handled as managing editor #ornithology

Am I teasing you all by sharing photos of anything but the Puffins I captured on camera while on Skomer Island yesterday? Yes. Yes I am. But not for much longer...

Meet Brendan, the AI-generated abomination who is the polar opposite of charming, and be grateful that, since his testicles are in his unfeasibly long neck, he is not sticking his 'tongue' out. 😬

An absolutely stunning female Grey Phalarope in summer plumage at Loch of Spiggie, Shetland today. Unlike their Red-necked cousins which breed here in small numbers, Greys are extremely rare in spring and thus rarely enjoyed in this incredible plumage. #BirdingScotland #UKbirding #RareBirdsUK #Birds

Crikey, I've never posted an image from The Sun before, but on this occasion.... Have a look at the petition - it's only got 4,127 signatures so far, but come on people of Wales, (& elsewhere), this just can't be right!

There is no greater supporter of the Weedy Pond than the diminutive Wren. A year round & enthusiastic season ticket holder of the facility for feeding, drinking & bathing. #weedypond #wrens #ornithology #nature
