Wildlife pond up and running just need the plants to get established Second pic is of this beast that's just been attracted by the water. Not sure but think it's a hornet.

Operation pond has begun. With my work being regularly inspected by the local blackbird who looks like he is being well paid. #birds #gardenpond

Final morning's birding and a flock of collared pratincoles dropped onto the marsh. Stunning birds and what a way to end my week on Cyprus. #bird #birding #BirdsSeenIn2025 #birdphotography

In the hotel room this evening when news came in that 3 blue cheeked bee eaters had been seen at Akrotiri. One quick dash later. #birds ##rarebirds #birding ##birdphotography

@dkbphoto.bsky.social do you reckon our Jane's got a pair in her garden?

Here's a few bearded vulture flight shots not previously published. Awesome birds. All taken in the Spanish Pyrenees last year. #birds #raptors

Surely Toby Collyer has to be close to being a regular starter for utd. Top player.

Been very few sightings of waxwings in the UK this winter. So here's a few from last year. Always a good bird to see. #birds #UKbirding #birdphotography

Still going through the photos of last week's White-billed diver. Fantastic bird that gave great views. #birds #UKbirding #rarebirds #birdphotography #sonyA1

Caught up with the White-billed diver at Druridge Country Park this morning. Here's my contribution to the myriad of photos of it on here. #birding #ukbirding #rarebirds

Lawyers for Liz Truss have asked me to stop saying Liz Truss crashed the economy. I only said Liz Truss crashed the economy because Liz Truss did crash the economy. If she wanted me to not say Liz Truss crashed the economy, she shouldn’t have crashed the economy. Please don’t share.

Quote of 25 so far. Roy Keane. Trent? Schoolboy defending. They're talking about Real Madrid. After that he'll be lucky to get Tranmere Rovers. Brilliant. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 #mufc #utd

Finished 2024 with 16 uk lifers now on 393. Also went to Spain for bearded vultures for the first time since 2020, a trip to Ireland for the yellow crowned night heron and first time birding cyprus. Happy new year #birds #ukbirding #rarebirds

Down to Kent this morning for the American Yellow warbler that's turned up there. Six hour wait but it finally showed. Got a couple of record shots in very poor light. #birds #rarebirds #ukbirding #birdphotography

Great Northern Diver at Scarborough Harbour this morning. Spent a couple of hours watching it find plenty to eat. #birds #ukbirding #birdphotography
