A goldcrest busily hunting for food around ivy foliage. I find them so difficult to photograph, as they move around so quickly & don’t stay in one place for long! Walking around Sheffield parks and woodlands, I’ve noticed surprisingly, so many goldcrests! #birdphotography #sheffieldwildlifetrust 🪶

Some wildlife photos from yesterday’s walk in Graves Park, Sheffield. The coots were having some territorial spades, obviously linked to the breeding season! The mallards were putting on a show on the ice and always great to see a goosander. #wildlifephotography #sheffieldwildlife #goosander 🪶

This how I attracted Jays to my old garden. An old oak beam dug into the ground and holes drilled for peanuts. #birds #jays #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #corvids

Seen a bird with a ring? 🤔 Report it via the Euring portal ➡️ https://bit.ly/_euring You can report rings and tags found on live or dead birds. Doing this contributes valuable data to our research, helping researchers determine bird population trends. #Winterwatch #UKBirding

A deeply disappointing government response to @wildjustice.bsky.social’s petition on banning driven grouse shooting, that even cites bullshit stats from the shooting industry Please sign the petition, let’s get it to 100k and force a proper debate: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...
