Wonderful to watch this Water Rail foraging along the banks of the River Chew. Winter is the best season to spot this secretive bird.

A stroll along the River Chew. Birdsong now overlaps in the evening chorus. A Song Thrush serenades them all 🎶🐦‍⬛ Otters and a Beaver have been seen along this stretch of the river. Would be a dream to see either 💙

Did you know that Tawny Owls are less vocal on cloudy nights and when it is raining, but more active on nights when the moon is fuller? 🌕 🌧️ This was discovered from data collected for the BTO Tawny Owl Calling Survey. #Winterwatch #Ornithology #Birds

Heard my first singing Blackbird of 2025. It joined in with the Robins in the dusk chorus. 🎶🎶🐦‍⬛ Welcome back. Your fluting melodic notes filled my heart ❤️ 📷 Roger Wilmshurst

Golden sunset waves at The Cobb in Lyme Regis. I love it here especially in winter. Turnstones, Rock Pipets and wagtails meander along the harbour wall, stopping now and again to look out to sea.

I love midwinter. The warming sun, unfurling daylight, displaying Buzzards, clattering Jackdaws, emerging snowdrops, frosty cheeks, tree silhouettes at sunset, hooting owls, barking foxes, twinkly starry skies, and Orion ✨

Tawny Owls are quiet tonight as the snow falls in #Bath. The trees in my local park look beautiful with their shadowy branches backlit by the snowy sky. I felt like I was the only one there until I could smell a fox sitting under a hedgerow 🤍🦊

Trees in #Bath are decorated with beautiful little birds. I love watching Pied Wagtails gather to roost at dusk in winter. Wishing you a merry festive time 🐦‍⬛ 💚

Lights Out for Birds ✨🐦‍⬛ Artificial light at night kills over a billion migratory birds each year. Light pollution is reversible and we can all make a difference now. Find out more in my article on light pollution and birds in this month’s Birdwatch @birdguides.bsky.social

Tawny Owl Time 🦉🎶 I love walking amongst winter trees looking for owls at dusk. A top tip is to follow their courtship calls then look up. Tawny Owls can make lots of different vocalisations ➡️ soundapproach.co.uk/species/tawn...

Blakiston’s fish owls are so large that, as adults, they don’t really have natural predators. I’m aware of only one case of predation, when a Eurasian lynx surprised one along a riverbank while it was concentrating on the water & watching for fish 1/4 🌍🦉
