Ah #SundayYellow 💛 Its so nice to look through old summer photos when its so windy and rainy outside! #naturephotography #carderbee #bumblebee

Lion Rampart I iz a piece of heraldry Behold how grand I iz Just put me on your shield And other bits of knightly shizz So now you need a horsie And to joust with a big stick To win the hand of some rich tart That you would like to lick #kittyditties

Here's the mountain bumblebee Bombus monticola. Seen at Loch Katrine last summer (resting on litter in case you're wondering about the blue background! 😶). #fridaybees #BeeFriday #macro #macrohour #naturephotography #phonephotography #invertebrates #Trossachs

A large red damselfly for #InsectThursday Wonderful eyes, but pretty glad they're actually quite small things 😄 #macro #naturephotography #phonephotography #MacroHour

A little lunchtime joy today when I was out and about, a flock of around 10 redwings 🙂, every photo out of focus they do not pause for long! #noticingnature #lunchtimebirding #redwings

First bird of the day: a jackdaw - again! I do like them but would be nice to see some others some time 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛ 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🙃 #noticingnature #wildlifeonthedoorstep #birding

#ThickTrunkTuesday

I opened up my photos app and typed yellow things into the search bar. Spent a happy half an hour scrolling through remembering walks, which pots and patches of the garden will hopefully soon be blooming and smiling. Highly recommend 😁 Happy #SundayYellow folks. #naturelovers

Happy #thicktrunktuesday 🌳 photo from January with my adult daughter for scale! Taken in Calderwood, a SSSI in West Lothian. An old and very beautiful wood.
