Can you spot the Matterhorn? — Fiescheralp, Wallis, Switzerland 🇨🇭

It is there, just barely — the iconic pyramid summit half-swallowed by cloud in the distance, behind layer upon layer of receding alpine ridges. The chalets in the foreground, the haze, the dramatic sky — monochrome magic.

The Great Aletsch Glacier from Eggishorn, Wallis, Switzerland 🇨🇭

Europe’s longest glacier, stretching 23km through the heart of the Swiss Alps — and in monochrome, those parallel medial moraines read like brushstrokes on a canvas. The dark lines are not shadows but bands of rock debris carried down from the surrounding peaks, merging as tributary glaciers join the main flow. A UNESCO World Heritage site, and a landscape that puts everything in perspective — including the fact that this glacier has lost over 3km in length since the mid-19th century.

Visiting my daughter at her camp in the Binntal — the Binna river runs right next to the campsite at Fäld.

The Binna threading through glacier-worn boulders, captured with a long exposure on the iPhone. Monochrome felt like the only right choice — it strips away everything except light, water and rock. One of Switzerland’s quieter alpine valleys, and one of its most beautiful.

Taking a break from birds — meet the newest addition to the household. 🦖

My wife and son recently completed a ROKR mechanical velociraptor model kit, and this morning’s light through the window created an unexpected shadow theatre on the wall. A velociraptor stalking past a camper van — if that composition looks familiar, it should. Jurassic Park vibes entirely unintentional. Mostly.

Even the wildlife photographer has to admit: this one came out looking pretty convincing.

Blue Moon rising over Haute-Pointé, French Alps 🇫🇷 — photographed from Nyon, Switzerland 🇨🇭

The second full moon of May 2026 — a Blue Moon — rising over the snow-capped peak of Haute-Pointé in the French Alps, seen across Lake Geneva from the ramparts of Château de Nyon. No tripod, no camera — just an iPhone balanced along a 12th century castle wall. Sometimes the moment doesn’t wait for the right gear.

The orange colour of a rising full moon is caused by the same atmospheric scattering that produces red sunsets — moonlight travelling through a thicker slice of atmosphere near the horizon, scattering the shorter blue wavelengths and leaving the warm orange tones behind.

Weekend in Nyon, Canton Vaud, Switzerland 🇨🇭

Château de Nyon with Mont Blanc keeping watch on the horizon. The castle dates back to the 12th century, built on the site of a Roman settlement overlooking Lake Geneva — one of the most historically layered views in Switzerland. On a clear day the Alps reveal themselves across the water, and today they delivered.

Nature, red in tooth and claw — Black-headed Gull colony under attack at Neeracherried, Switzerland 🇨🇭

A Yellow-legged Gull invaded this nesting colony and took two chicks. This frame captures the second chick being taken — look closely at the bottom left and two more tiny, frightened chicks can be seen cowering in the vegetation as chaos erupts above them. The colony erupts in a frantic mob response, adults screaming and diving from all directions. Moments later the intruder flew off with the chick, pursued by the entire colony. Difficult to watch, but this is what unfiltered wildlife observation looks like.

Skimming the surface — female Common Pochard taking off from Lake Zurich at Halbinsel Au, Switzerland 🇨🇭

That warm chestnut-brown head, pale face and grey-brown body are the key field marks of the female Pochard — far more understated than the male’s striking russet head and grey flanks, but no less elegant in flight. The Common Pochard is a diving duck, spending much of its time underwater — which makes a clean take-off shot like this a brief and rewarding opportunity.

Auffahrt weekend getaway — Lavertezzo, Valle Verzasca, Ticino, Switzerland 🇨🇭

Swapped the 150–400mm for the iPhone. The Verzasca valley is one of Ticino’s most spectacular corners — that impossibly turquoise river, the ancient stone church, the boulder-strewn riverbed and the intensely green hillside all within one frame. A perfect place to switch off for a long weekend.

A brief sun window — and this appeared. Great Crested Grebe (Podiceps cristatus) in full breeding plumage at Geissen, Wädenswil, Switzerland 🇨🇭
The Great Crested Grebe in breeding dress is one of the most ornate waterbirds in Europe — that dramatic black double crest, rich chestnut and black tippet, and vivid red eye combine to make it almost impossible to believe this is a common resident of Swiss lakes. The elaborate head plumage is used in one of the most choreographed courtship displays in the bird world, involving mirror-image head shaking, diving and the famous w**d ceremony. This individual was in no hurry, which helped. .cameras
