I was unsure whether or not to post this. I struggled massively with the light and just the sheer distance! However, it’s all a learning curve and I think it’s important to show that not every shot goes entirely to plan!
That being said, I’m still fairly happy with this!

Ive been holding on to this one for a little bit waiting to post.
This is a shot that I’ve been chasing for the longest time! I’ve always struggled with how fast the nuthatch is, but finally, in a classic nuthatch pose, I’ve managed to capture this!

This is a shot I’ll be immensely proud of forever.

Let me know what you think!

Female Blackcap enjoying the late-summer brambles. A moment of calm amongst the thorns.

Caught mid-snack, showing that even the simplest scenes hold quiet beauty.

I sat watching this Chiffchaff jump from stem to stem for a good 30 minutes or so and to be honest, I probably could have sat for longer!

Tried more of a light, airy feel to this one. Let me know what you think!!

So, I went out a few nights back in search of a barn owl to check off another bucket list shot. No Barn Owl showed, but I did catch this buzzard! Not a total loss 🙌🏻

Let me know what you think!

There was no way I was walking past this young Canada Goose, resting in the buttercups without snapping a shot. Golden hour doing its thing!
