The red grouse had it in for me yesterday, first I head one calling behind me, turned round and hit myself in the head with a branch, then I was trying to sneak up on another caught my foot in a bramble and ended up flat on my face #birdphotography #naturephotography

The other day I was out in the Peak District looking for curlews when this cuckoo flew overhead #birdphotography #naturephotography #birds

Some early morning mist earlier today, I was hoping the grebes might have a little dance for me, but they were having a lie in. However this swan looked rather majestic #birdphotography #naturephotography #wildlifephotography

I was watching a couple of sparrows chasing flies at sunset, this one looks like they were using a trampoline #birdphotography #naturephotography

The first set of cygnets I've seen this year, taken early Sunday morning #birdphotography #naturephotography #wildlife #spring

This mallard was confused by my camouflage jacket and decided to salute me 🙂 #birdphotography #naturephotography #wildlifephotography

Mallard checking out my photography the other day #birdphotography

I was watching a pair of treecreepers building a nest last week behind some bark on an old dead tree. When I went back, the bark had been completely removed, hopefully they have found somewhere a bit better #birdphotography #naturephotography #wildlifephotography

I was so excited to see hares on Wednesday I went back to the same location Thursday in time for dawn, and with a bag hide. After several hours I hadn't seen a thing, on the way back to the car I spotted this one bounding down the path #wildlifephotography #naturephotography

Spotted this morning, making kestrel babies (hopefully) #birdphotography #naturephotography #wildlifephotography

@shaneyoda82 Thank you, I was very surprised that it came so close, just stared at me for a couple of seconds before bounding off.

@G09Paul That’s a beautiful shot Paul.

The closest I've ever been to a hare, I spotted a few in the distance so I sat down where I'd seen them, after half an hour this one came to check me out #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #hare

I've been unsuccessfully looking for dippers this year, but I did spot this pair of grey wagtails yesterday #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #birds

I went back to Three Shires Head yesterday morning. I spotted this sheep grazing, then a mallard came over to pose for me as well #landscape #PeakDistrict #NatureScenery

Another sign that love is in the air, the local swan is busy chasing the geese #birdphotography #naturephotography #wildlifephotography

Coot making a splash #birdphotography #birds

It's been a while since I posted on here, but I managed to get out and about last week. Nice to see spring starting to bloom and my local grebes renewing their bonds #NaturePhotography #birdphotography #wildlifephotography

It was so nice to see the sun yesterday, I'd almost forgotten what it looked like. #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #nature
