Home 🏡 Great to see Northern Ireland well represented on this years Winterwatch, here’s some of my favourite images from NI over the past few years! 📸 1/3

The Famous Grouse ☔️ The Famous Grouse of the Antrim Hills lying low, trying to avoid the worst of the wind and rain 🌬️ @UlsterWildlife @Natures_Voice @RSPBNI @_BTO

Peregrine 🦅 This Peregrine was out patrolling the cold, wet and windy Antrim Hills today ⛰️ @nirsg

Backlit 🔦 An in-flight Short Eared Owl from last year, yet to see any this winter but here’s hoping…! 🤞🏼 @UlsterWildlife @Irishwildlife @nirsg

Cormorant 🎣 Cormorant drying out in the winter sun 🌅 @UlsterWildlife @Irishwildlife @RSPBNI @Natures_Voice @_BTO

Inquisitive look 🦉 Short Eared Owl in very low light sussing me out with an inquisitive head tilt 🦉 @nirsg @UlsterWildlife @Irishwildlife @Natures_Voice @RSPBNI @_BTO

Redpoll 🔴 Nice Redpoll from last year amongst a mixed finch flock 👌🏼

Cheese 🧀 When you’re halfway through your breakfast and someone sticks a camera in your face… 🦦 Another unused shot from last year, brilliant to be able to experience these moments 📸 @UlsterWildlife @Irishwildlife @UKOtterTrust

Snowy Owl 🦉 Distant shot of a Short Eared Owl in the snow last year, amazing to think our wildlife can survive in these conditions ⛄️ @nirsg @UlsterWildlife @Irishwildlife

Face to face 🦦 Nice to finally get a half decent image of my favourite native mammal again since last winter - seen Otters in two different locations this year already so hopefully more images to come 🤞🏼 @UlsterWildlife @LoveBallymena @UKOtterTrust

Decent start 📆 Snowy Fox from a walk yesterday evening! When the light in the background looks like the Moon, pretend it is the Moon… 🌖😅 @UlsterWildlife

🏁💥 2025 💥🏁 Another great year for wildlife encounters in 2025, with my favourites being the Short Eared Owl - an absolute privilege to be able to see them in Northern Ireland! Hoping for an even better year next year 🤞🏼 Happy New Year everyone 🍻

💥 2025 💥 Another great year on the wildlife front, some fantastic encounters from many brilliant species along the way! Here’s hoping I’m lucky enough to capture much more in 2026 🤞🏼 Here’s a short clip of some of my favourite encounters in Northern Ireland from this year! 🏡

Work of art 🎨 If Carlsberg did sunsets, they’d probably look like this… One from up in the Antrim hills a few weeks ago, the best sunset I’ve seen in a while - hoping for more like this in 2026 🌅 @LoveBallymena

Aurora Borealis 🌌 Nice to finally get another go at capturing the Aurora last week, not the strongest showing but great to see it dancing again 👌🏼 @LoveBallymena
