@nature_michelle lovely shot.

It’s so good to have the butterflies back 💛 This small Cabbage White has been a regular visitor in my garden this week, enjoying the wallflowers and the sunshine ☀️🦋🌼

Kestrel at Hall Place, Bexley today.

@nature_michelle Well done, they're beauties :)

Happy Tuesday! A trip to the Kent Coast yesterday gave me an opportunity to photograph a Sanderling for the first time, a winter visitor to the UK. They are a cute bundle of energy 🤍

@nature_michelle Beautiful Michelle. which park?

Happy Monday! An unexpected surprise at the park yesterday by this Sparrowhawk! I saw all the pigeons scatter and wondered why, then saw this beauty sitting high in the tree above me 😍🤎

Red Squirrel.

Repoll at Bough Beech.

Four favourites from 2025.

@mike_r_edwards Not sure it's seen regularly. Only reported twice recently. I saw it in front of hide but it could be anywhere.

@TimBall02367363 Nice Tim! My usual question! Whereabouts is it seen typically? I don't know Hall Place at all well. Thanks so much

The Hall Place Water Rail this morning.

a fruitless visit to Joydens Wood today so here's one I made earlier. Nice to see Michelle & Co.

@mike_r_edwards They've not been seen for over a week. They were by the picnic area which is clearly sign posted. Park in Summerhouse Drive and follow path into woods. PM me on facebook and I'll send a map.

@TimBall02367363 Hi Tim. Hope you're keeping well. Any idea if the crossbills are still at Joyden's wood? Also I've never been there before: any instructions on roughly where they might be? Any other good birds a possibility there?

@stormcabbirds ''That lens was this long''.

Fieldfare. I feel this one needs a caption, but can't think of a good enough one. Anyone have a suggestion?

Fieldfare on Sheppey today. Thanks to stormcabbirds for the heads up.

@nature_michelle have you been to Whip Ma Whop Ma Gate? Look it up.

A lovely evening in #York, here for a few days to visit the Christmas markets! My first time here, what a beautiful city! This is York Minster in full song tonight (volume up!) 💒🔔

@ChrisRoseBxWild Cheers Chris. My pleasure.

@TimBall02367363 Thanks Tim. Done. Nice pic. In theory gets it in front of almost 1,900 people. I've put in a link to your X feed as well. Yours, Chris.

Goosander at Foots Cray Meadows today.
