Happiest outdoors, watching or trying to photograph wildlife. Love exploring new places. If indoors give me a good film or make me laugh. Own photos are ©.

I was greeted by this grim sight when I arrived at Loch Paible today. This lost/discarded fishing net had five dead baby seals entangled in it. It’s so sad that this has had such tragic consequences.

The public needs to see this. Fox hunting is STILL going on in 2024.
And the 2004 Hunting Act is not working against these evil people.
We need a proper ban on hunting, RT if you agree!

Horrific , sadistic cruelty. No other words for it.
RT the hell out of this, expose this sick pastime and show the public fox hunting still goes on in 2024.
I’m looking for help with this Rove Beetle identity. Is it Megalinus glabratus? I’m struggling to find info on aging and gender effects on colour.

It’s that time of year again - tractors all over the land will take to flailing vital food sources in the form of berries along thousands of miles of hedgerows. PLEASE, if you are a landowner or know someone who is, wait until Feb/March & leave nature’s larder for #wildlife 🙏🍒

Look at this post of theirs from a few hours. Seems the right hand doesnt know what the left hand is doing. Planting a green roof & mowing flowers at ground level! Would be worth a direct approach as biodiversity is clearly on their agenda

Middle of the breeding season and the south bank of Catchwater drain has been scalped, destroying Whitethroat & Reed Bunting nests! Why? @EnvAgency @Lincsbirding @LincsWildlife
