Saw a male bullfinch this morning!!!😍😍😭 Awful photos but I was shaking I was so excited!! Another bird I haven’t seen for years and has suffered a huge decline!
The last few weeks just reconfirms the ABSOLUTE importance of hedgerows! They are vital for wildlife!
#Cornwall
Quite possibly one of THE MOST exquisite birds around! Such incredible plumage! Male bullfinch are absolutely stunning 🤍❄️🫶🪶

The Jay ❄️🪶🤍 Known to be quite shy here in the UK, that’s why when we do see one it’s all the more special! Absolutely gorgeous corvids!

so thought I’d share one of my cubs with you 🦊❤️
Very excited to follow this family into the autumn when they disperse! There are 4 cubs around 7 weeks old (I think!😂) They are perfect! 🦊

After weeks being stuck inside due to being ill then being stuck at my desk trying to catch up with work I finally had a weekend outside! And found my absolute favourites of ALL time! 🦊🦊🦊🥺❤️ Highlight of the year! 🥰

The beautiful kestrel! ❤️ These fantastic birds of prey hover in the air as the hunt for their prey! They can also be seen in towns & cities, road verges & sometimes gardens! Has anyone ever seen one in an urban setting? ❤️

One of our most colourful & striking garden birds! The goldfinch! 🥰 If you want to attract these beauties to your garden feeders make sure one station is filled with Niger seeds - they find it simply irresistible! 🥰✨

Good morning! The magic of light ✨
Taken whilst filming in the Cairngorms a couple of months ago. When the light is right it just takes your breath away! 🌲

I watched this little one for a good half an hour as it picked the most delicious vegetation to eat 🌿 They really are beautiful!

A beautiful goldcrest! ✨ Weighing in at around 5 grams it is the UK’s smallest bird! (Coupled with the firecrest)
They are specialists insects eaters with their tiny thin tweezer like beaks and will forage the conifers for tiny spiders and insects ❤️

A beautiful female kestrel! 🦅❤️
It has taken me SO long to get a photo like this! (full story on my Instagram 🙈) SO pleased!
Kestrels can spot prey from 50 metres away & see ultraviolet which helps them track vole prey by following urine trails! 🤯
Spent some time with a beautiful female kestrel! 🌿❤️ Watched her feed & hang out around the cliffs! Just perfect! Made a short video on Instagram! 👉
One of my favourite birds! ❤️

A Firecrest!! 😍🥺🤍
Our smallest bird in the UK (with the goldcrest) they weigh around the same as a 20p coin! 🥺 Only the second time in my life I’ve seen one! And it was incredible!! ❤️
Full story of excitement below! 🙈😍

Feeling disheartened this morning? Here’s a dipper to brighten your mood! 🥰❤️
The UK’s only aquatic songbird 🐦🎼 Found near fast flowing rivers & streams they dive & swim underwater using their wings to hold position! 🥰

A gorgeous little dunnock! 🥰 These lovely little birds are quite shy and being around the same size as a robin can be tricky to spot as they dart in & out of hedgerows! But are widespread across the UK! Beautiful! ❤️

If I see 1 more single use PPE mask on the beach I’m going to lose it! 😫
PLEASE get a reusable, please!! The world is burning & the oceans are dying! Please get a reusable one today! We mustn’t forget our environment even though we are personally dealing with a lot - please! 🌍
THIS!! 😭 Have people not learnt ANYTHING!!! Please please - the world has just had a chance to breathe, please don’t do this - it’s devastating!
If you see anybody doing this please call them out! This cannot happen!
Oh my god! 🥺😍 Went out on another dawney this morning & look who showed up! A female bullfinch!! 😍❤️🥺
She was very far away but I couldn’t believe it! Saw a male as well!! Ecstatic doesn’t even cut it! So so happy! 😍❤️❤️ First time I’ve seen a female in YEARS!

Our fox cubs are getting bigger! 🦊❤️
The 4 cubs are doing very well, I think the vixen is a super mum! The cubs are getting bolder and are exploring their surroundings even more the past week! A joy to watch 🦊❤️

I still find it TOTALLY shocking that plastic grass even exists in the first place! Should be banned all together! Ecological emergency anyone??! Disgraceful!
Please don't replace turf with plastic grass. It:
🐝 Offers no food and shelter to wildlife
🌱 Has a high carbon footprint - while real grass captures carbon
⚠️ Wears out and ends up in landfill
🐬 Sheds microplastics which wash into rivers & the sea
💦 Worsens flooding
At the den 🦊🦊🐾🐾
The last week I’ve spent every moment possible following this family - needless to say it’s had some ups & downs! 🙈😂 But it’s a total privilege to be able to spend time with them! Absolutely love them! 🦊

NO!! 😰😰What are you doing giving a trophy hunter a platform on your show?!?
Giving this bloody thirsty idiot a place who has killed endangered animals for FUN makes it seem ok! You absolute IDIOTS!!

Autumn is always a busy time for hedgehogs as they begin to look for a place to hibernate and juveniles disperse 🦔
Remember to leave a ‘messy’ wild patch in your garden (leaves, wood) & never light a bonfire before checking! ❤️

Ok...things are pretty awful right now 😖 But you know what still is open...Nature! Whether you’re in Tier 3 or Tier 4 in the UK nature is still open for business and you can still enjoy the trees 🌳🤍 And trees are pretty cool 🌿

Morning! 🥰 Out on another dawney this morning! 🙌 Early mornings really are the best time for wildlife - only thing is that it’s SO busy it’s hard to know where to point the camera! 🙈😂 Captured this lovely goldfinch though! 😍 Hope you all have a fab day!
