Yellow bird with black face and red eye, all puffed out and slightly damp.

Let me start a belated thread of Aotearoa New Zealand silvan birds.

To lead things off, a New Zealand Bellbird photographed on Kapiti Island.

Sunrise at a favored place on this earth. It's quiet and peaceful there. The weight of the world can be lifted away for a short time. I can look for the occasional horseshoe crab that needs rescued. I can feel sand on my bare feet. Everything is different there from day to day, but the same.

I was glad that I had my wellies on for this one. 😅

Stonechat on the left and dartford warbler on the right looking for food on a gorse bush.

These two are often seen together, the stonechat always seems to be on the lookout for the dartford warbler.

Sunbeams shine through beautiful beech and oak woodlands from Oxfordshire, England.

The light this morning was superb. Walking through old woodland with birds chirping, the bluebells & wild garlic shoots poking through, & the incredible smells of the forest waking up just cannot be beaten. It clears negative thoughts & fills me with joy. I hope this photo helps do that for you too.

Reeds in the sunlight.

Just liked the way the reeds are caught in the sunlight.

Through the silhouetted trees of Winter a Crimson sky pushes through the misty waterway as the clouds gently drift above.

An awakening that seeks no need to look back 📷🕊️ …

Bright pink flowers laying on the ground with a blue hyacinth.

The camellia is absolutely covered with blossoms this spring, they even put on a show when they drop.

Sunrise on Glastonbury Tor this morning. A beautiful start to the day.

Trees turn pink in the sun's morning light...

The hillsides are full of morning fog and mist but the promise of blue sky is given a glimpse...🩵💙

I love the way afternoon light seems to make the reed heads glow, but capturing that on photo? I keep trying ... but somehow no #photograph quite matches reality! This is yesterday's attempt at the wonderful @RSPBConwy #NaturePhotography

A Great Grey Owl outstretches her wings wide to slow down. The background is snow covered. Her talons can be seen getting ready to grab the landing post.

The grace and ease with which a Great Grey Owl moves is a sight to behold. Here a Great Grey uses her wings to slow down as she approaches a post to land on. And check out those talons! #wildlife #birds #owls

Early morning at Derwentwater in January. Blue skies with white fluffy clouds reflected in the calm lake. A thin veil of mist is lifting over the lake. The boat moorings are reflected in the water. Soft light and within 15 minutes the whole of the lake was bathed in glorious winter sunshine.

A January morning at Derwentwater, Keswick in the Lake District. Lifting mists over the lake and a lovely calm cold morning. Within 15 minutes the whole lake was bathed in winter sunshine.

For #Stunday. It's my place of refuge. Few know about it. It's a hopeful place for solitude and for solitary figures. Those trees are gone now, they fell into the river. But I have many pictures of them. Enough to last a lifetime.

A shag surfaces.

A Long-tailed Skua is flying right to left over a blue sea.

Skuas don't look their best on their South Atlantic wintering grounds. Long-tailed Skua was the commonest species, like this one off the Argentinian coast in January.
