Six of the eleven Taiga Bean Geese at Hoppen Kiln Flash in Northumberland on Wednesday. We also saw the American Wigeon at Blagdon Estate but despite good views it was too difficult to photograph. #Birds

Foxy Lady!... An incredible capture, of my beautiful friend, Francesca The Fox (wife of Francois), taking a stroll in the forest. Absolutely gorgeous. She was on her way, to meet up with her husband.

A duller day than Saturday, but a well timed visit to Blyth co-incided with a nice close swim-by of the White-billed Diver.

There is only one option for #birdoftheday theme of my #BestOfTheMonth. (Sorry for so many similar)

I did not get out much in February, but this snowy owl sitting patiently as the sun rose made up for the lost days.

A black & white woodpecker clings to an upright, dried, columnar flower stalk. It is an overcast day; the flower stalks are a dull ochre, the background white with snow. The bird has a black mask, back & bill. The breast feathers and spots on the flight feathers are white.

The Queen Of Camouflage... Late evening. Olivia The Northern Long Eared Owl, surveying her territory. She's slowly preparing for her nightly hunt. A real beauty.

A snowy owl stands on a covered hay bale. It is between night and day as the owl is in the remnants of the dark as the sun rises behind it.

A tawny owl photographed from the ground up as it perches in a tree, looking down at the camera. Photographed between blurred leaves, with the focus on the owl, its black round eyes look deeply at you.

Owl-ways watching. 🦉

This incredible image of a tawny owl was photographed by James Mackinnon, our next #PhotographerTakeover guest joining us on Instagram.

A Common Crane from Cowpen Marsh, Teesside, today. We watched in distantly in a field for a minute before it took off and gave us really close flight views. Thank you to everyone who gave updates on its location.

A mostly white seabird with pink legs and feet and brown feathers through its wings and on its tail and head cap is flying from left to right with its wings and legs spread wide just before setting down in the water.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #BirdsInTheirElement (birds in their natural environment) and the Alt theme is #Seabirds. So here's a Great Shearwater very much in its element.
