Back lit heron at Wood Lane in ellesmere #heron #heronsofinstagram #britishwaterbirds #ellesmere

Spotted a heron sitting near the woods by the black trap, having a wash and brush up this morning. It had a brief glance for fish in the shallows before flying off down the river. #greyheron #heronsofinstagram #ardeacinerea #waterbirdsofinstagram #britishwaterbirds #britishbirds #britishbirdphotography #britishwildlifephotography #britishwildlife #ukbirds #wildcambridgeshire #studiowithnoname #swnn #stneots

Loads of pics of this young heron about. Has become something of an attraction on the dam. Likes to stalk right up to the pathway in pursuit of a meal. Apparently has no fear of humans: perhaps it was hatched & brought up nearby & is used to people. #greyheronsofinstagram #britishwaterbirds #endcliffeparksheffield #portervalleysheffield #sheffieldparksandcountryside #beautifulsheffield. #leicaq2 #leicasummilux28mmf17asph

My first Heron photo. I saw it first from about 200 metres or so, maybe more (fourth image) and started walking towards it, expecting it to fly off, but it stayed. I got closer still (first image) I expected it to fly off at any moment and wanted to catch the take off, but it stayed so I chanced getting closer still, but - guess what - it flew off (last image)! #heron #greyheron #wadingbirds #seabirds #coast #kentcoast #britishbirdphotography #birdoftheday #britishseabirds #ukseabirds #britishwaterbirdsofinstagram #britishbirds #britishwildlifephotography #britishwildlife #britishwaterbirds #uk_wildlife_images #ukbirds #ukbirdwatching #ukwildlife #ukwildlifeimages #canonphotography #canonwildlifephotography #reculver #kentcoast #sigma60600mmsports

#WingsoftheWeek - A different species each week  #Week7 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸-𝗡𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗯𝗲 - 𝘗𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘴 𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘴 This week's photo is not only a bird that I didn't put on my wishlist, I didn't even know it existed until the #RSPB started sharing pictures of it on social media. A schedule 1 bird in the UK, the Black-Necked Grebe population is doing well in Yorkshire this year at #RSPBStAidens. Although monogamous, they also carry out brood parasitism. The female grebes will often lay some of their eggs in other pairs’ nests. Giving their offspring and genetics another chance if their own nest fails.  They like to think they are comedians, however most resort to just hosting comedy nights because nobody else thinks they are funny. -Warning, not all facts may be 100% accurate- -------- This year, in need of a challenge, I'm attempting to post a photo of a different winged creature every week. The plan is all birds, but I'm giving myself some wiggle room. --------- #BirdsUK #Weekly #Grebe #BlackNeckedGrebe #BritishWaterBirds #Leeds #Eurasian #SongBird #Photography #BirdPhotography Sources:  RSPB - https://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/black-necked-grebe Lyon, Bruce E., and Susanne Everding. “High Frequency of Conspecific Brood Parasitism in a Colonial Waterbird, the Eared Grebe Podiceps Nigricollis.” Journal of Avian Biology, vol. 27, no. 3, 1996, pp. 238–44.

Not the greatest day, overcast and raining sun did made a brief appearance. Did manage to get a load of shots of Cormorants at Weir Wood Res, with them sitting up in the dead trees at eye level. Not everyones favourite bird but very effective at catching fish. They have to dry out there feathers everytime they come out of the water as they are not waterproof. Will be heading back here again in the spring to see if there is any nesting.

Had a meeting last night with the litterpicking crew, so I figured I’d get there early doors and take a few shots in the dusky light. Not much in the area - about a million dragonflies, none of which wants to roost - but this lovely Pen came up to the slip to do her evening ablutions before bed. I’ve so missed patching this past couple of weeks…roll on Monday; the season still has plenty of life left in it! . . . #swanwatch #swanwatchuk #muteswan #muteswans #swanstagram #cygnusolor #britishwaterbirds #waterbirds #waterfowl #britishbirds #birdphotography #summer2023 #summerphotography #britishwildlife #britishwildlifephotography #wildlifephotography #stneots #swnn #studiowithnoname

Onto Friday, when we finally managed to catch up with the Henbrook twins, having a swim with Mama. Sad to know there’s only two left from such an impressive brood, but this robust pair should be pretty safe now, and they look great. They are 50 days old today. . . . #swanwatch #swanwatchuk #muteswan #muteswans #swanstagram #cygnet #cygnets #cygnetsofinstagram #cygnusolor #britishwaterbirds #waterbirds #waterfowl #britishbirds #birdphotography #summer2023 #summerphotography #britishwildlife #britishwildlifephotography #wildlifephotography #stneots #swnn #studiowithnoname

Day 2, and unfortunately the cygnets haven't fared terribly well in their first 24hrs; there appears to be only four of the eight remaining. There's a whole host of reasons this can happen, but the fact there were two super confident little babies trying out their water wings hours after hatching yesterday (mama couldn’t see them over the steep bank and I had to calmly ‘show’ her where they were; she retrieved them, but they soon toddled back down there) makes me think predators is the most likely explanation. There was no sign I could see of bodies anywhere, but I did keep my distance so I may have missed something. I know there are some pretty gnarly pike in their territory. I can only hope a smaller brood helps mama and papa to keep the remaining ones safe. I’ve never known them to lose so many so quickly. What is interesting is: the pictured cob is not mama's usual partner. It would seem that her ageing original mate has departed to the big nest in the sky, and she has 'remarried'. . . . #swanwatch #swanwatchuk #muteswan #muteswans #swanstagram #cygnet #cygnets #cygnetsofinstagram #cygnusolor #britishwaterbirds #waterbirds #waterfowl #britishbirds #birdphotography #nestingseason #spring2023 #springphotography #britishwildlife #britishwildlifephotography #wildlifephotography #stneots #swnn #studiowithnoname

Eight of nine eggs hatched yesterday morning and I was lucky enough to be on site shortly afterwards; eight healthy looking cygnets, at least two of which are extremely confident which mightn’t be a good thing. .

Went to St Ives Country Park to try out the refurbished park. Had an ice cream, played in the stream, fed the ducks then got attacked by this argumentative bastard.

Dale Dyke sits in beautiful surroundings on the western fringes below the Derwent Moors: second down in a chain of 4 dams. Scene of a disaster in March 1864 when the wall of the nearly finished dam breached sending 700 millions gallons of water raging down the steep- sided Loxley Valley thro Lower Bradfield, Little Matlock, Malin Bridge & Hillsborough to the River Don & then on thro Sheffield & Attercliffe towards Rotherham many miles distant. Remarkably only 1 person was killed in the nearest village but altogether over 250 perished not to mention 100’s of livestock. Homes, workplaces and bridges were destroyed. All serene today: the mallards had ten tiny ducklings. Keeping🤞🤞🤞for them. The geese seemed to be shepherding them too. The path round the dam is in excellent shape, wind having dried muddy patches. The western side is bordered by lush rolling pastures “ Where sheep may safely graze”. #daledykereservoir #daledykedisaster #yorkshirewater #bradfieldsheffield #sheffieldslakedistrict #sheffield6. #mallardsofinstagram #britishwaterbirds #cockapoosofinstagram. #sheeppastures #leicaq2 #leicasummilux28mmf17

Oh my…. I got so consumed by that pile of bird bodies ( last post)and keeping up with orders that I realised I haven’t made a post for days/weeks….. worse still I didn’t even take any photos or make any videos….. will try to do better! Anyway, I did manage to some photos of my new and improved flying mallard duck which I am pleased with…..

Quick trudge through the sludge across Malin Bridge to the dam. Snow disappearing as quick as it came. Dam is still half ice. The duck pretends to be snoozing but is keeping a watchful eye. #snowinmarch #rivelindam #rivelinvalleytrail #britishwaterbirds #domesticducks #fujix100v

Yet another brood of Moorhen chicks on the pond in Edinburgh Botanic Gardens. This is the fourth I've counted this year. I had thought they all belonged to one set of parents, but I imagine there must be more. Lots of healthy rushes for them to hide in so it's hard to count. There seem to be just two this time. I should really go out and catch them when the sun isn't shining so glaringly on them, but it's only on sunny days that I think of going to look! #moorhenchicks #moorhens #moorhensofinstagram #britishwaterbirds #rbge #chicks

How’s your morning, friends? The ‘shutting up shop’ method is working well; we’re at 32 degrees, fans are still very low and I’ve barely broken a sweat yet. Obviously I’ll be office bound til Wednesday, so it’s flashbacks for another day or two…this one from 2019, and one of my more successful images of my local Swan family. They’ve given me so much over the years. I shall miss them very much when they eventually stop reproducing. . . . #flashback #memorymonday #swan #swans #cygnet #cygnets #cygnetsofinstagram #swansofinstagram #muteswan #muteswans #cygnusolor #cygnus #waterbirds #waterfowl #britishwaterbirds #britishwaterfowl #britishwildlife #britishwildlifephotography #naturephotography #britishbirds #press #media #swnn #studiowithnoname #stneots
