My group didn't turn up today at Robin Hoods Bay, so I went rock pooling on my own 😆🦀 Made a cool little video... #rockpools #northyorkshirecoast #robinhoodsbay #crabs #fish #wildlife

The amazing effect of the solar eclipse on the shadows. Thousands of little crescents 🌙 #light #eclipse #magical

Did we all manage to see the solar eclipse today? I managed a short time-lapse. I've edited out the mad occasional camera wobble, and the cloudy bits... #solareclipse

#tuftytuesday brings you this very tufty longhorn moth. #moth Such a cuddly lil guy... #longhorn #macro #moff

A Green sheildbug nymph (not quite an adult - like me). I thought this was very similar to me. Green, juvenile, clinging on for dear life, nymph(ish). Oh! And gives off an interesting odour if you get too rough... Suitable for #macromonday I hope... #macro #invertebrate #sheildbug #stinkbug #selfie

It doesn't matter how many times I visit. I will always take this photo of Fountains Abbey. It's always different. Different weather, foliage, clouds time of day etc etc... a good view is always a good view. #fountainsabbey #history #nationaltrust #britain

I always want to share pictures of pretty butterflies but then I find cool beetles. Here's an uncomfortablely close photo of a sailor beetle for you. Such a handsome little beastie... #beetle #macro #handsomechap

This rather small leaf beetle looks very impressive with a close up view. Jewels of the natural world... #green #beetle #macro #leafbeetle #lifeintheundergrowth

I caught these Robber flies in a rather private moment... #publicactsofindecency #flies #macro #flysex

A few nights away in beautiful Cumbria, spying mountains in Scotland. Good for the soul... #landscape #mindfulness #countryside

A beefly buzzing around the flowers. These kleptoparasites lay their eggs in the nests of bees. They essentially 'throw' their eggs through the tiny nest entrance in the hope that a few make it in and grow with the bee grubs. Isn't nature absolutely fascinating!? #bee #fly #beefly #macro #nature

Happy #SunnySunday from Barcelona! A shameless #selfie from sunny Spain 🇪🇸 🌞💚 #holiday

Not that I'm wishing away the summer at all... I love the light nights. But I also can't wait to bathe under a sea of stars again.... ✨️ #astronomy #astrophotography #darkskies

I thought I'd share a video I made of me at work. It was a staff conference & I put this little clip of shorts together. Listen with audio 🔊 too because it's a really lovely song. I'm not a pro. filmographer so please don't look too deeply into the editing 😄💚 #lovewhereyouwork #britishcountryside

A .303 from WWII fired by a Bren light machinegun. Amazing little find from the moorland....

My attempt at creativity down on Saltburn beach, North Yorkshire. I was born here, my soul remains... #rockart #beachart #pier #cliff #seaside #yorkshire #soulful #sandypants

Just on the edge of a big storm yesterday afternoon. I was hoping it was going to pass infront but it came over the top of us and left clear skies. How disappointing 😄⛈️💚 #storm #thunder #weather #summer #timelapse

My final accent of Roseberry Topping. After 4 weeks, over 200 school pupils and around 20 ticks sucking me, this aspect of the project is finally completed 🥵⛰️💚 #mountaineers #outdooreducation #countryside

When the leaves are finally out they look lush. Lime trees (Lindon if you're from across the pond), on the monks walk at Gisborough priory #trees #woodland #green #lush #spring #limetree #dendrophile

Happy pride month everyone! Keep the world a colourful and united place 💕🌈🏳️‍🌈 #pride #pridemonth #transrights #lgbtqi

This railway snow plough from the 1800's was a nice thing to behold... #railnerd #trainspotting #oldrelic #snowplough #freefriday

View from the track. The 1st zoom in is Captain Cooks monument. A huge monolith to the locally born explorer. The 2nd zoom in is the back of Roseberry Topping. A big hill. The 3rd zoom in is the back of high cliff nab. A big chunk of rock...

A quintessentially British scene. Cricket in North Yorkshire... peaceful life... #countrylife #cricket #yorkshire

Aaarrgh I missed #thicktrunkthursday heck! This amazing veteran #oak is perched on a cliff edge above a river. The #girth of its #thicktrunk is incredible 🤯 #tree #cliff #wildnature

Total gridlock on the way home. North Yorkshire traffic problems... #sheep #moorland #singletrack #traffic #gridlock

What a difference a few minutes makes. Warm sunny day, moments later I was drenched. So wet even my underwear was soggy... 😆 #weather #northyorkshire #wetknickers 👙

Happy friday blueskiers!! So sorry I've not been right active lately. Lots on so will just post when I can. Had an awsome wander this week, bluebells, butterflies and high hills... #butterfly #bluebells #nature #natureconnection

Evenings you don't want to end 😌🌄💚 #sunset #forest #nature
