Bramble season!! Picked just over 3kg on walk today used half to make cordial using a @bbcwildlifemagazine recipe; a different recipe for comparison with the other half tomorrow, then there's bramble jelly and blackberry and apple pie this is the life foraging like in my youff 😊
Playing around with the iPhone camera whilst walking the dogs last night as the moon was in a beautiful position ... not done badly with some iPhone editing @amateurphotograph.bsky.social @jessops.bsky.social #wildlife #nightime
Just love how ragged Comma butterflies look - must get macro lens, although I'm often quite pleased with the RF100-500's ability in this area @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social @natureportfolio.nature.com @amateurphotograph.bsky.social #wildlife #canonR6mkii @canonuk.bsky.social #digitalcameramag
Quick shot of a European Hornet (Vespa crabro) ... didn't realise how big they are ... saved this one from drowning in the dogs water bowl so not the best background but hey! #wildlife #wildlifephotography #digitalcameramag

Update: swallow chicks lucksallparkcaravan park ... four looking very bold and nearly ready to fly, the fifth at the back I'm surprised it's lasted this long as it never gets to the front @canonukandie.bsky.social @amateurphotograph.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social #wildlife
Update: Young Swallows under porch of disabled toilet block @ Lucksall Caravan Park ... definitely three larger more demanding and two less well fed #BBCWildlifePOTD @canonukandie.bsky.social @amateurphotograph.bsky.social @jessops.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social #wildlife
Large White butterfly (Pieris brassicae) ... practicing my butterflies with the #canonR6mkii and the RF70-200mm lens ... more practice needed as always #BBCWildlifePOTD @amateurphotograph.bsky.social @jessops.bsky.social @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social @nationaltrust.org.uk #wildlife
Swallow chicks on the toilet block here @lucksallpark ... photos one day apart ... changing rapidly #BBCWildlifePOTD @canonuk @ap_magazine @jessops #digitalcameramag #wildlife #wildlifephotography #thewildden #swallow
Painted lady butterfly (Vanessa cardui) - practicing my butterfly photography and depth of field with the #canonr6mkii and the RF100-500mm ... more practice needed although I like the effect of this DoF #bbcwildlifepotd @canonuk.bsky.social #wildlife #digitalcameramag

Bee-Grabber?? Photographed this yesterday and it's a Ferruginous Bee-Grabber (Sicus ferruginous) - it ambushes Bumblebees in mid air, injects an egg into their abdomen where the developing larva feeds on the internal organs! #insects #digitalcameramag #wildlife @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social

Late evening sun on a Hummingbird Hawk Moth (Macroglossum stellatarum) that was enjoying a meal from the Buddleia on the hedge behind the motorhome, my best capture of this moth so far they are so tricky with that fast wingbeat @savebutterflies.bsky.social #moth #wildlife @worldwildlife.bsky.social
