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

Wandering Green@wanderingreen· 6d

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 longhorn moth sits on a leaf. The long antenna that give it the name are juat out of focus but a good 5x it's own body length.

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

A bright green shieldbug nymph clings to a grass head. The red eyes and head are in sharp focus. Everything else is a smooth bokeh.
They're called sheildbugs in the UK but stinkbugs in the US. They can be stinky if you're too rough with them. As always, gently does it.

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

The 900year old ruins of Fountains Abbey in North Yorkshire. The tower and arch window can be seen to the right of the trees hanging over the river.

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

Wandering Green@wanderingreen· 13d

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

A beefly hovering. Its wings are a blur. Its legs held out clumsily. Its long proboscis (tongue) ready for probing into lovey nectar.

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

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

A monochrome photo of the North Eastern Railway (NER) Snow Plough, model No. DE900566, built in 1891. I love the symmetry

A colour photo of the North Eastern Railway (NER) Snow Plough, model No. DE900566, built in 1891. The wood is a lovely nut brown.

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

A cricket match plays in a dale in North Yorkshire. Above the fence many people in their bright cricket whites play infront of the pavilion.

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

A veteran oak tree sits on a cliff edge. Its tangle of roots gripping over a huge lump of bedrock. The sun peeps behind the branches and the leaves of a nearby Alder dot the upper part of the picture.

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 👙

A bright and sunny forground gives a false sense of security as the weather in the distance darkens. Soon it was on me and I got soaked through to my underwear
