Just home and this beauty greeted me at the front door… Jersey Tiger Moth I believe ?!
@markbirdingpinoso.bsky.social hello mark friends have these , what they think are spiders nests .. any ideas … thank you 🙏
Someone saw a red bellied woodpecker (I can’t find the post again) but what a bird !
@shetlandtours.bsky.social Thanks for a great trip to Noss .. a couple of photos …
Back from boat trip to Noss , no whales sadly but amazing close encounters with Gannets oh and Skuas !
Pre boat trip breakfast before catching Whalsay ferry to mainland then boat trip to Noss , #Shetland … excitement levels are off the scale @shetlandwildlife.bsky.social
It was a SNAP here Hannah as two starlings searched the garden for sustenance … I’m now watching gannets from the kitchen window … think we’ve found paradise #shetland
Shot through a rain soaked window this blackbird has found a rare tree in Shetland from which to sing its heart out !
A road lined with trees , ‘so what ‘ you say ? Yes but this is #Shetland , trees are scarce here … oh also the 24/7 cake fridge with honesty box opposite what looks like a hotspot for otters where fresh water meets salt … cake /otters I will return
