🌳Happiest when outdoors
- I have no idea what species of fungus these are, but they are beautiful.
- The woods are alive with fungi. #cragside @nationaltrust.org.uk
- I had a wonderful day at #Cragside @nationaltrust.org.uk The Autumn colours were beautiful!
- The fox is a majestic animal. What a treat to be able to see one so close.
- What a bird and what a privilege to be so close!
- Absolutely brilliant views of Alwinton #Northumberland @nlandnp.bsky.social
- Today I found this lovely male four spotted orbweaver. #Northumberland @nlandnp.bsky.social #spiders #arachnids
- I had a brilliant day at Hethpool, @nlandnp.bsky.social yesterday. Beautiful views, butterflies and birds. #northumberland #butterfly #birds #hethpool #nature #wildlife
- I see you. This Roe deer allowed me to get relatively close, close enough to capture its lovely facial markings. @nlandnp.bsky.social #deer #mammal #ukwildlife #nature
- The Noon fly is a very attractive species. Well, if you like flies that is. @flygirlnhm.bsky.social #flies #wildlife #nature
- It's not always about the photo. It's the experience that really matters. Yellow wagtail at Bishop Middleham. @durhambirdclub.bsky.social #birds #wildlife
- I was pleased to see this Golden-bloomed grey longhorn beetle in #Northumberland considering their scarcity in the North East of England. @nlandnp.bsky.social @nnprangers.bsky.social #beetle #nature
- Two banded long horn beetle. For a long horn it has relatively short antenna. #northumberland #beetle #natureUK
- Wow! Look at this for a caterpillar 🤩 Adult Mullein moths are often overlooked but the caterpillars are much easier to spot. @northumberland.bsky.social @nnprangers.bsky.social #moth #nature #wildlife
- Cinnamon Bug. A new species for me. This species has been moving northwards in the UK. I saw this one in #Northumberland @northumberland.bsky.social @nnprangers.bsky.social #30dayswild #bugs
- Wood Anemone. For #30dayswild I had a woodland walk, I appreciated the sounds, sights, and smells.
- I thought I would kick off #30dayswild by going wild swimming in the lovely Breamish Valley, Northumberland.
- I know spiders aren't everyone's 'thing' but you have to admit, the Nursery-web spider is an attractive species. @britishspiders.bsky.social #spiders #wildlife #nature
- My first Orange Ladybird of year. They are lovely little beetles. @ladybirdsanctuary.bsky.social @nnprangers.bsky.social #ladybirds #wildlife #Northumberland
- A wonderful whitethroat. It was a shame it was abit distant but that's wildlife.... @durhambirdclub.bsky.social #birds #ukwildlife #nature
- I had an encounter with this lovely Large Pine Weevil today. Large Pine Weevils feed on living bark. This can damage young trees and prevent them from growing, which is why many regard them as a pest. #insects #nature #weevil ##sonyrx10 #Northumberland
- I sat in a bird hide and got way too distracted by the spider inhabitants. Does this happen to anyone else? I believe this is a Garden Spider (Araneus diadematus) @britishspiders.bsky.social @durhamwildlife.bsky.social #derwentreservoir #spiders #wildlife
- How can you not love a Little Grebe with their 'fluffy' rear end 🤭 @durhambirdclub.bsky.social #bird #wildlife #nature #sonyrx10
