Close encounters with the local hares in the #Lavenham Fields. #wildlifephotography #coffeechain #grownostr

Hunkering down along the Wash on the East Coast, in the company of Avocets. #ukbirding #wildlifephotography #nostr

Encounters on the Benbecula shoreline. The bond of mother & cub remains close for about a year. She raises the cubs alone, teaching them how to survive in freshwater & coastal environments. #wildlifephotography #nostr #zapstr

One of the few sightings of a Short Eared Owl on North Uist. Unusual, but it's been a very wet winter on the isles, and likely this has hit the vole population, (their natural prey). #wildlifephotography #PhotographersOfNostr #grownostr

The first rays of the suns linger low over the lake in the mist, framing this Great Crested Grebe & her chick. Metering for the frame, underexposing 2 x stops. Thought it had a nice feel about it. #wildlife #birds #photography

Just sitting, and waiting along the margins this morning during the twilight hour. #wildlifephotography #nature #grownostr

A moment in time. A great crested grebe takes to flight. #photography #nature #grownostr

Courting grebes around 5am this morning down by the local lake. I love this time of the day, when the light is so soft & diffused. All is still and all you can hear is a theatre of sound from the local wildlife. #photography #wildlife #grownostr

A wider perspective of this family affair. A female grebe shepherds her chicks during the twilight hour. #ukwildlife #birds #photography #zapd

typically work from a low perspective, close to ground or water level. Lowering yourself to your subject’s eye line can often transform the way an image feels, creating a sense of intimacy & connection. #birds #photography #wildlife
