More harbingers of spring, the Orange Tip butterfl More harbingers of spring, the Orange Tip butterfly making an appearance in the garden in numbers now and seeing both the male and females. Bit more sun and warmth, bit less wind, and here they are.

Spring in the pond. A couple of amorous newts to h Spring in the pond. A couple of amorous newts to herald in the spring. I love the newts, they are around all year and on sunny days I can spend ages watching them wander around the pond presumably unaware of my interest. I’m fortunate that the water is quite clear and the pond not too deep, though I do have a never ending battle with duckweed. For the technically minded….. Handheld, taken with Z7ii, MC105 2.8 S with a polarising filter. ISO 4000 shutter 1/800 and 3.5 aperture with a generous helping from Topaz Denoise in post processing.. #newt #amphibians #newts #gardenwildlife #wildlifephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotos #macro #macrophotography #macrophoto #macrouk #macroamphibians #macrouk #nikonuk #nature #pondlife #naturettl #inmygardentoday #naturephotography #cornwallwildlifetrust #garden #gardenwildlife #nikon #femalenaturephotographycom #photooftheday #naturelovers #wildlife #wildlifephotography #uknature #ukwildlife⁠ @bbcearth @bbcspringwatch
What else is there to do on a windy lock-in day th What else is there to do on a windy lock-in day then to look back at past exhibitions in less windy and warmer places. This elephant joined us in the river in Botawana, happily for all of us he was undisturbed by our presence and crossed the river in front of us. It is a very different experience being this close to an elephant in the water, small though our boat was it was a great encounter. #mammal #wildlifephotography #wildlife #NatureTTL #naturephotography #femalenaturephotographycom #outdoorphotography #bestnatureshot #wildlifeplanet #amazingphotohunter #discoverwildlife #mastershots #photography #wild #animals #naturelovers #photooftheday #animalsofinstagram #nikon #natgeo #nikond850 #animalsofinstagram #photographer #elephant #botswana #elephantlover #africanelephant #savetheelephants #worthmorealive #iloveelephants #gentlegiants

Camera eye view of a sleeping lion. Despite sittin Camera eye view of a sleeping lion. Despite sitting with him for hours he steadfastly slept on through the late afternoon and a gorgeous sunset. Having waited for the Sun to go down he then sat up , yawned a few times then went back to sleep. Time for us then to get back to camp for a cold beer and leave him to his own devices. Thank you always to our friend, companion for our trip and guide Job Kinyanjui Sunworld Safaris Gabriele Nowak

Hover flies are the helicopters of the insect worl Hover flies are the helicopters of the insect world, often seen hovering in the air, darting a short distance, and then hovering again. They are true flies, but with their natty orange stripes they look like small bees or wasps. Hover flies are nearly as effective as ladybugs and lacewings at controlling aphids combined with being pollinators these little insects are welcome in my garden at any time. #insect #hoverfly #nature #NatureTTL #macro #inmygardentoday #naturephotography #cornwallwildlifetrust #beebombsdorset #femalenaturephotographycom #photooftheday #naturelovers #macrophotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #garden #pollinators #uknature #ukwildlife⁠ #conservation #macro #macrophotography #insectsofinstagram #insectphotography #entomology #bugs
Often overlooked but ever present, i give you the Often overlooked but ever present, i give you the Cranefly. Who knew the Cranefly (Tipulidae) family had so many different species? I didn't until i tried looking this one up to identify it. I think Tipula vernalis but happy to be set straight.

World Lion Day..... celebrating this beautiful but World Lion Day..... celebrating this beautiful but increasingly endangered big cat.⁠ ⁠ There are around 23,000 African lions left in the wild today, and three-quarters of lion populations are in decline. The situation is much, much worse in India where there are only 674 Lions left in the wild.⁠ ⁠ Their population has gone up from 523 in 2015 to 674 in 2020 due to efforts of several leaders and conservationists, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi.⁠ ⁠ This day is an opportunity to celebrate the Lion and raise awareness about its wellbeing and conservation.⁠ ⁠ #mammal #wildlifephotography #wildlife #NatureTTL #naturephotography #femalenaturephotographycom #outdoorphotography #bestnatureshot #wildlifeplanet #amazingphotohunter #discoverwildlife #mastershots #photography #wild #animals #naturelovers #photooftheday #animalsofinstagram #nikon #natgeo #nikond700 #animalsofinstagram #photographer #lion_lovers #lion #worldlionday

Join me on a virtual trip to Kenya, before all our Join me on a virtual trip to Kenya, before all our lives changed we would have been there this week. There are more images on my website blog (link in bio), also links to the project below.⁠ ⁠ Whilst discussing alterations to our travel plans with the Safari company we use in Kenya, we learned that the company who organised the trip then, Sunworld Safaris, and who planned the yet to be taken trip has undertaken an outstanding initiative along with Jami Tarris in order to support the local communities, help protect the wildlife and support their staff. Full details of the project can be found on the website for the Community Wildlife Fund project.⁠ ⁠ Please, please (please.....) check out the CWF website, , read, learn, donate if you can, and definitely spread the word, share the links, support this worthwhile project in any way you can. If you have any questions about the goals and aims of this project read this article 'Covid-19 and Wildlife in Kenya: Crisis and Hope ' by Jami.⁠ ⁠ In this difficult time where everyone is affected in some way by both the impact of the pandemic and the impact of painful and abhorrent events in the US this project is a shining example of how people can work together to help our selves, our communities, our wildlife and our planet.⁠ ⁠ IG: @community_wildlife_fund⁠ FB: @communitywildlifefund⁠ ⁠ #conservation #savelives #wildlife #wildlifephotography #CommunityWildlifeFund #SunworldSafaris #saynotopoaching⁠ #naturettl⁠ #safari #savetourism #africansafaris ⁠ #wildlifephotography #nature #birds #naturephotography #femalenaturephotographycom #naturelovers #travel #birdphotography #nikon #natgeo #kings_birds #your_best_birds #planetbirds #bird_captures #birds_adored #birdsofinstagram #1birdshot #birdsofprey #raptor⁠ ⁠

The Waved Albatross on Espanola Island, Galapagos, there are approximately 30,000 of these magnificent white and brown birds during breeding season.

From my garden to the… Galapagos Islands. I’v From my garden to the… Galapagos Islands. I’ve given the bees the day off as I am processing images for my new website, today it is the turn of the Galapagos Islands and all the amazing wildlife and natural phenomena.⁠ ⁠ The Galapagos Sea Lions were on most of the islands we visited and they are incredibly photogenic and so peaceful to be around. The odd rush and bellowing in defence of territory/harem by the beach master was really the only thing that disturbed the peace. ⁠ ⁠ BTW, the link to the new website is in my bio of you want to visit.⁠ ⁠ #galapagosislands #nikonphotography #sealions #wildlifephotographer⁠ #wildlifephotography #wildlife #nature ⁠ #NatureTTL⁠ #naturephotography #mammal #femalenaturephotographycom⁠ #outdoorphotography #bestnatureshot #wildlifeplanet #amazingphotohunter #discoverwildlife #mastershots#photography #wild #animals #naturelovers #photooftheday #animalsofinstagram #nikon #natgeo⁠ #conservation #discoverwildlife #earthcapture

All being well, the plan is given time and energy, I'll keep adding more new galleries and images as time goes on.
