I filmed this for #winterwatch with the lovely Hannah what a lovely adventure we had 😍 pine martens are the best!
Highly elusive and very rarely seen, the pine marten is one of the most magical mammals we have in the UK! 🐾❤️
We sent @HannahStitfall to a very special garden in the Cairngorms to see if she could catch a glimpse…and she ended up nose to nose with TWO! 😍

Happy Halloween! Here’s a Halloween special Hannah and I shot for Autumnwatch 😍🎃👻😱thanks to @SurreyWT , @_BTO & @Mammal_Society #Halloween #halloween2021
It turns out it's not just bats emitting sound beyond our human hearing range, there are some truly creepy night-time calls out there and as it's #Halloween we sent out @HannahStitfall to discover what's breaking the not so silent night...👻🎃😱

Great to have our footage shared by #winterwatch Incredibly these barnacle geese migrate from Svalbard each year where a few months ago they would have been flying over polar bears! Svalbard means ‘cold shores’ - they escape the perpetual polar night and plummeting temperature
During the day barnacle geese will often feed in fields before taking off en masse, in spectacular aerial displays to return to their roosting sites for the night. 🐦🤍
Have you ever seen barnacle geese?

Thanks #winterwatch for creating this with my footage 😍 starlings are my favourite bird and I think there must have been 50k starlings that evening on my local reserve they are just so extraordinary when they murmur
Sit back, relax and enjoy this stunningly beautiful starling murmuration. 🥰🐦

I enjoyed filming this little pied wagtail so much, I was on my way to film some crows in the misty morning & there he was slipping & sliding around on a big frozen puddle, I just had to stop & film him instead! Amazing what you can see right on your doorstep Thanks #Winterwatch
Is there anthing better than wagatils on ice? 😂🤍

I watched this delightful song thrush having his breakfast, a favourite meal of smashed snail. They commonly fling snails against stones to break open their shell and eat the juicy contents, yum. Look for them in your garden or when out for a walk. Sound on! #birding #Winterwatch

Monday meditation, sound on! These lovely lapwings were so entertaining to watch and are even more beautiful bathed in the golden evening winter light. They feed on worms & insects in the grass, the farmer let me onto her field so I could film them from the hedgerow @SIBirdClub

First time I've caught a sparrowhawk in our garden! I had about 10 seconds to find my camera and snap this handsome chap who was probably on the look out for some tasty little garden birds often found tweeting and taking shelter in that same hedge! all went very silent...

Winter evening light, the most subtle and calming light of all. #localwalks #lockdown #nature #calm #winterlight #trees #sunset #sunsetphotography

Beautiful sunrises are easier to see during the winter as they are at a more sociable hour! I have found them worth getting up for during lockdown for a positive start the day. #sunrise #lockdownlife #positive #nature #NaturePhotography
