Nearly a week on Bluesky. Certainly a refreshing change from the last few years on X. Looking forward to sharing lots more wildlife over the coming months and years. #OurWorldIsWorthSaving
New to Bluesky today. Here for wildlife and the environment. A few photos taken in Cyprus earlier this year to get me started. Lesser Fiery Copper, Laughing Dove, Kestrel & Lang's Short-tailed Blue. www.britishnatureguide.com

Peacock and Small Tortoiseshell enjoying the warm sunny weather today in Cheshire. On a short walk from home I saw at least six Peacocks, four Small Tortoiseshells, two Commas and a Brimstone. #OurWorldIsWorthSaving

What a peerlessly fabulous bird is the Peewit. Seems too good to be true that they still breed here.

Glossy, fresh Beech leaves in the brisk #Norfolk breeze, still from the East.
Horse Chestnut candles almost good to go.
Bugloss, the more subdued spring equivalent of that joy of late summer, Vipers Bugloss.
