🦅Three little kestrels, sitting on a cliff🏔Not bad for a family holiday to Wales! 🦅We thought they might be juveniles, because they’re quite small, and it’s unlikely that you’d find the sitting adults together. 🦅Thanks to @harry.harding.965 for designing my watermark! • • • #bird #birdsofprey #raptor #natureisbeautiful #naturalbeauty #naturephotography #britishwildlife #ukwildlife #uknature #ukbirds #thegower #britishbirds #BBCWildlifePOTD #BBCCountryfileMagPOTD @sundaytimestravel #stbigshot #VitaminN #wildlifefrommywindow #urbannature #ukwildlife #dailydoseofnature #doorstepadventures #doorstepsafari #springwatch #stayhomestaysafe #gardenwildlife #natureathome #nearbynature #conservationoptimism #naturewalk #wales #kestrel (at Rhossili Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRvx4y0Kvlm/?utm_medium=tumblr

🦎Italian wall lizards (Podarcis siculus) on the island of Ischia🏝 🦎I especially liked the way these guys seemed to be ruling their own little kingdom 👑 🦎I think they might be a less common subspecies, but can’t find anything about it online - does anyone know?! • • • #lizard #reptile #lizardsofinstagram #italy #natureisbeautiful #naturalbeauty #naturephotography #italianwildlife #italiannature #travel #BBCWildlifePOTD #BBCCountryfileMagPOTD @sundaytimestravel #stbigshot #conservationoptimism #ischia #mediterranean #holiday #colour #canon #canoneos200d (at Ischia, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM26eK4Aa9R/?igshid=dyj4yqj2pyw4

🦉I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this beautiful barn owl (Tyro Alba) perched on the side of the road! 🦉They’re found throughout most of the UK - keep your eyes peeled at sunset for the best chance to see them 👀 🦉the reason for barn owls’ characteristic heart-shaped face is to collect sounds and direct them to the ear 💚 • • • #owl #barnowl #owls #ukowls #natureisbeautiful #naturalbeauty #naturephotography #britishwildlife #ukwildlife #uknature #britishbees #BBCWildlifePOTD #BBCCountryfileMagPOTD @sundaytimestravel #stbigshot #ukowls #ukwildlife #nearbynature #conservationoptimism #naturewalk #owlsofinstagram #spring #birdofprey (at Gloucestershire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMf1HhcgAyq/?igshid=1dvk9r30zsxk5

🌸A golden-ringed dragonfly💫 🌸Females of this species are the longest dragonflies in the UK! 🌸She is probabaly a female because of her long ovipositer (egg-laying tube at the end of her tail) 🌸Thankyou @itscharlottecrawford for showing me around Scotland🏞 • • • #dragonfly #odonata #dragonflies #ukdragonflies #natureisbeautiful #naturalbeauty #naturephotography #britishwildlife #ukwildlife #uknature #scotland #britishdragonflies #BBCWildlifePOTD #BBCCountryfileMagPOTD #invert_macro @sundaytimestravel #stbigshot #VitaminN #ukwildlife #nearbynature #conservationoptimism #naturewalk #scotland #scottishwildlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CFC3EJiAeRr/?igshid=vqgnorfik9v8

🦅Buzzard vs seagull! • 🦅Perhaps the seagull was protecting its eggs from the buzzard? • 🦅Buzzards mainly eat small mammals, but aren't too fussy! • #bird #birdsofprey #raptor #natureisbeautiful #naturalbeauty #naturephotography #britishwildlife #ukwildlife #uknature #ukbirds #bristol #britishbirds #BBCWildlifePOTD #BBCCountryfileMagPOTD #avongorge @sundaytimestravel #stbigshot #VitaminN #wildlifefrommywindow #urbannature #ukwildlife #dailydoseofnature #doorstepadventures #doorstepsafari #mywildgarden #stayhomestaysafe #gardenwildlife #natureathome #nearbynature #conservationoptimism #naturewalk (at Avon Gorge) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDWW_oTALLT/?igshid=1o59q0jrgjeo3

🌹A dog rose (Rosa Canina) around the Avon gorge. 🌹The gorge is a biological and geological Site of Special Scientific Interest because of the rare animals and plants that live there (though the dog rose is pretty common!) #rose #flower #plant #avongorge #ukplants #bristol #naturalbeauty #naturephotography #ukwildlife #ukcountryside #uknature #BBCWildlifePOTD #BBCCountryfileMagPOTD #stbigshot #VitaminN #wildlifefrommywindow #lockdown #dailydoseofnature #doorstepadventures #doorstepsafari #mywildgarden #natureathome #nearbynature #conservationoptimism #naturewalk (at Avon Gorge Bristol) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCYB8Kkg64H/?igshid=nwau7fuj4t7v

🐛Can anyone help with ID? Suggestions include the winter moth (Operophtera brumata) from @harry.harding.965, and the cabbage looper (Trichoplusia ni) from @antstagram_77. 🐛There are over 2,600 species of moths and butterflies in the UK, many of which are green! 🐛This june, I am taking part in #30dayswild - an initiative to do new wildlife challenges each day.

🦅Check out the prey in the claws of this red kite (Milvus milvus)! 🦅Red kite breeding programmes began in the UK in 1989, when numbers were down to nearly zero - now they are a very common site in Oxfordshire! 🦅This june, I am taking part in #30dayswild - an initiative to do new wildlife challenges each day.

🌻This Green Leaf Weevil (Phyllobius maculicornis) is such a beautiful colour 🤩 🌻They are pretty common in the UK - too common some would argue, because they are pests to some types of orchard trees...! 🌻The flower it's perched on is a type of buttercup (Ranunculus) - very common, but it's so easy to overlook their splendour! 🌻There are over 500 species of in the group that buttercups belong to 😮 👍Thanks again @antstagram_77 for the ID! • • • #insect #macro #macrophotography #natureisbeautiful #naturalbeauty #naturephotography #britishwildlife #ukwildlife #uknature #ukinsects #oxfordshire #britishinsects #BBCWildlifePOTD #BBCCountryfileMagPOTD #invert_macro @sundaytimestravel #stbigshot #VitaminN #wildlifefrommywindow #mywildcity #urbannature #uknature #ukwildlife #dailydoseofnature #doorstepadventures #doorstepsafari #mywildgarden #stayhomestaysafe #gardenwildlife #natureathome #nearbynature #conservationoptimism #naturewalk (at Oxfordshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAVUYhFgZEK/?igshid=5k5ctgucgx0i

🕷I came across this zebra jumping spider (Salticus scenicus) today - it's amazing what you can find on a wall! 🕷Jumping spiders don't build webs, but have very large eyes at the front which help them to locate prey... as you can see in this photo! 👉Make your garden wildlife photos count by uploading them to the free iNaturalist app for #CityNatureChallenge and help put UK nature on the map! #cncuk @festofnature • • • • • • #spider #insect # #naturalbeauty #macro #invert_macro #naturephotography #macrophotography #ukwildlife #ukcountryside #uknature #BBCWildlifePOTD #BBCCountryfileMagPOTD #stbigshot #VitaminN #wildlifefrommywindow #lockdown #thingstodoinlockdown #dailydoseofnature #doorstepadventures #doorstepsafari #mywildgarden #FON20 #stayhomestaysafe #gardenwildlife #natureathome #nearbynature #conservationoptimism #naturewalk https://www.instagram.com/p/B_a4HPHJyRh/?igshid=1g4ms0xxltugl
