Steve Swinney Wildlife : The more I look - the more I learn - and the less I know! Living in awe of the wonder of wildlife!

Pleased to be home after 2 weeks away and especially this eve to catchup with a patch Stone Curlew - 2022 will be noted - by far my best patch year so far!

@SwallowBirding @Britnatureguide Brilliant - enjoy and fill your boots Steve

[SWSWildlife @SWSWildlife]

@SimonWood27 Nice light! 🤭😂👍

@SwallowBirding @RSPBTitchwell .... starting to worry that we'll be losing you up there! ... or that you've joined the #SSS's - Spectacled Spectacular Spectacle addicts!

Turned from the bathing bears to witness a Lynx kitten learning paw control. They were ever alert but the Magpies wisely tended towards dropping in on the neighbouring Wolf & Bear enclosure #WildplaceProject #Bristol

Three of my favourites from a visit to #Wildplaceproject #Bristol - Seem's Brown Bear's have been taking #kungfupanda lessons!

@SwallowBirding @BDSdragonflies Thanks Steve

[SWSWildlife @SWSWildlife]

Just a beginner with #Odonata #ID but I think this may be a Female Blue Tail Damselfly - another from the garden this week - Anyone able to confirm the ID? @BDSdragonflies

[SWSWildlife @SWSWildlife]

A deadly game of Hide & Seek for the fly. Last two Dragonfly from my garden breaks this week - Ruddy Darter confirmed by Mr Grimwade himself! 🙂

[SWSWildlife @SWSWildlife]

@SwallowBirding @BDSdragonflies Learning from the best 😉👍

[SWSWildlife @SWSWildlife]

Was delighted to find 2 of these when I shortly after found there were 3 together in our South Essex Garden! Migrant Hawker? All Females? #Odonata @BDSdragonflies

[SWSWildlife @SWSWildlife]

A week based in my study was relieved with momentary #Odonata breaks in the garden - and some fun with the #Lumix pre4K photo option. Perhaps someone can confirm - but I believe this to be a Ruddy Darter? @BDSdragonflies

[SWSWildlife @SWSWildlife]

@ShepherdWells @ESBR_Essex @EssexBirdNews I have a Zoom H4 recorder. I've taken it with headphones to top of a hill and was amazed how much I could hear. I used it when the Hawfinches were arriving over that winter a couple of years back. Was great for subtle flight calls.

One of Three Green-winged Orchids found at East Tilbury yesterday @BBCSpringwatch

It's froggy date night tonight in Linford Essex

I told you @calebswinney that every #Newso #ShootEdit is a wannabe Wildlife Cameraman!

Here’s Larry the Downing Street cat (@Number10cat) catching a pigeon in front of the waiting press this morning...

@ELBF2010 @KentishPlover @NaturalEngland Hope you enjoyed the same afternoon sunshine I did on the North bank ... and perhaps saw the geese I didn't at Bowers! 😉
