Young birds are appearing all over the place.
This fresh-out-of-the-nest fledgling Jackdaw was at #WWTCastleEspie this morning.
It could barely fly a few metres and didn’t have a clue.
Good luck, little one 🤞🏻

Out and about with the #macro lens around the reserve at #WWT #CastleEspie I found this lovely wee #ZebraJumpingSpider on a whitewashed wall.
It seemed to be fascinated by the camera, not frightened at all 🕷️

Quite a few Orange-Tip Butterfly eggs on Cuckoo Flowers.

A #SilverY #moth from the #trap at #WWT #CastleEspie this morning.
The cheap #LED #RingFlash never really cut it for #macro work so I’m experimenting with the big #NEWER #flash and a pop-up #diffuser. Lots of light means more #DepthOfField so less need to use #FocusStacking.
Great for when the subject won’t sit still 👍

Down the hatch.
This lesser black-backed gull made short work of a young moorhen on the Main Lake at #WWTCastleEspie this afternoon.

The light was dreadful but the #UsualSuspects came out to play in the #woodland at #WWT #CastleEspie today: a very vocal #bluetit and a lovely female #bullfinch.
Shot on #canon, rescued in #TopazLabs #DenoiseAI and processed in #AffinityPhoto.
