One of the #family groups of #BrentGeese arriving on #StrangfordLough from the #arctic.
Looks like it’s been a good season - quite a few goslings among the adults ☺️

The #Brent are back!
Thousands of #LightBellied #Brent #geese return to #StrangfordLough from the #arctic each #autumn to swait-out the #winter. It’s always a joy to see them - their chattering is an iconic sound of autumn.
#WWTCastleEspie is the perfect spot to see them.

A #nest full of #young #swallows at #WWTCastleEspie.
It’s a bit late in the season for these guys but hopefully they’ll #fledge before more #autumnal #weather returns.

Another shot from yesterday at #WWTCastleEspie - one of many spider webs draped in droplets of water from the mist.
Surprisingly difficult to capture the atmosphere on camera - truly magical.

A skein of #Greylag #geese coming into land over a #misty #WWTCastleEspie this morning.
#VFR landings are not usually recommended in such #weather conditions but geese are very good pilots 😎

My good deed for the day - releasing a young swallow that got lost indoors.
They’re getting in lots of practice in preparation for their migration to Africa but this one needs more work 😏
It’s a privilege to get this close to a wild bird 😎
It was none the worse for its indoor adventure 👍

Leaves at the top and bottom, flowers in the middle..? 🤔🤷♂️
A specimen of Eucomis autumnalis (Pineapple Lily) in the courtyard at #WWTCastleEspie.

The oddly named pinion-streaked snout moth.
There were several of these #Concorde-shaped #moths in the Heath trap at #WWTCastleEspie this morning.

This #SmallCopper #butterfly was happy to let me get really close so I used the #iPhone to get this shot.

This is why I carry a polarising filter in my camera bag, even for the phone camera.
First shot is without filter, second is with filter - no editing.
Polarising filters work wonders with refracted light.
They can reduce or emphasise reflections and make rainbows more vibrant 🌈😎
