What a great place Aldeburgh is for birds! Curlew, Meadow Pipits, Godwits and dinky Lapwing chicks to name a few seen during my brief visit. So many friendly birders there too, must come back with more time. BTO Suffolk Suffolk Bird Group #alderburgh

One of our favourite walks, a circular around Leith Hill. Came across a family of Blackcaps, didn't have the big lens but here's a juvenile. SurreyBirdClubNews

We unintentionally pushed this male Kingfisher along part of the Wey and Arun Canal as we enjoyed a walk eastwards from Loxwood yesterday. The low water level was a bit of a shock when we first arrived. Sussex Wildlife Trust πŸ¦” Wey & Arun Canal Trust

Briefly up at 4am (quick visit) and looked outside to a crystal-clear night sky. Had to take a couple of snaps then back to bed before getting too cold. The Moon looked great but without it the sky would have been stunning! BBC Sky at Night Magazine #nightsky

An assortment of Fungi seen while walking along the Downs Link. Is that another Fungus growing ontop of another in one of the shots? #MushroomMonday #fungi
