Thousands of knot take flight and blot out the sky. An unforgettable experience that I just had to share #knot #knotmurmuration #birds #birdwatching #naturelovers #ukwildlife #birdsinflight #wildlifephotography #naturephotography

There are few experiences as breathtaking as the Snettisham Spectacular. On my recent trip, thousands of knot swirled across the sky during high tide. #snettishamspectacular #birdwatching #naturelovers #ukwildlife #knotmurmuration #sunrisemagic #birdsinflight #rspbreserves

The language of love! A pair of northern gannets engage in a beautiful courtship dance. These incredible seabirds are monogamous, often forming lifelong partnerships. Their elaborate rituals help reinforce their connection after long periods apart. #love #pair #courtship #gannet

Just like London buses, you wait for one to come along then three turn up at once. This was exactly what happened with this shot. Flying in perfect formation this squadron of northen gannets filled the frame making for a wonderful image #northerngannet #flying #squadron #birds

A close-up of a beautiful kingfisher. This shot was captured entirely in camera with no editing needed. The striking black background was achieved by using a low-key photography technique which helps keep the shot simple yet atmospheric. #kingfisher #wildlifeart #birdphotography

As a northern gannet comes into land, it spreads its wings wide open to slow itself down. From a distance it almost looks like an angel descending from the sky. #peterclaytonwildlifephotography #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #naturephotography #northerngannet #gannet #bird

My favourite razorbill portrait to date. The soft white defocused circle behind the bird’s head was assisted by a well timed gannet flying past in the distance. I would love to know what you think #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #razorbill #seabird #birdportrait

As the tide began to rise the coast came alive as thousands of knot took to the sky creating an incredible murmuration. Timed perfectly against the rising sun, their sheer numbers blotted out the sunlight creating the illusion of a solar eclipse #snettishamspectacular

The jewel of the riverbank resting amongst a sea of green. this kingfisher sits peacefully in its natural environment at home by the water’s edge #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #birdphotography #kingfisher #wildlife #nature #birdwatching #birdlovers #ukwildlife

Perched high on the rugged rocks of bempton cliffs, thousands of gannets gather in the golden light as the sun begins to rise behind them. If you look closely you will see the next generation of gannets nestled safely with their parents #birdphotography #gannets #seabirds #cliff

A kingfisher perched on the mossy branch. By ensuring the background is clean this limits any unwanted distractions. Some say I have a distinct photography style, judging by this shot, I would agree. These are the kinds of images I always aim to capture whenever possible

I’m back! After an amazing time travelling, I am excited to get back out in the field once more. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and wishing you all happy New Year. Expect Lots of new content coming from me soon! #peterclaytonwildlifephotography

This is my first post in a while so I wanted to keep it simple. As thousands of Knot took to the sky during high tide, I opted for black and white to give this image a more atmospheric feel. #blackandwhite #atmospheric #coastalwildlife #knot #murmuration

The rat race, whether we like it or not, we’re all in it… Some more than others. If today’s your first day back at work, keep going. You’ve got this. Sending positive vibes your way #ratrace #backtowork #worklife #holidaysareover #youcandoit

Back out in the wild with my camera, and these seals never disappoint! Was it Cold? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely. This little one is already shedding its old coat and gearing up for the new year! #sealspotting #sealphotography #naturewatch #winterwildlife #wildlifephotography

I love living in the countryside, I never take for granted how lucky I am to be surrounded by nature and wildlife. This is why it breaks my heart to see so much roadkill in and around the area. Please slow down #countrysidelife #roadkillawareness #respectnature #protectwildlife

Mandarin ducks often seem out of place in the UK, with their strikingly vibrant, exotic plumage. Originally introduced from China many years ago, they are now commonly found on park lakes across the country #mandarinduck #duck #bird #nonnative #uk

A Black-Headed Gull in winter plumage. Did you know that these birds only have the so called black head during the summer months, in winter they take on a completely different look. To some this might seem like a different bird species entirely #blackheadedgull #winterplumage
