Dazzling bit of #rainbow this evening after a day of showers in Shropshire 🌈 #stormhour #loveukweather

Finally managed to find an arrival from the recent easterlies... smart 2cy male #CaspianGull at Novartis Ings this morning #humberbirds #lovegulls

First storm of the day had it all: #thunder #lightning #hail as it came up the Stretton valley and off over the Wrekin Shropshire Weather #stormhour

Found even more today! 40 Bee Orchids on a NE Lincs drain bank that the mowers forgot 🐝😃🐝

Found some more Bee Orchids today, in a diverse arable headland. Smiles all round 🐝😃🐝

Couple of delicious splashes of pink in Lincolnshire's arable margins today: Bee and Southern Marsh Orchids 💖

Lapwings woz ere 👣 Great to see that two pairs had reared young to flying today in a scruffy field by a dual carriageway intersection, as the wet bits dwindled to a few tractor ruts

So many colours! Can't help but keep looking back at photos from Friday 10th May, when the #aurora across the southern horizon exceeded the best nights we've had gazing north 🤯

First visit of the season to the Shrewsbury gullery this morning where despite some roof removal, a remarkable 33 LBBG nests and 2 Herrings 🤞 #urbangulls #seabirdscount

If you'd like to relive the amazing display of 10th May, my film of my dusk 'til dawn aurora experience, shot at the beautiful Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory just outside Cambridge, is out now on my YT channel. ✨🎥

Some good bolts and rumbles from this afternoon's #thunder storms over the garden Shropshire Weather #thunder #lightning ⚡️ #stormhour

When a quarter of the catch is Poplar Hawks 😁 #mothsmatter #hawkmoths

This morning's spotty sun phonescoped through the clouds 😎 #sunspots

A good for the small stuff in the garden at #salopobs : Small Yellow Underwing, two lawn-munching leverets, lots of spiderlings, and a Ruby-tailed Wasp at the bee hotel

It's branching day! Looked out on this beautiful sunny morning to see the Tawny owlet catching a few rays ❤️😎❤️

Something from the weekend: #nocmig Pied Fly over #salopobs 💥 (unless anyone disagrees!) 🎙👂

Our first two Nightjar of the season were caught on Friday on Cannock Chase under the Aurora borealis. Both male birds which have white spots to wings and tail. Hopefully it will be a good year for the birds, but flying insect numbers seem really low at the moment, except midges!

PINK PANO😳
I did attempt a few panos this morning, it wasn’t easy with how huge the storm was. Alix, Alberta. #Aurora #TeamTanner ᴛʀᴇᴇ ᴛᴀɴɴᴇʀ Dr. Tamitha Skov James Rowley-Hill Scott Rock Girls Who Chase Tom Lowe

Moonset last night as the epic #aurora 'faded away' 😳 and a couple of Arctic-bound Whimbrel called from the darkness. Just wondrous 😍 #timelesswonder #migration #nocmig
