Another day and another beautiful robin!

They're daily visitors to the garden, so much so that I'm 99% sure I can recognise them by their song.

Magenta orchids photographed in Kigali, Rwanda. ๐ŸŒบ

Shot with a Nikon D7200 and 105mm macro lens. If you look closely, a tiny ant is sheltering on one of the central buds. A happy accident that makes the image.

My Robin friend Henry. His chicks have hatched, and he is working very hard to feed them, even in the rain. He seemed very relieved when I showed up with some food this evening.

The tree swallows are claiming nesting boxes

I almost missed #WildlifeWednesday so, here is a last minute submission - a cute female mallard resting in a small pond.

Despite being general jerks, and very common, Mallards are actually one of my favourite ducks. The females have that incredibly gorgeous purple flair under their wing that I always love seeing.

A female mallard duck floats on deep blue-grey water with her head tucked into her wing, revealing the intricate pattern of her brown and cream speckled feathers and a flash of iridescent purple-blue on her folded wing. Small ripples radiate outward across the still water around her, and her orange-tipped bill is just visible tucked against her body.

Wow! What a welcome I had on my first post yesterday. Thank you to everyone who liked, commented and followed me. I've done my best to get back to everyone and will be following you back for days. It's left me feeling very welcome, happy and content.

Here's another chaffinch - a male one this time. Not as action-packed as yesterday but one that I think reflects the content feeling I have right now!

Diving into Mastodon a bit like the chaffinch diving off this branch. Hi everyone, I'm John a hobbyist wildlife photographer based in Scotland. I currently upload all of my images to Flickr but I'm wanting somewhere else to share some of them too. Still not quite sure how Mastodon works but hope to view yours and share more of my wildlife and nature photographs.

April 1st really does make you feel like the butt-end of a joke...

When I was in #Africa, what started as a joke ended up making a goofy series images. I named them "The South End of Africa". A play on the fact that I was in #SouthAfrica as well and well. Butts.

Enjoy two of the entries I made.

The rear of an Elephant, squared to the camera. The wrinkled layers of it's skin sag towards the centre creating a v shape pattern.
The rear of a Zebra, perfectly square to the camera. It's tail casts a small shadow while the black stripes of it's coat point inward.

Found a very dozy pair of Wood Mice on the outskirts of Bath today. Picked one up briefly to check for the rarer Yellow-necked Mouse, which has a complete yellow band across the neck. This one only had a small patch, so definitely a Wood Mouse. I returned it to its bed and its friend after examining it.
