Pine martens caught on camera playing on children's swingset in Ardnamurchan, Scotland. The owner of the video, Les Humphreys, tells us this is a nightly occurence in his garden.

It’s my first post here and I wanted to share my favourite picture of all time that I’ve taken. It’s a pigeon contemplating existence somewhere in Germany. Took it on our last visit there a few years back.
Super excited to be on this new website and hope to learn all the ropes soon. Super open for any newbie tips and advice.
Last one for #SuperbOwl Sunday. Owls (and other Arctic Predators, avian and mammal) use rises and hummocks to scan for prey, using the same spots year after year. Their waste and remains of prey fertilize the spot and the plants grow taller there than the surrounding tundra. Here a juvenile Snowy peers at me from such a spot. #Nunavut#Arctic#WildlifePhotography#Birding
Went for a walk today, took the macro lens with me for the first time in a while, proceeded to take only semi-macro shots; but it's okay, the light was pretty.
Sandhill Cranes with their newest addition, a Sandhill Crane chick. Parents stand 4.5+ feet tall and this little one, all legs stood about 20 inches tall. The chicks are also known as colts, can you imagine why?
Last weekend, by pure chance (was looking for reed buntings), I got my second¹ proper shot of a kingfisher – and then another one, right when it blinked.
Two fledgling Barred Owls (Strix varia) snuggling together on a branch. A video at the end of the linked post shows the "melodic" song they emit when begging mom to come back for a food delivery.
Tiriaq. A throwback to summer. An Ermine pauses. One of the challenges of photographing these little guys is that they hardly ever seem to stop moving. #photography#WildlifePhotography#Nunavut#Arctic
