  2. Winter Watch is back on telly tomorrow. Yay! ☃️🦅🐦‍⬛🦔🦡

  3. Saturday night before Christmas.
    The wind’s rattling the panes, the dogs are fed, and the Lighthouse is glowing steady against the dark.
    Servers are quiet. Backups are done.
    Chaos paused… briefly.
    If you’re out there scrolling instead of sleeping — you’re among friends.
    We’ll keep the light on. 🎄🕯️

  4. The way kingfishers keep their head still while fishing is incredible!

  5. Vanavond de laatste aflevering van #Winterwatch en dan vannacht om 1uur begint het #schaatsen in Canada. De andere twee dagen is het wel in de avond... Opvallende keuze.

  6. What I love about winter is the heady scent of the loquat blossom wafting in the garden when everything else is sleeping. #Winterwatch

  10. My new #painting is "Badgers beneath". I hope you like it.

    #Badgers don't hibernate, but they do go into a kind of sleepy lethargy enabling them to sleep for days through the worst of the winter weather. Sensible! Here are four badgers, curled up together, safely embraced by the roots of an #oak.

  11. Incidentally, fern gametophytes are easy to grow. They will be found in most warm, damp greenhouses. If you've got ferns growing, they started as a gametophyte.

    I've a potted Polypodium aureus (sporophyte) which is either the original, a clone of, or the offspring of a plant which grew by accident in a pot of bracken. (So it's nearly 40 years old.)

    It produces a lot of spores, and from them grow gametophytes - and thence sporophytes.

  12. I'm watching #WinterWatch. Which generall] I love.

    But Chris Packham's discussion of fern lifecycles was rubbish. Gametophytes are pretty common - you don't need to go to temperature rainforest. There are loads in my garden (which has a sheltered damp spot). In Edinburgh, they're easy to spot along the Water of Leith between Stockbridge and the Dean Bridge.

    Ok, I'm not the target audience - I grew Pteridium gametophytes and sporophytes too when I was doing my PhD, but still.

  13. Luther Cat cannot get enough of #Winterwatch. Furry things and feathered things - this is cat TV at its finest!

  14. Yellowhammer - such a vibrant coloured bird, especially lit up by winter sunshine, when looking for food in the snow.

  15. Mountain Hare - from a stroll up the hills today. It was bitterly cold, but the hares were relaxed and allowed me to get close enough.

    Taken with a Canon R5 and RF100-500mm lens.

    Always lovely to see in the Highlands Of Scotland.

  16. The weekend before Christmas and I really should start with some seasonal photos. But I had the chance to photograph some waxwings recently and I am really happy with the results. So this weekend's photo is of a Waxwing. I hope you like it.

  17. I enjoyed BBC #Winterwatch so much this year. It's a fascinating and beautiful celebration of #wildlife in this country. But this segment is just stunning: 15 minutes of pure #calm, with no commentary or background music.

  18. I have a TV.

    It gets used for videogames, streaming, movies, documentaries, BBC Alba for Gaelic practice, and the occasional sporting event.

    The only show(s) we make sure to not miss though?

    #AutumnWatch
    and of course my favorite, #WinterWatch

    Super excited to see Iolo in Edinburgh. Looking forward to seeing how the filming on The Shore turned out, and learning more about the wildlife in Edinburgh!
