Just back from an amazing trip to Alaska to see brown bears 🐻
This one charged straight past me, covering around a 100 yards in a matter of seconds, thankfully it was more interested in the salmon ....
Barn owls Gylfie & Dryer have eggs at last 👏
It's taken time to get this owl family started (at one point Gyflie got so frustrated she mounted Dryer) but here at last are the first two precious eggs 🦉🥚🥚
Look out for more on my live nest cameras 🎥👇

Watch the magic as these kingfisher chicks fly for the first time -just listen to the whirr of those brand new wings 🤗
There's just one misshap💦 (see what happens to number four 🤭)
Great news! You might remember that I rebuilt a fox den and set up cameras earlier this year in the hope that a fox family would move in. Well they have and here are the first moments captured by my cameras this morning.
There's tension in the kingfisher nest ⚔
Watch the male recoil when mum turns up to feed the babies - he can't wait to leave. ......

Bomber the tawny owl has a special gift for his owl partner Luna🐀
At this stage in their courtship, this love token is like a pledge and means he will look after her when their eggs are laid🦉💖🦉
Over the years I seem to have become a stoat rehabilitator - as well as a wildlife artist🎨🖌
But that's fine because I have a soft spot for these cute mustelids 😍🐾🐾
Watch the story of my latest rescue, an adorable stoat called Rocket 🚀📽👇
Gylfie the barn owl pops out egg No.2 and her mate Finn is so proud 🦉🥚😍👏
Watch him almost hug her 🤗 (if barn owls could hug I'm sure he would have)

My cameras filmed a goshawk enjoying a dip in the pond at Ash Wood 💦 😯
This is the first time I've ever seen one here & it really is magnificent. Watch it catch a rat 🐀 then toy with it
Goshawks are huge - about four times the size of a sparrowhawk!

Nobody said creating new life was easy.

Who knew kingfisher chicks looked so strange?
These week-old birds hatched in complete darkness & have no feathers and huge eye sockets 👽

GOOD NEWS 📷
Dare I say it..... kestrel Athena is on the mend!
I'm not sure what infection she had, and I guess we will never know - but she seems to have fought it off, with no intervention needed. See for yourself how far she has come over the last 7 days.
Tawny owl Luna has laid a second, precious, egg
🦉🥚🥚& so far she is keeping this clutch close & cosy as the snow falls outside her nest- she doesn't want another loss 😢
You can watch her as she broods my live nest cam

How curious are tawny owlets Solar & Nova about the world outside their nest 🦉🦉🌍?
It won't be long before they venture out! Keep your eye on my live nest cams for their very first flights 👉
These tawny owlets are ready for the world - but before they fly they need ID rings 🦉🦉💍

When dad calls out that dinner's ready....🐦
The kingfisher chicks are huddled so tightly, noisily chirruping for food, they don't notice dad arrive with a stickleback for dinner 🐟
Watch what happens when he lets out a sharp squawk to say it's here 🤣
It wasn't all plain sailing for Mr Kes the single kestrel dad who raised his six chicks alone.
This was one of his more challenging days. It was raining, the wind was howling, and the chicks were mobbing him for food!
