I don't think many of my followers are seeing my posts anymore. ๐
The algorithm doesn't seem to promote photographers like it used to a few years ago..
If you see this tweet, of a Robin dropping from a berry laden branch, please can you let me know in the comments. ๐๐ฆโฅ๏ธ
I'm sad. ๐
I get so many followers saying that they don't see my tweets anymore..๐
Can you please do me a favour?
If you follow me and you see this tweet, can you please retweet it.๐

Dear @elonmusk, you've had your fun with X, we sniggered & played along, but a joke is only funny for a little while before it becomes quite tedious.
Time to return the iconic #TwitterBird to its rightful place. ๐ฅฐ
We love the bird, we love the name 'Twitter'.๐ฆโค๏ธ
Thank you!
If you see this Starling photo, please leave a comment! ๐โฅ๏ธ
Are you a fan of Starlings?
They don't get the amount of love they deserve, in my opinion! ๐๐ฆ๐
I'm actually shaking with anger.. ๐ก๐ก Just popped to my local @asda in Bridgwater, Somerset and found that they put bloody anti-bird netting up.. and look, there's already a dead pigeon caught in it!!! ๐ก๐ก
Not sure if the Gull is caught or not.. TAKE THE BLOODY NETTING DOWN!!
Since I posted this little video last night, it's become my most popular post EVER on Twitter! ๐ฏ
Beating every single bird photo I've ever taken and shared here, in 9 years! 1000s of photos.. & a cute strolling Puffin beats them all.. ๐ ๐ฅฐ๐ฆ
When you go out with your camera without high hopes of a decent photo, spend an hour at RSPB Greylake in Somerset, seeing very little in the way of birds & decide it's time to go home for lunch.... then THIS happens! ๐ฒ
I'm over the moon!! ๐๐

Blue Tit versus Chaffinch! ๐ณ
Thrilled with this shot, one of my best ever! ๐
Mid-air, feet entwined, the Chaffinch still with the seed in its mouth, which it was enjoying before being rudely interrupted by the aggressive little Blue Tit! ๐

Apparently, now Elon is giving accounts with over a million followers free Twitter Blue & verification, whether they want it or not.
This is all very confusing, so have a Blue Tit instead of a blue tick, there's no confusion with these little beauties! ๐๐๐ฆ

Our hearts are broken, we're just off to say a final farewell to one of our family, Charm the Flat Coated Retriever. ๐
She has pyometra & cancer of the liver that has spread to her lungs.. ๐
She was the sweetest, gentlest, craziest dog. We're going to miss her terribly ๐
Going to do a thread of my signed & mounted 10x8 prints, so I can just add new ones to the thread as and when they are available in my shop ๐
If there's any of my pictures you'd like added, please let me know ๐
Here's the link to all the 10x8 prints;

Photographing a Robin today, I glanced across the river and saw this Kingfisher! ๐
Nothing against Robins, which I adore, but the Kingfisher grabbed my cameras attention.... ๐๐
