We're experiencing a heatwave here the UK. Sadly, Henry and Celandine lost their nest yesterday, and they have parted. Henry is still around and coping as well as he can in the heat - staying hydrated, keeping his beak open to let the heat out, and sunbathing to get rid of parasites. The rest of the time he's in the shade, often preening. Soon he'll be moulting.

Check out those whiskers! This little harbour seal was picked up by my team in October. Found on a beach with a life threatening condition (mouth rot), he was uplifted and taken to a sanctuary for rehabilitation.

He has a special place in my heart as this was my first rescue. 10/10 perfect gentleman, didn't fight/bite me!

He was recently released into the wild, and is out there somewhere living his best life 🦭

According to iNaturalist, this is a specimen of ***Catacanthus punctus***. And according to what I can find out, it is a type of Shield Bug. Visitor to our campsite in Cooktown, Far North Queensland. Absolutely incredible colours. Went on its way unharmed, after kindly hanging around to be photographed.
Photo taken with Pixel 10 Pro. Cropped slightly, but not enhanced. #insects #nature #photography #wildlife #bugs #australia #macro #invertebrates

‘Little Blue Tit on a Branch’ is a portrait-format watercolor painting hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A little blue tit sits on a thin branch, looking to the right. Its blue and yellow plumage is reflected in the soft green tones of the abstract background.
Blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus) are welcome visitors to the bird feeder and in my garden. I love watching them and they are always a welcome subject for new paintings.

NEWLY PUBLISHED BOOK TO READ

My latest book - THE WILD - takes the view that "anarchy", often extrapolated in and through the historical, socially-derived politics of anarchism, should instead be characterized on a naturalistic and queer basis as "the wild" (in much the same way as Kropotkin observed nature and came up with the principle of "mutual aid" in fact).

Through thirteen chapters this idea is then teased out, explained and extrapolated as something both ethical and political that is contrary to patriarchal, capitalist, industrial and technological human civilization as it has developed.

As such, this book is both a call to the wild (and to the truth and reality of the wild) and to the assertion that in feralness there is an authenticity of the mutual co-existence of all things to be found.

The book can be downloaded FOR FREE from the link below in multiple formats or read online. It can also be read to you via text to speech on that page.

This painting is part of my mini-series of three paintings - Sparrow Meeting One, Two and Three. Each of these paintings shows a female sparrow sitting on a branch. Each of these pictures can be hung on its own. However, the three paintings can also be perfectly combined to form a triptych and hung together on a wall for a joint sparrow meeting.

Canada built 44 bridges and tunnels across a single stretch of highway so that animals could cross without dying, and collisions with wildlife there have fallen by more than 80%, with grizzly mothers now teaching their cubs to use the crossings like a route the family has always known

I am a quiet and calm wildlife photographer. I move slowly. I pause often. I feel, smell and listen to nature around me. Sometimes wildlife gets close because they trust me or they are just curious.

Recently a family of Black-tailed deer, 2 females and their fawns, walked towards me and then around me while foraging. They were so close that I could have touched them. I didn't. I remained still.

Here's one of the fawns.
