As the weather is bringing us promptly into an early spring, we wanted to remember some of the great species and places we’ve seen throughout winter. We’ve enjoyed watching many visitors in the the Embrace Nature UK garden and have headed out to nature reserves in the North and South of England to see some beautiful winter wildlife.
Winter makes for a great time of year to do some photography. This is because of those crisp frosty mornings and occasional sparkling cold evenings. If you’re lucky enough to have a layer of snow whilst the sun is shining, it can lead to some great photographic opportunities.
This is merely a snapshot of a wildlife-filled winter with an odd mixture of very warm and very cold weather. We’re looking forward now to seeing what spring will bring! Watch this space and in the meantime, we hope you enjoy these photographs that we’ve taken throughout the end of 2018 and the start of 2019….
