🔊 Water rails are heard more frequently than seen as they skulk around in reedbeds looking for snails, insects and small fish to eat. Listen out for a ‘squealing pig’ in reeds and you're sure to be close! Discover more January wildlife highlights: buff.ly/7o31iNR

A large pond with reeds among grassland. The water reflects the sky, which is a gradient of pale to dark blue, filled with wispy clouds. The distant sun is on level with the horizon, filling the surrounding sky with bright orange and yellow hues.

🌱 Drifts of snowdrops poking up through the woodland floor and along riverbanks are a welcome sight during these winter months. They generally flower between January and March and are a sure sign that spring will return again! 👉 More January highlights: buff.ly/7o31iNR

A magical day at @BBOWT Dancersend. Apart from rabbits, foxes and badgers I was the first to leave prints in the snow. Looking east towards Pavis Wood from the highest point. Hebridean sheep enjoying the change of scenery and my favourite tree made spectacular by the low sun.
