ABSOLUTLEY INCREDIBLE photo by Martin Le-May. Green Woodpecker and Weasel. Apparently the Woodpecker escaped.

Slow-mo of my Hamilton Khaki Field 42mm Automatic H-10 movement in action. ⌚️Born from Hamilton’s military heritage, a tiny self-winding mechanical engine doing what it does best. You either get it, or you don’t. #Hamilton #KhakiField #H10Movement #MilitaryWatch #MechanicalWatch

For the week ahead Ive chosen the Hamilton Khaki Field watch with Military heritage and is Swiss made. It keeps time better than a Patek Philip, it simply doesn’t loose or gain a single second in months. 🤦🏼‍♂️😎 #Hamilton #Watches

Well, I’m ready for the eclipse, got me colander at the ready for safe viewing. Not sure how this makes it safer to be honest. Only can’t raise a smile coz the moon is nowhere to be seen and it’s meant to start in hours time. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Arctic Tern (Sterna paradisaea) A true long-distance traveller, the Arctic Tern breeds here in the UK during our summer before making one of the longest migrations in the animal kingdom — travelling all the way to Antarctica for the southern summer. #ArcticTern #UKWildlife

A Fasciated Conehead Mantis (Empusa fasciata). I stumbled upon this beauty while out on a walk 16 years ago in Ishmala, Turkey 🇹🇷. I was absolutely delighted to come across it, sitting right on the road leading up the mountain path I was walking.

Always an absolute highlight, Hummingbird Hawk-moth (Macroglossum stellatarum) in Harlow garden. This one collecting nectar from Lady’s Bedstraw (Galium verum). #HummingbirdHawkMoth #MacroglossumStellatarum #LadysBedstraw #GardenWildlife #WildlifePhotography
