3am alarm call for a quick road trip to Mullingar this morning. As I left Laytown, a beautiful waning crescent 🌙 hung low over the sea. The target species was the kingfisher, and they certainly didn’t disappoint.

Sunrise with this guy ! #foxoftheday #saveafox #madrarua #sionnach #BONPhotography @ChrisGPackham

Leap of faith. Leaping up to 2 metres between branches, using their bushy tails for balance and sharp claws for grip — red squirrels are tiny athletes and pretty much fearless. 🐿️🔥 Such speed, such agility, such attitude. #redsquirrel #BONPhotography

His coat changing — that warm red coming through, with just a trace of baby fur catching the sun. Longer ears, a sharper snout… growing into himself . For a moment, the mischief paused #foxoftheday #BONPhotography @ChrisGPackham

🐧 World Puffin Day 🐧 It’s that time of the year again. A curious little puffin peeks through the sea grass, its bright beak and gentle face glowing in the warm light of the dipping evening sun #WorldPuffinDay #Puffin #GoldenHour #WildlifePhotography #BONPhotography

Early mornings with this beautiful chap #foxoftheday #redfox #BONPhotography @ChrisGPackham

Tonight’s full moon - also known as the ‘pink moon’ - shining brightly over Laytown beach and The Voyager. Scroll across ➡️ for different shot of each in focus as shot separately - all shot handheld at 500mm. #fullmoonnight #fullmoonenergy #pinkmoon #laytown #BONPhotography

🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊“what a mighty fine sunrise that is behind me” Yesterday morning with Mr Fox and the sky exploded in colour. #mrfox #foxoftheday #saveafox #madrarua #BONPhotography @ChrisGPackham

A red kite drifting effortlessly above, framed by nature. There’s something humbling about watching it glide — no rush, no noise, just pure freedom carried on the wind. #redkite #birdofprey #flyinghigh #wicklow #BONPhotography

Fantastic Mr Fox 🦊 Early mornings have begun again with this familiar face. For five years now, we’ve shared quiet sunrises—just sitting together as the world wakes up. It’s been a real privilege to be allowed into his space. #mrfox #foxoftheday #BONPhotography @ChrisGPackham

Nice way to start off St Patrick’s Day ☘️ here in 🇮🇪 #foxoftheday #BONPhotography @ChrisGPackham

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing mothers out there. 🦊💐 #MothersDay #NatureMoments #MammyKnowsBest #foxoftheday #BONPhotography @ChrisGPackham

This morning The Voyager sends the moon 🌙 gently into moonset and turns east to welcome the rising sun 🌞 A perfect start to International Women’s Day. Have a fantastic day, ladies. #internationalwomensday #moonset #thevoyager #laytown #BONPhotography

Meteorologically speaking, the official first day of spring is March 1. And this Red Kite is actively collecting sticks to build a nest high in the trees. Here’s to new growth. #redkite #birdofprey #nestingseason #springhassprung🌸 #BONPhotography

I’ve photographed this beautiful male fox for nearly 5 years now. In that time, he’s raised many cubs. This year, he stands alone in the golden morning light — his partner sadly gone. One of his cubs now walks the territory with him. @ChrisGPackham #foxftheday #BONPhotography

It’s been a crazy few weeks of weather. Heavy rain falling on already saturated ground - high spring tides, combined with strong winds and surge has caused localised flooding, river flooding and difficult travel conditions. #springtimes #flooding #hightides #BONPhotography

More drama from the crazy conditions a few days ago. And this was before #stormchandra even arrived. These lads were hitting the waves regardless! #aleria #beacon #stormsabrewin #BONPhotography

So apparently today is Red Squirrel 🐿️ Appreciation Day …..Not sure the Great Tit in the background got the memo as he was not impressed with this little chap’s antics. #redsquirrel #redsquirrelappreciationday #wildlifephotography #thewildden #BONPhotography
