Ashley Beolens: One of my favourite, recent photos. This is a Common Kestrel at sunset (actually entered into BWPA competition, so I must like it!). I love the silhouette against the orange sky. Just wish I could find the motivation and mental fortitude to #getoutside mo

Ashley Beolens: The two most important ladies in my life, and I am lucky that they want it to stay that way 😀
Ashley Beolens: Seems I’ve not been able to take a decent wildlife or landscape shot for a while 😟 but at least this little lady has kept me laughing 😀 #posingpractice #funnydaughter #funnygirl #youngmodels #girl #kids #goldenlight #sunnies #princess #my
Ashley Beolens: Local cuckoo in flight. #cuckoo #bird #nature
Ashley Beolens: Some pony action on the local fields, this was while the nature reserve was flooded
Ashley Beolens: Took the pup for a walk and photo shoot in wildflower fields. Gotta love his handsome posing in the buttercups. #dogwalk #labradorretriever #labrador #labinbuttercups #doginflowers #puppy #puppylove #puppiesofinstagram #labradorsofinstagram #buttercups #w
Ashley Beolens: #nationalwalkingmonth coincides with #mentalhealthawareness week this week. So I am resharing all my #outdoorswellness posts on Twitter and have written a piece for @ordnancesurvey on their site about my own mental health battles and how I use the outdoor
Ashley Beolens: Misty, mystical, river. The River Great Ouse captured in early morning sun (no filter!) the light shining through the trees making the mist glow. #mistyriver #rivermist #rivers #riverouse #mist #earlymornings #morningmist #greatouse #ousevalley #nofiltern

Ashley Beolens: Swans in the early morning sun. The golden hour. It does make getting up early and getting outside worthwhile. #swansinthesun #goldenhour #morningsun #earlymornings #muteswan #swans #birds #birdsofinstagram #nature #naturephotography #getoutside #natgeo

Ashley Beolens: Swan in the mist. Sunrise on Thursday saw this scene unfold before me. A similar photo was posted on Twitter. But this has the swan closer to the point of land and is slightly redder in the early morning light. #swan #swaninmist #mist #mistymorning #birds
Ashley Beolens: It’s strange, when I took this photo I wanted the bird present, I thought it would add impact to the image but it somehow looks fake, like I have added the bird in post processing (something I don’t do), and I’m now not sure it adds anything to the shot.

Ashley Beolens: Nice Male Reed Bunting, not quite in full summer garb. From a month or so ago at Stony Stratford Nature Reserve. #reedbunting #bunting #reed_bunting #bird #birds #birding #birdsofinstagram #birdshots #nature #naturephotography #naturelovers #nature_cuties
Ashley Beolens: Not posted as much as I should have (having a bit of a falling out with IG too many follow/unfollow accounts!) but from the other day the sun was still low in the morning sky and was just catching the Manor Farm buildings over the Floodplain Forest Nature
Ashley Beolens: No the greatest of photos as the light levels were low but my closest shot of a Goosander to date. Swimming in the River Ouse by Haversham Viaduct. #goosander #sawbill #duck #waterbird #waterfowl #birds #bird #birding #swimmingbird #naturephotography #nat
Ashley Beolens: Sunrise 🌅 in the snow. Limited colours on the day I went out, but still some lovely colours over this old bridge by the Farm hide. #sunrise #sunrises #sunrise_sunsets_aroundworld #sunrise_and_sunsets #snowy #snowysunrise #sunriseoversnow #landscap
Ashley Beolens: Well as my latest blog post (link in bio) is my top 10 bird photographers on instagram I thought I ought to post a bird pic. This one is a stunning Goldfinch. #goldfinch #finch #finchesofinstagram #finches #goldie #bird #birds #birdsofinstagram #birding #

Ashley Beolens: Just to over complicate my IG profile a little more here is a Grey Squirrel 😀 all over the place with my feed. But it’s all outdoors stuff 👍 #squirrels #greysquirrel #wildanimal #squirrelsofinstagram #squirrellove #nature #nature_perfect
Ashley Beolens: Great Tit from a little while ago. Stunning birds really, often underlooked. They ought to be bright yellow now as they attempt to breed. #greattit #smallbird #birds #birding #nature #wildlife #nature_lovers #wildlifeonearth
