Roll up, roll up, there’s a new singleton on #birbtinder 💕

Meeting Simon!! A Herring Gull with sass and a love of all things foodie. He’s omnivorous and monogamous, looking for a girlie he can share rooftop nesting sites with, and shout to the early hours of the morning alongside.

As long as you don’t misidentify him as a seagull, Simon isn’t too fussy. But please, no plastic 🛢️

Lone Soldier 🪲

One my favourite things about macro photography is the fact you can do it almost anywhere. Everywhere you look, there are tiny critters; curious bugs; weird and wonderful beings which feel like real-life aliens here on earth.

There are over 40 species of soldier beetle in the UK alone… so here’s a handsome fella I photographed recently.

the collective noun for a group of herring gulls (or “seagulls”) is a screech!

honestly watching this gang go at the biscuits, whilst skidding on the skate tiles, was amusing!

Sirens

Artificial light at night is a deadly siren to nocturnal migrating birds, which themselves are a large group. It is estimated that over 80% of migratory species in North America are nocturnal migrants, making them particularly vulnerable to light pollution, which dazzles, confuses, traps, and disorientates them.

Unable to see the stars to navigate, birds may become trapped between beams of light, circulating in confusion until they succumb from exhaustion.

I’m really excited to show you all this new #wildlifeartivism piece - it’s been brewing in my brain for a while, and I’m really happy with how it’s turned out. I wanted to expand from my traditional stripped back colour scheme, adding a few more hues in there - and I also wanted it to be angular, sharp, and stylistic - emphasising the unnaturalness of light pollution & its affect on our birds.

I hope you like it 🧡

Here’s a weird, wild, feral poem I wrote - it’s called Honeysuckle

Text below 👇

21:02. A text. ‘omw’

The evening walk to the house
(I did not notice him. I am moth)

I walk to his house every evening.
Every evening. Eyes on the shadows
Suspicious. (did it move, or is it paranoia?)

I walk to his house. Evenings
are mine. I am my own – if I
squint, I can see trials left by others
(pheromone visualisation – I am caught like a flame)

I walk to his house
In evenings, the roads twist, turn, curl
Rubble kicked up – fumes
(are the trees absorbing all of this?
do we need more trees? how do I plant more trees?)

I walk to evenings, my house (his)
My house is growing
I am growing – there is –
Grief. A twisted thing – a knife in the heart
(did the tree absorb enough - - -
am I going mad?)

I walk the evenings, his house
Rises – and alongside the polluted pathways
Spring pale flowered tendrils –
Rapunzel’s ropes (let down
let down your hair!
he prefers it long – do I care?)

I walk to his house. Evening
comes suddenly and i
jolt awake, covered in sweat
(i thought i was a moth, i thought
i could fly. I cannot.)

Evening house! I walk. He
is alarmed. He is a moth now
His brown wings flutter.
I am hungry. I am bird. Hunt.

The house walks, but I am evening.
My perfumed lips are pastel lemon,
And in the moonlight

I kiss moths, flirt with stars
There is no house

Only moon.

Ever wanted to *print* on your own CLOTHES?

Let me show you how! 🌀

For @rspb’s latest issue of Wingbeat, I’m showing you how to create and print a design on a t-shirt (or a bag!).

You only need acrylic paint, brushes, some pins or white tac, tape, spare card & plain card, a pencil, and (of course) the fabric you’d like to print on!

I had so much fun making this !! And can assure you I really do love the t-shirts I’ve made 🥰 - tag me & @rspb in your wildlife print creations, as we’d love to see!!

Happy summer solstice!! 🌀

To celebrate, here are a few of my favourite photos from across the years!!

Although a lot of what I do (especially on here) is art & wildlife artivism, I work across multiple media, including film, photography, animation, and writing - all of which are art forms themselves.

Taking a multidisciplinary approach is not only fun & refreshing, it also helps engage with a diverse audience - something I feel strongly about trying to achieve.

My photography focuses more on invertebrates and birds - I love unusual angles, playing with movement, experimenting with concealment & partial visibility, and exploring light effects.

Many of these photos have won or been placed in national & international competitions ✨ (which is something I’m always quite shy talking about - but if you want to find out more about that, you can DM me or check out my website) 🥰

Which is your favourite?

Many of these photos have won or been placed in national & international competitions ✨ (which is something I’m always quite shy talking about - but if you want to find out more about that, you can DM me or check out my website) 🥰

Which is your favourite?

Let’s get lost in the woods sometime

I’ll search for bugs and you’ll dream of stars

Hollows twisting ; your brain may be twisted

But here there are fairy pools you can bathe in

Here there are buttercups you can dine from

Here there are stag beetles you can ride on

Your brain may be twisted ; but give me your hand

Racing in circles, tell me your name

Whisper it , chant it , however you please

Tell me your name . I’ll let you be free .

~ lil poem about fairies in woods ✨ plus some pics of me exploring woods, where I did not lose my mind to the fairies 👀

I’ve had a little secret recently…

I was so excited (and nervous!) to be a *wildcard artist* on the new series of Sky’s Landscape @artistoftheyear !! ✨

As primarily working as a wildlife artist, I was quite a rogue contestant, but I had so much fun, and loved every minute* of it 🪿

It was so wonderful meeting & chatting to other artists, as well as to the very lovely @realstephenmangan !!

The @storyvaultfilms crew were so lovely, from start to finish, and I’m so excited for you to see the series when it comes out in 2026!!

Lemme know if you have any Qs in the comments below!! And what you’re most excited for 👀

* I have not enjoyed the subsequent (and incredibly accidental) sunburn I now have 😫 lesson learnt to put on sunscreen, even if you get up at 4.30am…

Being a Wildcard Artist for the next series of @artistoftheyear’s Landscape Artist of the Year was surreal, unexpected, and utterly amazing!

I had so much fun meeting other artists, some really wonderful members of the public, and (of course) @ephenmangan51b5 & the judges 👀

No sneak peeks or spoilers from me…. tune in in 2026 to see my piece, and watch the amazing art both the wildcards & the incredible artists in the pod, create!!!

A Girl & Birds - officially an open public exhibition!!

For the next 2 weeks, you can view the 32-piece collection, featuring quotes collected from anonymous individuals about their experiences - both good & bad - with birding and bird ringing.

I urge you to read what these people have been brave & kind enough to tell me, and think about how we can make nature safe & accessible for all.

To read my piece “A Girl & Birds”, read my blog for @btobirds - link in my bio 🩵

The exhibition can be viewed at Bristol @cassart1984 until the 29th of June - I’m planning on being there on the 28th, but this is TBC

Swipe to see me looking weirdly tanned (I assure you, I’m not), and for a 👃-scare at the end.

Red Ivory

Helmeted Hornbills are critically endangered - with the thing that gave them their very namesake causing their population to plummet in recent years.

The hornbill has a “casque” the helmet like structure on top of their beak - and these are illegally traded for aesthetic purposes: to carve.

Dubbed “red ivory”, the casque is made of keratin (the same thing our fingers and hair are made from), but this doesn’t stop the trade & subsequent poaching of helmeted hornbills.

In fact, the casques of the helmeted hornbill are more expensive than ivory by weight.

This piece depicts the carvings associated with illegally traded casques, but each of the carvings is a stage of the helmeted hornbill’s life history: from nesting to death.

You asked, and it’s time… *let’s learn how to draw a Capybara*

They’re the biggest rodent in the world, and are semi-aquatic (hence their funny feet!), so it’s time to practise our drawing skills with this funny lil guy!

Introducing @sam_lightfoot_loftus’s breathtakingly beautiful “For evermore, Forever Moor”!! The accompanying EP to “I, me, moor”. ✨

When I was coming up with “I, me, moor”, and wanting it to explore Mimi’s synaesthesia, as well as natural sounds, creating an accompanying musical quartet felt key.

Sam is an exceptionally talented musician & lyricist, also hailing from North Yorkshire, so he was the perfect person to bring Mimi’s story to life through music. 🌱

Split seasonally, like the sections of the book, “For evermore, Forever Moor” explores the trials & tribulations of growing up and growing alongside something as wild as the moors.

A massive thank you to @chuck_loris - who helped bring this quartet to life with Sam; and @alicewolffwhitehouse who provided additional vocals!
If you want to support them, check out their band @eofishermen 🐟

Animations by me, using @procreate 🌀

Huge thank you to @campaign4parks & @heritagefunduk for funding & supporting the project; and for @yorkshiredales being such an amazing place to grow up - constantly providing inspiration

‘I, me, moor’ is an ecological fairytale with twists of folklore. Infused with the bewitching, mythical beauty of the @yorkshiredales national parks - for me, it is a place which has always felt magical.

So what *is* an ecological fairytale? ✨

‘I, me, moor’ is an ecological fairytale with twists of folklore. Infused with the bewitching, mythical beauty of the @yorkshiredales national parks - for me, it is a place which has always felt magical.

Answering my most asked question recently - why #birbtinder? Why are all these birds #lookingforlove and wanting to find their forever soulmate?

It’s the most requested looking for love birb, and the accidental star of my #artistalley stand at London @mcmcomiccon - it’s… Paul the PIGEON!!!!!

Paul really isn’t fussy - he’ll do it anywhere, anytime. He likes to show off to the ladies, and he only gets mad if someone steals his food.

Which looking for love birb do you want to see next?

The next birb looking for love is none other than the long-legged goddess who is *the secretary bird*

Susan is strictly into monogamy, but don’t let that fool you. She may be vanilla* on the streets, but she’s definitely a freak in the sheets - she requires a man with serious dance moves to woo her during courtship.

* she’s also not the vanilla on the streets; she stamps snakes for dinner, and is big into her punk aesthetic

Comic-Con got me all sorts of inspired, which is especially nice as I’ve been in such a spiral of artistic burnout, anxiety, & generally feeling cloudy with regards to my art. Something I found even more - quite frankly - scary, as it’s my livelihood, (cue existential crisis).

But today, I was back at home, and I realised there were colours in my brain again. Ideas brimming!

So here’s a wee doodle of a bug comic - an ant snacking on an orange slice, when he becomes aware of *gasp* birbs ….!!!

And talking of birds, I’ve got a BIG list of the new birbs that have enrolled on #birbtinder and are looking for love!!!!! Keep your eyes peeled 👀

POV - it’s your first artist alley, and it’s @mcmcomiccon London Comic-Con!!!

Something quick & silly, as I didn’t have much time to film or take photos 🌀

🦐 Having some truly wonderful conversations; we got recommended a Star Trek featuring a whale, previewed an awesome VR piece of tech, and many other things!

He genuinely has the patience of a saint, and I’m very grateful for him putting up with me!!!
