The early start was worth it, lots of deer active in Richmond Park at the moment

Hi! I'm a beginner photographer. Last summer, I visited Iceland and tried wildlife photography for the first time. I'm still learning when it comes to editing, but I did my best with these shots. :)

I'm happy to share some of my first wildlife photos and would love to hear your thoughts or any tips you might have!

Today I visited a birding hut in my area and a few meter in front of me a Kingfisher suddendly landed. I'm incredibly lucky to get these shots.

Last week two of my favorite animals graced me with their presence. This time of year, bull Elk move about the forest with zero finesse. They crash through anything that gets in the way of their strong drive to pass their genes on to the next generation. I still heard this guy long after he had vanished into the forest. About the only thing left were their tracks and a fog that hung in the air from their collective condensed breath. 

Conversely, there are few animals that move about as apparently effortlessly as a Red Fox. They often behave more like a feline than a canine, and even have cat-like vertical pupils. They’re not an uncommon creature around these parts, but they are stunningly beautiful.

Beautiful sky and mist this morning!

Found just outside my front door. I’m new to photography, so critique would be appreciated.
