Hi everyone, I'm John a hobbyist wildlife photographer based in Scotland. I currently upload all of my images to Flickr but I'm wanting somewhere else to share some of them too. Still not quite sure how Mastodon works but hope to view yours and share more of my wildlife and nature photographs.

I've got a lot of work to do in our front garden and built some raised beds in out back last year but for the rest of it, I want to let it be a more natural garden as it backs onto some woodland and we're blessed with lots of wildlife visiting (foxes and badgers). I did start a permaculture design course a while back but never got to finishing it due to other commitments. Excited to see your progress in 4b!
