Gill Sinclair's Wildlife Blog

I made this blog to share photos from two Earthwatch projects on which I was a team member in 2002 and 2007. I've also added pictures from an 'expedition' to the Qinling Mountains of China to look for giant pandas in 2011, other occasional wildlife encounters, and holiday photos that just won't fit onto my website now. All images are (c) Gill Sinclair 1999 to 2018 - please do not copy or save them without my express written (email) permission. More photos at my main website www.gillsinclair.net

Splendid toad

Walking along Riccal Dale in North Yorkshire today, we saw roe deer and grey squirrels disappearing through the trees, but this splendid common toad was more obliging as it warmed itself in the sun.
