Good news: local wildlife is making a comeback in East London. Hackney Marshes is seeing a revival of kestrels, weasels, shrews and other small mammals. This is great for our environment and communities as we continue to build a greener London for everyone.

We have hundreds of thousands of English Bluebells awake 🥳 However, if you zoom in to this photo you will see clear evidence of similar numbers just breaking ground 🥱 Also a lot are still waiting for their alarm clocks to go off 😴

I just missed #MosaicMonday but here’s a picture regardless. One of the wonderful Paolozzi mosaics at Tottenham Court Road station #PublicArt

Colourful wall mosaic with abstract shapes, mainly in beige, yellow, red and blue. Identifiable images include a moth in the top right corner, and a large beige head with a multicoloured brain.

London was the first city in the Western world to host a Ramadan Lights display. It’s a powerful symbol of who we are as Londoners. I’d like to extend my warmest wishes to Londoners and those around the world observing the holy month of Ramadan. Ramadan Mubarak.

The ghost village of #Tyneham yesterday. The residents were removed by the military in 1943 - and never allowed to return. We left at dusk, just before the gate to the long, narrow road was closed. I always expect to look back and see lamps lighting in the windows, smoke unfurling from chimneys...

Today’s work trip to @designmuseum.bsky.social to see the Barbie exhibition. Intrigued by the different stages of face painting and hair attachment #Barbie #DollDesign

Today’s random find at the British Library’s medieval women exhibition. This may be the skull of Margaret of Anjou’s lion. How wonderfully bizarre. I love it 🦁

Wonderful #StainedGlassWindow at St Mark's #Swindon. The photograph doesn't do it justice. I especially liked the two figures swinging thuribles which are emitting peacock feathers to represent the incense smoke.
