Owl knew to trust her intuition. Sometimes it was a nervous feeling inside, something that made her feathers tingle. Other times it was an intangible force driving her on. Even when it wasn't exactly what she wanted, she knew it was her true wisdom speaking. She always listened.

This tile comes from the workshops of William De Morgan.⁠ William De Morgan was one of the most important ceramic artists of the Arts and Crafts movement. ⁠ ⁠ He initially trained as a fine artist but changed direction when in 1863 he met William Morris.

Painted in 1916, J D Fergusson's 'Poise,' is thought to be a youthful portrait of the writer Katherine Mansfield. The picture was rediscovered in 2016 in an attic of a house in Giverny after being hidden away for almost a century.

Found a baby songbird? Here's a newly updated chart!

A chart that explains what to do If You Find A Baby Songbird Out Of The Nest. Is it hurt or did a cat get it? (Cat bites & scratches cause deadly infections.) or, Has a person kept it for over a day, given it food or water, or gotten it wet? If yes, Contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator
or wildlife care center near you. An online search can help. If no, what does it look like? Eyes not yet open. You have a hatchling. It's very young. Eyes open; feathers few & may be in tube-like sheaths. You have a nestling. Feathered; awkwardly hops or flutters; tail & wings short. You have a fledgling. Many sharp teeth; large claw on second toe. You have a velociraptor. If a hatchling or nestling, can you see the nest? If yes, Return it to its nest. The parents won’t care if they can smell you. If no, Make a nest from a basket & dried grass. Wire it to a tree. (Note: A few species, like Juncos, need a nest on the ground.) If a fledgling, is it in immediate danger? If yes, carefully move it to a safer spot nearby. If no, DO NOT INTERVENE! Though the bird looks awkward, it’s in a natural stage & the parents are still feeding it. If a velociraptor, has it seen you? If yes, back away slowly. Do not show fear. If no, run. Watch for others that may attack from the sides. FYI: Some babies (eg. swifts, most woodpeckers) only sit on the ground if in trouble. When in doubt, keep watch & contact a wildlife rehabilitator if needed!
