Since then, the periwinkle has symbolised “tender recollections”. #folklore 38015

Reposted by IzzyDr Nick 🦉🇦🇺 @doktrnick.bsky.social · 16/12/2024This Powerful Owlet was trilling constantly when we checked on it mid afternoon. This is quite unusual, during the day they will sometimes do the odd trill, sometimes a bit more if they are being mobbed. Possibly it missed dinner as there was a lot of rain the previous night #brisbane #birds #wildoz 514314

For this reason, homemade nest ornaments are sometimes used as decorations. #FolkloreSunday 2618

Reposted by IzzyDr Nick 🦉🇦🇺 @doktrnick.bsky.social · 15/12/2024Two new Powerful Owlets! This Brisbane conservation area had not been monitored for several years, so it was great to find that Powerful Owls were still there and doing well. Couldn't see the parents, but they would no doubt have been within 100m keeping an eye on things. #brisbane #birds #wildoz 637726

Reposted by IzzyVenetiaJane’s Garden @venetiajane.bsky.social · 15/12/2024Some say the name of #Yule, the festival around the time of the #WinterSolstice, is derived from Old English “hweol” meaning “wheel”, and is a reference to the circular course of the sun through the “wheeling points” of the solstices and equinoxes during the year. #FolkloreSunday 712130

Reposted by IzzyLucyParkerPaul🦉🇦🇺 @lucyparkerpaul.bsky.social · 10/12/2024Looking for owls is different than looking for other birds, they don't tend to move or make noise. It took a while to retrain the brain to scan the branches looking for shapes rather than movement but it's always such a buzz when an eye pops out at you. I think this Boobook Owlet saw me first #birds 414322
