I know I'm not the only one, but there can't be many people in the jack snipe tattoo club 🤭

Okay. Seeing and hearing a nightingale for the first time seriously hit me right in the feelings 😆 @rspb.bsky.social

73 species of which THREE were lifers (nightingale, little and rosy tern)!! Awesome morning at @rspb.bsky.social Minsmere. Definitely worth the 03:55 alarm!

Stumbled upon the @nnfest.bsky.social on my Norwich sojorn, 10/10 hammock experience!

A POV photo looking out onto a pair of crossed legs idling in a red hammock. The setting is a park, it's dusk and festoon lighting brightens the marquees and tents.

Mr Blabi is a very regular visitor now he gets gut-loaded mealworms 🐛 #GardenBirdwatch

A male eurasian blackbird stands centee shot on a pathway (of a garden). He is jet black with a yellow beak, there are a bundle of small beige worms in his beak. He is wearing a small metal band on his right leg. Green vegetation runs the left side of shot, on the right is a propped garden brush.

There's just something so reassuring about a toad. Toads are so sturdy and strong. They move with purpose and deliberation, seeming never to be in a rush. Unbothered and unwavering. I need to be more toad.

A rather large european toad sits on the outstretched palm of a white hand. The toad is a mixture of burnt/toasted colours of brown, yellow, and orange. It's clearly night-time and some of the hand is in shadow.

✂️ Yesterday I finally responded to @agakowalska.bsky.social’s challenge to make a collage from a single piece of packaging. I present to you a green (tea) woodpecker, made from a big Yorkshire Tea box. It was fun and I’ll be rooting through our recycling bin for more materials later on ♻️

I wonder if the farmers who go on about what a "threat" birds of prey are to their lambs are the same farmers who slice all their lambs' tails off on a random Wednesday afternoon... 🤔
