He chose the metal robin over a real branch. Sat there for a while, singing his heart out like he owned the place — didn’t seem bothered that he had an audience either. It’s moments like this that make you stop and just listen. #robinredbreast #birdphotographyuk #gardenbirds #ukwildlife

A peony that my daughter Gemma pushed through our adjoining garden fence to give it a chance of flowering. Ted, one of her dogs, obliterated the other flowers on her side of the fence. He's not called Ted the terror for nothing 🤣 #flower #peony #closeup #photography #samsunggalaxys23ultra #potd
