Another robin has come to help in the wildflower garden.
A patch of bare earth in a back garden with a garden fork stuck upright into the earth. There is a tall leafy plant to the right of the fork and a low leafy plant to the left. A robin sits on the shoulder of the fork.

Reinigeadal, Harris. Forty years ago this weekend.
A brown hillside seen through an old four-pane sash window. A white cottage in the top right pane, a sheep in each of the bottom panes and a small stream in the bottom right.

Trump administration seeks to starve libraries and museums of funding by shuttering this little-known agency. At work is not just an innocent reduction of government spending. It is about controlling how the past is narrated and what we see as possible in future theconversation.com/trump-admini...

On a sunny day near Killiecrankie.#FingerpostFriday#Scotland#Hiking#Pitlochry
Two wooden, pointed signposts in the top left of the image. One reads ‘Bealach Path Pitlochry’, the other reads ‘Path to Ben-y-Vrackie’ and points uphill, indicating a path through the heather to the top of a hill in the distance under a blue sky with scattered white clouds.

Trying to change a chronically neglected patch of ground at the back of our building into a wildflower garden and a local robin turned up to help. #birds #WildflowerGarden
A robin sitting on the handle of a garden fork which is stuck upright into the ground, in front of a rough stone wall with strands of ivy.
