Did you know octopuses are technically colorblind? 🌈 One photoreceptor, no color vision, should only see in grayscale. So how are they perfect color matching camouflage artists? 🐙 A thread 🧵 (with sources at the end, of course 😋) 🦑🐡

I had to nip up in the loft this evening, so naturally I got distracted by old treasures 😁 @dirkmaggs.bsky.social

For those who love my nature posts, my daughter has set up a profile dedicated to our friendly, and not so friendly, neighbourhood pigeons. Do give her a follow for pigeon antics and general goodness 😁 bsky.app/profile/pige...

Me and my daughter, @theartisticdragon.bsky.social went to Camden today. I think we spent more time feeding Starlings than we did shopping 🤣

You know what you need in this heat? Another tiny frog.

It is unreasonably hot. I bring you this tiny frog as a smile through the heat. #frog #pond #nature #wildlife

One of my beautiful roses.

25 years since that girl met that boy in a club with a beer-soaked floor. 25 years since the card with a cow on it, & her agreeing to be his girlfriend. 25 years - Births, deaths, miscarriages, laughter, tears, and joy, a whole life of love and learning. Here’s to the next 25 *tea salute* ☕️

That time I crocheted a (more or less) life size Pengling for my daughter. #subnautica @subnautica.bsky.social

I love this time of year ♥️ Many years ago my Nan died in the Spring, we were devastated but I am always grateful that it was Spring. She left us at a time when there was so much to see, so much to distract us, everything blooming and springing to life. I miss her dearly and think of her everyday ♥️

The froglets are out! Now is when we have to start being very cautious about where we tread!

One from a few years ago. I freehand burned this onto the wood. #jellyfish #nature 🪼

Drop spindle from last year. Handmade by my Dad and burned by me. I have a few more of these to burn when I have time.

Would you like to see some froglets ready for release? Of course you would! 🐸

A very handsome froglet.

Another one of Little Annie, our Robin friend, feeding from my hand. I know the videos all look the same so they’re probably a bit boring but I love her 😁

This is SO incredibly important! Imagine the world of pain we could have avoided if this had been in place before Please do this now - takes seconds and could change everything! Thank you x

Our new baby pigeon friend, Hiccup. We are not sure which couple he belongs to yet but he’s very sweet and friendly ♥️

The Middle Earth map is done. Official photos to follow another day. All hand burned onto the wood. This will be available in a Facebook auction to raise funds for @sewh.bsky.social in August. It will not be available outside of the auction so it’s a rare thing 😁 #lotr #maps #handmade #fantasy

Little Annie this morning. #birds #garden #nature #wildlife

Today I turn 42, apparently, and fully expect to have all the secrets of Life, the Universe, and Everything bestowed upon me. I will spend the day eating copious amounts of cake, reading books, pottering in the garden with the birds, and playing Don’t Starve. Have a great day, everyone x

All available artworks. I’m working on the Middle Earth map for the charity auction right now so there won’t be any new pieces for a little while.

On Monday I will turn 42, where I expect to learn the secrets of Life, the Universe, and Everything, but the spoils have already begun ♥️ @nikitagill.bsky.social @aptshadow.bsky.social
