"Murmuration over Lanhydrock Park", 2020 by Annie Ovenden, English painter #WomensArt

Is it just me or is this staircase actually a stone brontosaurus hiding in plain sight?

We walked over the boardwalk yesterday and it’s definitely much soggier and wet underfoot! Great to see a much wider range of waterfowl now enjoying the habitat too 💚

The albeit too brief visit of Avocets to Venus Pool. Had to throw in a before work trip to get it! #photography #Nature #wildlife #ukwildlife #shropshirebirds #birdphotography #birds #UKBirding Avocet stood in the margins of a pool

RIP Ted. The best dog on television ever 🐾

Can anyone tell me what this bird is? It was a bit like a Mistle Thrush but wasn’t. More grey-buff than brown. Was wondering it was a Fieldfare. Sorry the pictures are crap but it was several yards away and I didn’t have much zoom.

Bluebells EVERYWHERE! A beautiful sunny walk up to Sallows Coppice from @sh-discoverycentre.bsky.social where there were swathes of bluebells in every direction! #Shropshire

Bluebells and Birdsong - a lovely woodland walk at Cound today with just a sprinkling of April showers thrown in #Shropshire

Now listen up: words to live by in 2026 (and beyond). Be what the sad world needs. "So many gods, so many creeds So many paths that wind and wind, While just the art of being kind Is all the sad world needs." ~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox

In case you and your little ones are looking for something to do tomorrow, there’s a lovely community event happening at the Prince of Wales in Belle Vue #Shrewsbury in the morning #Shropshire

@shropshirebeyond.bsky.social That was a goody! ✅

Who or What am I? Hint 1: It can be seen in flocks, often performing aerial acrobatics or repeating its short, loud 'kya' or 'tchack' call, It will often nest in chimneys, buildings, rock crevices and tree holes. Second hint at noon.

Glue traps are horrendous things. We had a little owl admitted a couple of years ago after being caught on one after trying to eat a mouse that was already stuck. Luckily we managed to save him with days of bathing that was undoubtedly stressful. Why are these things still sold? 😡

I was today years old when I doscovered that "high-falooting" is actually spelt highfalutin. Why didn't anyone tell me? 😯

Duckling season has begun, and DucklingWatch is back for another year! Please submit your mallard brood sightings in GB to citsci.org/projects/ducklingwatch and share this post to spread the word 🦆

“How is it that you live, and what is it you do?” That quote from William Wordsworth was brought to mind when I saw this photo of postwoman Jane Preston. She served Cockerham, Lancashire for 50 years until her death in 1944. #InternationalWomensDay

If you spot hedgehogs coming out of hibernation. Leave a shallow dish of fresh water out and meaty wet cat or dog food (never milk or bread). Keep a corner with leaves or logs for shelter, avoid pesticides and slug pellets, check before strimming or clearing. youtube.com/shorts/v1KXc...

Best pub in Shrewsbury IMO for all sorts of reasons 🍺 #Shrewsbury #Shropshire

@sh-discoverycentre.bsky.social 🚨 It’s Thursday and I’ve actually remembered …

What an interesting article. In the last week I’ve struck up conversations with two strangers and come away feeling happier. I hope they benefitted too. Makes you think.

Beautiful breezy walk from Church Stretton up to the Battlestones and onto the Hope Bowdler ridge with magnificent views of those lovely Shropshire Hills all around #Shropshire

Details of three worthwhile surveys in S Shropshire. Two are suitable for anyone (all welcome!) but the Long Mynd Breeding Bird Survey needs good ID skills and fitness, as it involves coverage of steep upper valleys, largely on sheep tracks. More info: tinyurl.com/BTOShropshire #ShropshireBirds

Disturbing dream in which I was a teenager again, had just started going out with Buster Bloodvessel ( thanks @unclemonkeysalop.bsky.social ) from Bad Manners, and was taking him to meet my Mum and Dad. Where did THAT come from?! 🤷‍♀️

This is the most beautiful Mistle Thrush song I have ever heard! What made it even more magical was the fact that it was gracing a new collaborative nature project in Nechells. It’s worth taking 26 seconds just to heal the mind and enjoy the wonder of Brum’s birdsong 😎👌 @bosfonline.bsky.social

A favourite view on the island of Tresco - only three months now until we’re there once again #AlphabetChallenge #WeekFforFramed
