“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

Icelandic photographer Sigga Ella, series of portraits of people with Down's Syndrome, 'First and foremost I am' featuring 21 images, a number she chose as people with Down's Syndrome have an extra copy of chromosome 21 #WomensArt

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...

@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

The sun came out and so up the Lawley we went! That killer of a steep climb right at the end gets me every time but it’s always worth it #Shropshire

The Shropshire Bird Report for 2024 is now being delivered. As always, it’s a fascinating resource and a delight for Shropshire bird nerds. It’s a great credit to the hard work and diligence of @pilning.bsky.social and the team. Work on SBR 2025 is about to start! #ShropshireBirds

Children's books should have a list of characters at the start, along with suggested voices or accents. I don't want to get two-thirds of the way through a book I'm reading for my daughter before I discover that I should be doing a Scottish accent for one of the characters.

Just saw this and thought it may be useful as sightings may be possible, will need better weather though I think #thegardenjungle #Butterfly #Moth #ButterflyConservation

What a job! 😮 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Watching the wonderful Yes, Prime Minister, and found this quote from the most excellent Paul Eddington, which is I think lovely: ‘Most people seem to me to do a great deal of harm. If I could be remembered as having done very little, that would suit me.’

Two weeks until the closing date - please share with anyone who might be interested. #Shropshire #wildlife #Britishwildlife

A fairly clear pattern in my Merlin results up in Grinshill this morning. The woods were full of birdsong … and the tits have it! Tree creepers, nuthatches and a mistle thrush were also about but this was the recording that made me laugh! #Shropshire

It’s time. Possibly one of my favourite hours of the year because everything else stops. Not sure I’m going to see much this year though ☹️#BigGardenBirdwatch #BGBW

Little girl outside a café: She chose baked beans for school dinners, and then I chose baked beans for dinner! Her dad: Oh my God. Little girl: I know!

Who or What am I? Hint 1: If you are lucky, seen on a branch near the corner of the Onny in our meadow; or more likely, going fast, direct and low over the river. Second hint at noon.
