Good grief, that’s some #rain today ! ☔️💦 … surely it’s got to stop sometime ! 😳 The garden #weatherstation tells me we’ve only had 3 dry days since January the 5th ! 😞

Wasn’t ready with a camera, but the rarely seen #wren was in the garden today ! 👏😊 Going to have to try and be better prepared …

URGENT: our most precious wild places need your voice. ‼️ The Prime Minister is considering weakening the laws that protect nature. Estuaries. Peatlands. National Parks. The places & species we love are in the firing line again. All on the false assumption this will speed up nuclear projects.

Nice bit of #moss and #bittercress I think growing by the driveway 🌱

Well, look who has ‘woken up’ ! 🦔🤎 #hedgehog

Our precious garden visitor is quite chilled about setting off the security lights now 🦊🧡 #fox #garden #mammal #wildlife #nature #light #protect (The bird ‘table’ is just out of shot to the left and often a provides fallen snacks 😊).

Just a fraction of the #ladybirds hanging out in the cottage 🐞😊 #ladybug #coccinellidae

Approaching another half inch of #rain again this morning - when will it ever stop !?! ☔️😳

Loving this #sun finally out ☀️ … only the 2nd time since new year ! 😮

My goodness, what is this strange thing in the sky ? ☀️😁 Only the second day without total cloud and mostly rain since new year 😳 #sun #sunny #woodland

Clouds moving in, but what a wonderful thing to wake up to #sunlight today ! ☀️👏 (Only the second time in 2026 !).

Wintery and #grey ☁️ (again).

#Imperfection is just perfect 👌

👏 🦊🧡 #heroes

A bright companion with me on a dull day 🐰🩶

#Ladybird 🐞 found a crumb to #eat in a dusty corner of the cottage 😊 #ladybug #nature #wildlife #iphone #macro #closeup

It’s been #raining 🌧️ again all morning 😳 Glad I filled up the #bird feeders 🐦‍⬛ yesterday tea time; they are enjoying the seeds, mealworms and suet balls when the rain is lighter 😊

One #thousand 🎉🥳🍾

#Wet weather, wet camera lens, wet #squirrel 🌧️ 🐿️ 💦 But, #breakfast still located and consumed 🥜 😊 #garden #nature #wildlife

You’ll never guess, but it’s #raining *again* today 🌧️🤦‍♂️

This week it’s nothing but rain, rain and more #rain 🌧️😕 *sigh*

More dull and #misty days out there in the #natural world 🪾🌫️

#Rainy day today, but some interesting #clouds in one of the brief respites 🌧️

Long cut down #tree with some gorgeous #moss … might have to collect some samples from it for the #microscope 🔬

Marcescence in the #foggy woods - #persistence 🍂

There is a #sun out there - somewhere ! 🌫️ #fog #garden #trees 🪾

Another #foggy winter morning 🌫️

Dividing line …

Misty #winter day today 🪾🌫️

Think we might have a bit of #Crystal #Brain #fungus in the garden ? 🍄‍🟫 Myxarium nucleatum (?) 😊

Garden visitor on a #misty #morning 🐿️🤎 #squirrel #nature #wildlife #welcome

Decent #breakfast on a dark #rainy day for our guest 🐿️🌰 #squirrel #wildlife #nature 😊

Why does being awake and alive, being yourself, feel like anything at all, and where does this singular sense of awareness come from in the brain?

Grapheme–colour #synaesthesia is my superpower ! 🔴🟢🔵🟡 …

#Moss on the shapely #tree #trunks 🪾💚

Egg to go ! 🥚 #Fox snacks always liked 🦊

Oh my, the #tracks and #paths through the #woodland are getting very #wet and #muddy ! 💧🪾

Path for my #woodland #walk is suffering in this wet weather ! #mud 😳

#Imbolc 🌱 😊

Truncated 😉

All a bit one-sided, eh ! 🤔

#Marcescence on my morning walk today 🍂

#Snowdrops are coming into #flower in patches on the edge of the #woodland now 🌱

Nice bit of Stereum #fungus I believe 🍄‍🟫😊

Yep, still very much enjoying Star Trek: Starfleet Academy 🖖👏 … more please ! #starfleetacademy

Are you ready, have you already done it ? 🦆🦅🦜🐦‍⬛🪿🦉 We’re watching and collecting our observations this afternoon 🐧🐦🐤 😊 @rspbscience.bsky.social #RSPB #BigGardenBirdwatch www.rspb.org.uk/whats-happen...
