Another dog walk bonus. I’ve long wanted to find one of these. It’s an ear pick fungus, #auriscalpiumvulgare that grows on pine cones. In looks a lot bigger in the photo than it actually is, about 1cm tall with the cap about half a cm wide. #ukfungi #pineconefungi

The rain may have been pouring down this morning but the trees were on fire. #autumn #autumncolours #autumntrees #fife

This morning’s dog walk bonus. Cauliflower fungi, Sparassis Crispa. Tucked away behind the bilberries. So lucky to spot it. #ukfungi #sparassiscrispa

Fantastic autumn sun through the trees this morning. Looks more like spring with the bright greens.

Spent Tuesday morning at Bempton Cliffs watching some of my favourite birds, the Gannets. Bonus brown hare and puffins seen too. 3 of the 800+ photos taken. #gannet #RSPB #BemptonCliffs #birdphotography #ukbirds

Now I know why they are called oak apples. Only ever seen the dark brown, woody remains in winter before.

BIG day has arrived as moving back onto the Isle of May to prepare and open it up for the new season. Exciting times ahead.

#WorldSparrowDay. Eurasian tree sparrow (_Passer montanus_). Watercolour on paper-backed silk, 106 × 116 mm. This piece from 2023 was the first time I finally tried painting on silk. I'll repost an old XTwitter thread on the process later. The bird's proportions bother me slightly now, but hey ho.

A drawing of 2 female House Sparrows for #WorldSparrowDay. Lucky to have lots of them living and nesting in the garden here. Coloured pencil on canvas. #housesparrow #colouredpencil #art #artist #traditionalart #sciart #drawing #nature #birdart #birds #wildlifeart
