Positivity, kindness, hope 💚

After months and months of scaffolding up on the local church, displacing the pair of peregrines to a local tree, it's coming down and the peregrines are back again. A great Christmas present.

Yesssss! The swifts are back. Not seen them yet but just heard that familiar scream whizzing past the house as I'm sat working.

Just starting to read the wonderful @katebradbury.bsky.social book www.bloomsbury.com/uk/one-garde... I've been saving it up as an Easter reading treat. The writing is beautiful, the message so urgent, I'm sure there will be tears soon.

Does anyone else use birdsong as their alarm call to help them learn? The birds are so loud outside in the mornings now that it's taking me ages to realise my alarm is going off 😃

A grin on my face for the last 50m of my morning walk - the chiffchaffs opposite the house are back. Spring has officially begun!

I don't want to be on ghastly x anymore but it's where a lot of my sales come from so this post is a brazen request for shares to spread the word about my work on a kinder platform that isn't run by a dangerous megalomaniac! www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Sara... #selfemployedartist #ukgifthour #shopindie

Atmospheric freezing walk today. Ducks skidding on the canal, thrushes and blackbirds hungrily searching for food.

Our 3rd year of making this amazing @nigella.bsky.social cake, it's become a new tradition. We have it instead of Xmas pud as it tastes very similar. Super easy to make too!

westenglandbylines.co.uk/region/heref... It's hard not to feel hopeless. The A38 has always been a busy road, but lined with mature trees, hedges and daffodils in the spring. Protection for wildlife, nesting habitat for birds and protection from pollution for humans, being ripped up.

Day 10 of #ArtAdventCalendar. Here’s a pastel painting I created a few years ago called ‘Winter Woodcock’. I love watching Woodcock emerging to feed at dusk in the winter. They are one of my favourite birds in the world. ❄️

First visit to Slimbridge yesterday. First time seeing a marsh harrier and goldeneye ducks....but my favourite bit - the colours on this rook.

www.change.org/p/halt-tree-... So many trees lost already and more to come. This breaks my heart.

Worcester City Council has agreed to spend £10,000 eradicating gulls in 2025, following the removal of 125 nests this year: bit.ly/4g4hpSu

Didn't expect our holiday apartment in France to be right next to a starling roost - free entertainment every evening!

Calling all of #Worcestershire 's birders, botanists, nature-lovers alike! We've now arrived on Bluesky and are ready to start sharing the wonders of the natural world with you. We're looking forward to hearing your news too. #Wildlife #Conservation
