I'm so glad English is my first language. It must take a genius to learn all of the grammar rules. Don't you agree? #WritingCommunity #BookSky

Absolutely INSANE twilight aurora just now from my driveway in North Pole, Alaska. Incredible motion and color, one of the best of the season. Watch until the end, wow!

Right-wing nutjobs already think Zack Polanski is Prime Minister. #DailyFail 😄

Tadpoles - here still at the herbivore stage grazing algae from rocks & surfaces in the pond. As they grow, they become omnivore/carnivores & begin feeding on other pond creatures like water fleas, dead animals or indeed each other, if food is scarce. Then metamorphosis - finding their land legs.

#shopindie has been fragmented to the point of having no main focus on social media - ours wasn't the greatest on Twitter but it had the sharing and reach potential that's been taken away now. Got to try and build something back up from the bottom

This evening was the last event in the Norfolk Coast Protected Landscapes Dark Skies festival. We took a Moonlit stroll around a local wood. It was lovely. We heard owls 🦉 enjoyed the moon & stars. The tree canopy was just beautiful @gwtreelover.bsky.social @treeside.bsky.social #Trees

For most of the 9 months that the bluebells are awake even our fallow deer stick to the paths Rather than a deliberate attempt to avoid damage to the bluebells, in reality it is because they cannot see where they are placing their hooves

Happy March 1st, bit late in the day but hope the month ahead is a good one xx www.ebay.co.uk/itm/33559881...

Fruit trees benefit all sorts of wildlife, including bees, bats and birds. But around two thirds of UK orchards have been lost since 1960. Planting an apple tree in your garden or community can really help to boost biodiversity. More: littlegreenspace.org.uk/features/cho...

Muntjac vs Indian Rhino.

My girl Nessa is 4 today. Wouldn’t get out for half as many walks to enjoy nature without the company of her and my other dogs. #bordercollie #dogsofbluesky

Just seen a crow stuffing some bread into someone's central heating outlet pipe, leaving it for five minutes, then fishing it out again. Is this some form of Corvid toast making or something?

Winston Howes lost his wife. He planted thousands of oak trees in a six-acre field Once it was completed he put a seat in the field, overlooking the hill near where she used to live. He didn't tell anyone Photo: SWNS

It’s the Monday toast run with Squirrel the sheep

Give us a twirl, Anthea (for those old enough to understand it!!)

But we’d be all the sadder if we didn’t have independent shops. When your income is low it’s even more exciting to buy from somewhere that is quality. I’d rather save up and buy independent than go for cheap and buy rubbish that was not ethically made.

Dandelions are known for their ability to thrive in challenging conditions, pushing through cracks in concrete, making them powerful symbols of strength, perseverance, and overcoming adversity. They're more than a humble weed; they stand for hope and resilience. #MixedMedia52 #Hope #OriginalArt

A charm of youths, learning their trade.

Toast time for our donkeys in our new development area, with pond, cabin and hopefully a portable toilet block if we can raise the funds
