William John Leech, A convent garden Brittany (1913) oil on canvas
A photograph of a female Bearded Reedling ( Panurus biarmicus) that is feeding in a reed bed. She has her head facing forward, bending over as she balances on top of the reed she has selected. She looks down at the silky, fine hairs attached to the base of the tiny seeds, as if she is selecting which one to pull into her beak. The early morning light is illuminating her right side as viewed. The background is blurry mostly buff coloured from the reed stems behind her.
My #BirdOfTheDay #FavouriteOfTheMonth has to be the gorgeous Bearded Reedlings seen in Hampshire recently... they really are delightful birds! 🤍 📷 🪶
Happy Friday everyone. Wishing you all a good weekend and a new month ahead! 🕊️

Snowdrops can be seen growing through a leafy ground in front of gravestones which have a blue sky behind them.

🤍 Keep an eye out for patches of white appearing in the parks
🌦️ The weather this week has seen them really start to bloom across Brompton Cemetery

A cluster of white snowdrops with nodding, bell-shaped flowers and slender green leaves, growing closely together against a softly blurred green background.
“First, the pretty snowdrop wakes,
From her leaves the snow-drift shakes,
And her bell unfolds…”
— In Winter, Mary Sophia Claude (1821–1912)
A cluster of snowdrop blooming by a green lawn. Beyond the grass is a stone house. It looks to be on a slope and we can only see the upper part of the building which comprises a roof with at least four attic windows and multiple chimney's.
Can you name the place behind the snowdrops?
Clue: It's a grand Elizabethan house on a small scale.

Image of a barn owl perched on public footpath signpost, North Norfolk, UK.
Looks like this barn owl just found a perch in your feed, lucky you!
Winter is prime time for barn owls, keep an eye out at dusk for the best chance of spotting them. 🦉

Galanthus nivalis
Oh how I long for the first flowers to appear. This time last year both Galanthus and Eranthis started to emerge, but this winter they seem to be awfully delayed..
Meanwhile I'm posting art and here's a pic from last year. 🌱 #flowersonfriday

A Robin balances effortlessly on the water’s surface, one foot just barely touching a small ripple. Its wings are slightly spread, displaying soft brown and orange feathers, while its reflection shimmers in the rippling water below. The moment is full of grace, capturing the lightness of the bird in an almost dance-like motion.
A quick #FlyDay dip for this Robin!

The photo shows a close-up of the seed head of a goldenrod. The plant is visible on the left side of the image. The seeds look like stars clustered closely together. The background is dark and blurred.
There's more to see in the #forest than just trees. Magic is everywhere if you look closely ✨️
