Got to love a Snipe 😍. Such wonderfully patterned feathers, perfect for hiding in plain sight.

I refuse to let this wet Winter get to me! Here’s an Orange Tip butterfly to cheer everybody up. It won’t be long until they’re here for real.

I know what you mean. No sooner do you get rid of January and February turns out to be as big a wash out 😔. I keep having to check that I haven’t developed webbed feet!

Well hello. Nice to hear from you 😀. I’m guessing you’ve removed X from your alphabet? 🤣

A much needed splash of colour on a dull winters day.
