magnolias are one of my favourite spring blossoms, worth it for the one week a year they're in bloom!

a European robin standing on the end of a small branch, in dappled sunlight. there is a silver ring on its right leg

robin at #wwtslimbridge! I hardly had to edit this, the sun was glowing and he posed carefree right in front of the camera! 🪶

I love how bold robins are, they truly do not fear us the way other birds do

daylight should be saving me, Not the other way around

a photo of a footpath with a canal on the left side on a sunny day. the path approaches a bridge in the distance. there are reeds where the canal meets the ground by the path.

a photo of a beanie hat on a bench, with my hand out holding an identical beanie hat. it is a sunny day and my shadow is visible

finally, a sunny day 😮‍💨 heard a raven and saw a few long-tailed tits. also saw my hat on a bench, until I reached for my head and realised I was still wearing it and someone else has lost an identical hat!

who knows maybe you'll see the fairies next week? 😄

A White-throated Sparrow, a bird with a white belly, brown back and wings, and yellow in front of the eyes, looking straight at the camera

A White-throated Sparrow, a bird with a white belly, brown back and wings, and yellow in front of the eyes, oh and also the throat is indeed white

My latest entry in "Birds That Are Done With All That Human Nonsense": This White-throated Sparrow, which just heard about people saying that sex is binary. 🪶

this article is fascinating!! well worth a read

fantastic! I can catch up on my train rides 😎

honestly it's nice to read on days when I haven't had much opportunity to get out myself. it's hard to get people to click on links in general so don't let it discourage you

yes it's a lovely blog 😊

we do this on the RSPB livestream! anyone can post their wildlife encounters on the official discord! discord.gg/CsRBpHSN

two nēnēs (also known as Hawaiian geese). one is slightly in front of the other and facing away from the camera

Two nēnēs at WWT Slimbridge! Native to Hawai'i, and the rarest goose in the world, at one point numbering only 30 birds due to hunting and introduced predators like mongoose, pigs, and cats. Decades of conservation efforts have helped reintroduce the nēnē and native numbers are over 3,800 today 😊🪶

one of my favourite birds to see in Spain. and yes, they're fast!

thank you!

a garganey duck in the water

can't believe I've never (knowingly) seen a garganey before, look at that plumage! seen up close in the large outdoor aviary at WWT Slimbridge 🪶

they're such handsome ducks!!

I’m struggling to find my tribe on this platform. Where are all the good photographers at? Show yourselves dammit!! Here are some kōtuku ngutupapa (royal spoonbills) looking suitably unimpressed with all this.

a photo of a pied avocet, obscured by an out-of-focus redshank which has flown in front of the camera

thanks for the photobomb! redshank in the way of a pied avocet at WWT Slimbridge 🪶

This is a photo that was really too far away to capture well and share a great copy but I wanted so badly to show you the feather display of this Yellow-crowned Night Heron that I cleaned it up just enough you can see some detail. Amazing bird. 🪶

Two Great Crested Grebes in breeding plumage are seen in profile facing each other in the centre of the frame, their heads slightly board and the tips of their bills touching as they swim on the calm waters of a reservoir. They are large waterbirds about 55cm long with dark brown wings and backs, lighter between sides, white breasts and throats, long necks, a fan of chestnut and black feathers framing each side of their faces, a small black crest, white faces with small reddish eyes and long slim pointed grey bills.

Spring was in the air at Walthamstow Wetlands in London yesterday, even if it did start hailing right after I saw these Great Crested Grebes canoodling. 🪶

I got offered a job!!! my employment era is commencing! I'll have a salary and a desk and coworkers and stuff!!

I love that they each have their own spot in the line, I had no idea ducks were this organised, and basically from birth!
