Image of the top spirals of Hogwarts castle and a very small silhouette of a bird wings spread flying above. Trees on the edges of the image and cloudy blue skies

Another 2 Western Osprey biters today flying over Hogwarts. Terrible photo below! 😬 #florida

A Common Grackle - At first it seems black but then lovely colours when the light catches its feathers. #birdsseenin2026 #Florida #birds

Common Quaker with nice white definitions on a warm brown. It’s awake as the antennas are out! Small Quaker brown not great markings but you can see 3 feet sticking out! Hebrew character with its classic easy to see and ID markings. No legs on show or antennas so probably snoozing Clouded drab is looking a bit drab dull dirty brown with a darker brown zig zag across the middle. Also snoozing.

Wednesday nights moth trap rewards: Common Quaker, Small Quaker, Hebrew Character & Clouded Drab. Not bad considering I didn’t get up early to look 😬 #teammoth vc38

Sad to hear about Dennis, I think he has left a little of himself behind in all that met him. I will remember him whenever I think of the bird ringing in Ashlawn/Jubilee woods. πŸ™Œ

Volunteers clearing a small area of the woodland. Log piles being stacked & brash burning. Coffee in the flask cup and snack bar half eaten while sat on a log outdoors - always tastes great after a busy morning. Scarlet Elfcup fungi looking very red and more open that cup like in the leaf litter.

Working at Weston Wood to open up an area for butterflies today. Pleasant day, lots done, good company, coffee breaks and soaking up the good vibes from the great outdoors. #volunteer #woodlands @bcwarwickshire.bsky.social
