A Sting in The Tale, My Adventures with Bumblebees - Dave Goulson. 
Rebirding - Benedict MacDonald.

A day late for #WorldBookDay but I’d like to sing the praises of Audio Books.
Tried them to encourage my Mum whose failing eyesight stopped her reading. We both love them. I put my headphones on and get my chores done while listening.
A Sting in The Tale was excellent, just started Rebirding.

Large black bird with a red bill and red legs, standing on a cliff edge.

Watching Choughs, and a pasty lunch.

Blue and orange bird with a long pointy bill, perched in a tree.

Sun streaming in the kitchen window this morning. The male Blackcap in the tree, and a glimpse (phone shot) of the Kingfisher on the way to work. A good day.

No worries. 😊

I did wonder about that, and why the publication date kept moving. All very odd.
I can see that so much work has gone into the book, I hope that it doesn’t ruin it for her.

The publication date on this Helm guide kept going back, very happy that it arrived today.

Small plump grey and brownish bird with a black head cap. Perched in a tree, green leaves around.

The male Blackcap came back this afternoon. Still a murky day, and still through the kitchen window, but I’m well happy with this shot. 🪶

Pine tree whip planted in the grass, wooden stake next to it. Wooden stake, spade, Birch and Alder tree whips, laying on the grass.

Been volunteer tree planting this morning as part of the Cornwall Council Forest for Cornwall.
I planted some Alder, Birch, Hawthorn, and Pines but other species were planted too.

Small plump, shades of grey and a little brown, bird with black head cap. Perched in a tree.

Miserable light, but managed to grab my camera quick enough to get a shot of this male Blackcap through the kitchen window. Day made! 🪶
