First bird of my day: a pair of starlings perched on a pair of chimneypots, their winter plumage matching the sky above. #FirstBirdOfMyDay

First bird of my day: a small flock of starlings dashing across the sky to their feeding ground. #FirstBirdOfMyDay

First bird of my day: pink-footed geese, barely visible in the morning fog, honking loudly as they flew over the house. #FirstBirdOfMyDay

Thanks. I've only ever seen pictures of individuals like yours, so wasn't sure if they were found in huge clumps.

That's interesting. I'm still getting to know the bird habits as I moved house recently. There are fields across the road and a disused quarry where the jackdaws spend a lot of their time during the day - as well as the rooftops of the houses!

The dawn sky full of orange and pink clouds, with the silhouette of Ingleborough in the distance.

Sunrise over Ingleborough. View from the kitchen window of my new house. Happy Saturday! #dawn #weather

First bird of my day: jackdaws! Hundreds of them filling the sky as they left their roost, the dawn sky glowing orange behind them. Worth getting up early on a Saturday! #FirstBirdOfMyDay

Can anyone confirm the identity of this fungus? #FungusFriday

First bird of my day: a black jackdaw against a grey, morning sky. Again. #FirstBirdOfMyDay

Jackdaws are fast becoming FBOMD too! They are always on the neighbouring rooftops!

Enjoy your new home! I've just moved house and have been very surprised at the change in bird life here!

Even closer-up view of the fungus.

If photos could smell, this one would stink! This fungus had a putrid, rotting stench as I walked past. The Seek app identified it as jelly-ear fungus, but I'm not so sure. #fungusfriday

That's what I pictured when I first read it! 😄

Ah! Thank you!

Having a fleg? That's new to me!

First bird of my day: a wood pigeon atop an oak tree, closely followed by a crow in a neighbouring tree, cawing loudly as if to tell me of its presence. #FirstBirdOfMyDay

First bird of my day: a chacking jackdaw flying low over the garden. #FirstBirdOfMyDay

I've just singlehandedly shifted a ton of hardcore from my drive to the bottom of my garden. One spade and two cheap buckets were all I needed. No need to go to the gym today! 💪

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

First bird of my day: another black bird on another neighbour's roof - this time it was a crow. #FirstBirdOfMyDay

Petition: Ban cheap renewable energy from being charged at the price of expensive gas Mandate energy providers to stop charging the same price as expensive gas for much cheaper renewable energy. We think they should pass any savings on to consumers, rather than keeping them as profit.

Please sign my petition to detach the price of renewable electricity from the wholesale cost of gas - pass the savings back to the people, not shareholder pockets as profit petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...

I know that feeling! 😄

Just look at those doors! The main entrance to Canterbury Cathedral. #cathedrals #craftmanship

First bird of my day: a crow standing on the turret of a medieval tower, as its ancestors have done for generations. #FirstBirdOfMyDay

First bird of my day: the mellifluous tones of the resident robin singing high up in the silver birch. A woodpigeon preening itself on the neighbour's roof. #FirstBirdOfMyDay
