Some botany for a change, a stunning self seeded aquilegia.

Thought I'd try and post a mammal and see if it gets more reach on Facebook than previous posts... Honestly not sure why I bother with this platform anymore.

My favorite time of year is here again! When dragons take to the sky.

Tensions run high this time of year.

The most photographed 'Leeds' owl around.

The infamous black necked grebes are the talk of the town here again.

A pair of bearded t**s sprang out of the reeds and posed on a lovely Easter morning.

Just a classically underrated bird. The house sparrow.

Adorable turnstones. They over winter with us then migrate to Greenland and Canada to breed. They've learnt to take advantage of their cute looks and are not scared of humans as they beg for scraps.

Important

Hi everyone.
The more we share information about our prickly friends the more we will know how to to help a sick looking hedgehog
Please share how important it is to help a hedgehog ASAP, when you first notice it out in the day time the hog is already sick and cold and hogs are still waking up they are cold and hungry,dehydrated,thin, have mulitple ticks,flystrike and very weak and wobbly,there chests are weak they need help as soon as you see it out dont leave them another day act quickly.
We all have something to help to first keep the hog safe like :
Pick it up gently with gloves,towel,blanket,scarf etc
Then keep it wrapped up
Put in a box,laundry bin,bucket.
Keep it warm,hot water bottle,a heatpad,an old empty plastic bottle fill with warm water,like any heat place under the bedding not directly on hog.
Dont worry about trying to see if will eat or drink,the hog is already sick.
It prob cant swallow,it cant breathe,never force feed or syringe feed,as it could go onto their lungs.leave it to the rescue.
Don't leave food or water in the box when taking to a rescue.
Keeping the hog warm and dry is more important.
By YOU just picking up the hog,wrapping it up and keeping it warm can help us to help save a hedgehog.
CALL A RESCUE the quicker you get the hog to a rescue we can examine the hog and give it the care it needs.
PLEASE SHARE and lets All be HEDGEHOG AWARE

This is the first time I've properly had a chance to watch a flock of bramblings feeding and mixing with lots of other birds, I struggled with my camera today, too slow, too bright, too far away 😏. Oh well the bramblings are pretty.

Pair of pretty long tailed t**s... Fluffy lolly pops.

A walk in the park, we don't feed the ducks, everyone feeds them we prefer to feed the corvids.

Beared Tit being hard work to photograph as usual.
