The alt theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #BirdsBeingBirds - here we have a robin singing on a fence post, and three magpies arguing on the way home from the pub! #birds #nature #photography

Great Crested Grebe and Kingfisher - both seen @wwtworldwide.bsky.social in Barnes, West London earlier this week. Poor light conditions but these have come out OK - I think?! #BirdOfTheDay #DivingForFood #nature #photography #birds

How about this - a skylark not even a metre away from me! #BirdOfTheDay #BirdsAndBugs I turned a corner and there it was. I retreated slowly, turned away and off it went 💚 #photography #bird #nature

The alt theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #blurred - I took a few skylark in flight photos last summer - they're all a bit wobbly on the wings - but I like 'em! #nature #bird #photography

Such a good read - so good in fact, that the LP in the story became an actual real thing - fantastic!!
Dear new followers. I've removed the paywall permanently from this piece, which is a chapter from my novel Villager, told entirely in the form of an online village message board. If you like it, you'll probably like the book. If you don't, you won't...

The Village Message Board
Its authenticity was discredited because of his reputation, but also because he was quick with gin at the time and wearing an item of knitwear back to front.

A little watercolour doodle - no matter how mindless I feel when dabbling like this - the end result often turns to ‘The Path’ - where walking becomes art and vice versa. #art #watercolour #purple #blue
