Lovely hour spent in the garden tonight, birdsong aplenty. This Blackbird was very busy getting worms and taking them to its nest. A lovely peaceful end to the day.

Lovely few hours from home up to and round the derwent reservoir this afternoon. Pied flycatcher, redstart the highlights along with hearing a cuckoo and seeing some bluebells.

Please say no to pesticides and herbicides. Cocktails of these chemicals in fields, gardens, parks, verges, community spaces are poisoning wildlife including bees, birds, hedgehogs, butterflies, beetles, frogs, damselflies, and polluting our rivers. Let's give nature a chance 🐝

More than 4 out of 10 insect species face extinction. Others are declining badly. We can help in our gardens and community spaces by not being too tidy, planting nectar-rich flowers & trees, and not using weedkillers and pesticides. More: bit.ly/2FCEJYz

I never posted much on the 'other platform' this feels so different, more accepting, more welcoming, less hateful and judgemental. I hope it stays like this. I aim to post more...gardening, nature, cooking related I imagine..oh and athletics! A random mix of my introverted life.
