A very big gull, flying high above the hedge. I thought at first glance it was a red kite it was so big. Probably herring or greater black backed. #FirstBirdOfMyDay

#OnThisDay -today! Another date when I havenβt got a single photo in my files, other than the electricity meter and the home WiFi wireless key. Here is one I took today: a side table/log holder, hand made by my son for his Auntie. π

Oh Iβve missed the skylarks. #FirstBirdOfMyDay was two rooks pacing out the verges around our local maccies. I love the way they swagger along in their baggy pantaloons.

I love pied wagtails. They are such jolly little birds and they remind me of summers spent watching my kids play cricket. There is always a wagtail toddling around on the outfield. π

Mine was a magnificent red kite, soaring over my garden, seen out of my bedroom window. I was in the middle of a panic attack and seeing it stopped it in its tracks. Nature is wonderful. #FirstBirdOfMyDay

Let me know how you get on with the Ashwaghandha. I have chronic pain too. It can be exhausting when itβs bad, canβt it. Hope itβs not too bad for you today. X

#FirstBirdOfMyDay was a male blackbird pottering about in the garden. The sun is coming out on and off and it feels a little bit spring like here in Norfolk.
