Long-tailed Tits are incredibly cute and one of my favorite birds. Have been waiting for them, and today it finally happened, they visited our yard, the first time this winter 🤍

Still not done with the flu yet, I only get some three hours of sleep a night. So I am going to follow this little owl’s instructions and have an early morning nap.
See you later 🐊

Here's a Black-headed Gull contemplating life at Derwent Water, Keswick (Dec 2025)

A Lakeland view in black and white at Derwent Water, Keswick, Cumbria, England on a winters day. In the foreground is a close up of a Black-headed Gull is standing on top of a wooden jetty post, with another post each side of it. The gull is in a side profile, facing to the left of the picture. It appears to be in a peaceful, contemplative mood in harmony with the overall atmosphere of the picture. The background is blurred with the lake surrounded by fells with trees on their lower slopes.

Good morning, today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #PeacefulSolitide a singular bird, in a peaceful setting. The alt is #DramaQueens upset or angry birds. Good luck. I’m sorry I can’t comment or repost all as it’s so time consuming. So get involved community. 🙏🙏🙏 #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
A redshank stands in shallow, calm water beside a small muddy rock, its bright orange legs and straight orange-based bill contrasting with its soft brown upperparts and finely barred pale underbelly. The bird faces slightly away, showing layered feather detail and a clear pale eye ring. Its reflection appears sharply in the still blue water below, creating a near mirror image, while the simple, uncluttered background emphasises the bird’s elegant posture and vivid leg colour.

Good morning friends 🤍

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #PeacefulSolitide a singular bird, in a peaceful setting. It just had to be this one, a female Blackbird peacefully basking in the winter sun.

Have a great day 🤍

Split wood for heating piled on a wooden pallet. Shot from the bottom of the pallet looking up. Greif 50.5 is imprinted on the pallet. Greif is an industrial packaging company. There is some snow on some of the logs.

'In Spiral Carpets'

A log's cross grain appears as twisted ridges that corkscrew along its length, creating a helical pattern in the moss carpeted wood

Sparty 🙏🏼💚

This image captures a detailed and intimate perspective of a fallen, moss-covered log serving as a bridge between terrestrial and aquatic realms. The fallen giant, likely an oak or beech tree, lies horizontally across the frame, its weathered surface a complex tapestry of survival and decay. A thick, vibrant carpet of emerald-green moss clings tenaciously to the wood, its soft, velvety texture contrasting sharply with the deep, cavernous ridges and jagged, splintered grain of the ancient bark. Sunlight, filtering through an unseen forest canopy, dances across the log in a rhythmic pattern of brilliant highlights and rich, velvety shadows. To the left, the water's surface is a masterpiece of kinetic energy and light. Ripples, stirred by a gentle breeze, break the reflection of the surrounding lush greenery into a shimmering mosaic of blues, deep forest greens, and brilliant white glints. This liquid mirror reflects the overhanging branches and the vibrant foliage on the far bank, creating a sense of boundless depth and a seamless connection between the forest and the water. The clarity of the water allows a glimpse into the mysterious world below, where the submerged part of the log disappears into the dark, cool depths. To the right of the log, the water takes on a different character. Here, a dense, neon-green layer of common duckweed and algae forms a tranquil, almost solid-looking carpet. This vibrant floating garden is punctuated by the dark, emerging forms of smooth river rocks and the shadows cast by the log itself. The transition between the clear, rippling water and this still, emerald expanse is stark, highlighting the diverse micro-ecosystems coexisting within this single scene. The entire composition is framed by the soft, out-of-focus backdrop of a thriving forest, with delicate, light-catching leaves and dense, shadowy undergrowth that together create a profound sense of peace and untamed natural beauty.

For Alan’s #WinterSurvivors I chose the Wren, which in Dutch is called Winterkoninkje (king of winter). So of course it’s my no. 1. #BirdOfTheDay 🪶

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #WinterSurvivors, birds that remain throughout your winter season by @alan678.bsky.social - One of my absolute favourite birds ~ The Dartford Warbler stays in the UK all year round 😍🪶🦉 #ukbirding #birdphotography #EastCoastKin #bluesky #naturephotography
Photo taken at The New Forest ~ Hampshire UK The Dartford warbler is a small, shy, long-tailed bird, roughly the size of a wren (12-13 cm), with a slate-grey back and a distinct, deep wine-red breast. Often seen perched on gorse bushes, they have a prominent long tail usually held upright at a jaunty angle and a noticeable red eye-ring.

Ducks take advantage of a fallen tree at Talkin Tarn Country Park, Brampton, Cumbria
#talkintarn #cumbria #autumn #nature #trees #birds #photography #eastcoastkin
An autumnal view of Talkin Tarn, Talkin Tarn Country Park, Brampton, Cumbria on a bright December day. Looking from the path by the shore across the calm waters of the tarn to the trees in the distance on the opposite shore. In the middle of the picture in the shade is a fallen tree resting in the shallow blue waters of the tarn. There are ducks standing on the tree trunk and some in the water close to the tree. The sky above is hazy blue. It is reflected in the still waters of the tarn, as is the fallen tree. There are a few light ripples on the water, some from the movement of the ducks. Talkin Tarn is a kettle-hole lake formed by the immense force of glaciers 18,000 years ago. Moving ice scoured and carved the landscape leaving glacial sand hills and a natural bowl, which filled with water as the ice sheet melted. The name Talkin is derived from the Celtic 'Talcan' meaning brow of a hill. The word 'Tarn' is Norse in origin, 'Tjorn' meaning tear drop or small lake.
