"But I don't wanttt to go back to work..."

#MondayMotivation
A Robin stands on vibrant green moss, its head tilted dramatically to one side, wide-eyed and curious. Its bright orange chest seems to puff out slightly as if mid-protest, while its gaze meets the viewer with an adorably pleading look. The pose perfectly captures the mood of someone reluctantly facing the return to work after a cosy winter break - with a hint of stubborn charm.

Happy New Year! 🌅

It's 2026 - what’s your new year's resolution?

Ours is to continue protecting our spectacular wildlife.

Here’s to a year filled with nature & conservation wins!

A Redwing hovers mid-air with wings outstretched, reaching up to snatch a yellow berry from a bare winter branch. Its pale cream eyebrow stands out above a dark eye, with fine streaking across its buff chest and warm brown upperparts set against a soft grey sky.

A female Blackbird steps across a snow-covered branch, holding a bright red berry in her beak. Snowflakes fall around her, holly leaves and clusters of red berries framing the scene, giving the whole moment a festive, wintry feel.

A fabulous #FlyDay full of festive feathered flair!
A Robin hovers gracefully mid-air, its wings fully outstretched and delicate feathers fanned against a soft winter sky. Its bright orange-red breast contrasts beautifully with the muted backdrop in a moment of quintissential winter magic.

POV: You try and have a nice game of Monopoly

📷 Paul Browning
Two Starlings face off in an intense standoff, beaks wide open as though mid-argument. Their glossy, speckled plumage shimmers with iridescent greens and purples, but their flared wings and sharp postures steal the show. One bird leans forward, as if shouting, while the other appears just as indignant...capturing the chaos when tensions soar and everyone takes the game a little too seriously.

Deck the halls with boughs of holly! Fa-la-la-la-laa!

Everybody up! It's Christmas week! 🎄

#MondayMotivation
A Robin stands on a snow-dusted branch, feathers puffed up against the cold. Its beak is open mid-call, looking as if it’s loudly singing carols to announce the start of Christmas week to the whole garden!

There's a little magic to December evenings... ✨

Is nature looking festive where you are? Share your Sunday snaps with us. 👇
A Starling sits silhouetted on a bare winter branch at dusk, its shape outlined against a deep blue December sky. Soft yellow fairy lights glow through the surrounding twigs, giving the scene a quiet, festive sparkle as the bird watches the fading light.

Happy Winter Solstice - and Happy #NationalRobinDay!

What better bird to cheer up the shortest day? Reply with your favourite snaps of these beloved garden friends...

Let's fill our feeds with Robins. 😍
A Robin perches proudly on a snow-dusted wooden post, its bright orange-red breast glowing like a beacon of warmth against the frosty, pale winter backdrop. With its feathers fluffed against the cold and beak open in song, this little garden friend perfectly captures the timeless winter cheer of Robins on #NationalRobinDay.

When the first tin of chocolates is opened...

Happy #FlyDay!
Several Red Kites gather in a tight knot on a grassy field while others swoop down to join them, wings crossing and bodies jostling as if everyone arrived at the same time for the same reason.

Today, the UK Government’s Planning Bill became law – a big blow for wildlife.

Thousands of you fought for nature as the Bill passed through Parliament.

Now, this isn’t the time to stay silent – nature needs us more than ever.

Colourful lights, presents by the tree, a snowman taking shape...our winter woodland is looking ever so Christmassy! 🎄

But who's waiting behind door 18?

Absolutely shocking.

We're offering an overall award of £10k for information that leads to a conviction in these cases.

We need to make raptor persecution a thing of the past.

A Goldfinch perches delicately atop a pine tree, its vivid red face, black-and-white crown, and golden feathers glowing against the blurred green backdrop. It tilts its head to one side, looking slightly puzzled, as if wondering what all the fuss is about. The star, after all, is right where it should be...perched proudly on top of the tree.

Launching into the weekend, Waxwing style.

Happy #FlyDay!

📷 @manxmannin.bsky.social
A Waxwing cuts through the crisp winter air, its wings tucked elegantly against its sleek body as it powers forward. The smooth chestnut-brown feathers shimmer softly, offset by a dramatic black mask and a delicate crest atop its head. Bold white wing bars and the vivid yellow tip of its tail glow against the bright blue sky, while a flash of crimson on its wings catches the eye like a brushstroke of colour. The bird’s motion feels effortless yet purposeful, as though launching itself joyfully into the weekend.
