A beautifully written descriptive piece of writing, flushed with poetic observations on the Pied Wagtail by @levparikian.bsky.social Our #WarrenFarmNR Skylarks receive a songful mention here in Ealing🪺🎶🐦⬛A Joyous read💚

Country diary: From the pavilion end, a pied wagtail

Beautiful songful Linnets can always be seen nesting around our #WarrenFarmNR rewilded Brownfield area🐦⬛🪺Their population has sadly plummeted causing them to join our Skylarks on the UK Red-List as a species of high conservation concern😔LNR status will safeguard many lives that thrive here💚 #bird
