My last home had a great variety of #birds too. The delightful #TreeSparrow appeared and stayed after me buying panicum millet - ended up with 22! This little one has a love heart mark on cheek. 🏴

Siskins! 2024 was an ‘influx year’ & bird ringers caught & ringed 63,815 across the UK! This was the highest number ever recorded. 😮 Among birds caught in the UK were Siskins previously ringed as far away as Russia & the Czech Republic.

The bones of the leaves become the limbs of the trees.
Once they caught light, translating sun into nourishment.
Now stripped to veins, their quiet tracery remains — a fine scaffolding of strength.
What we call decay is creation. Nothing wasted.
In noticing, we hold this strength too. #Noticing

Beautiful #SongThrush in neighbours garden where guelder rose berries were available. This beautiful #bird frequents my garden daily too - there is a pair of them 🤎🤍.
It’s patience, stealth & playing stage hidden with camera to catch photos. I’m pleased with this one . (I use car too mobile hide)

Little ‘Jenny’ #wren #bird flew inside house when I was feeding birds & changing water. With the help of a teatowel & very gentle persuasion (I couldn’t feel her/him so light) released outside to disappear into stone wall. #wildliferescue #saferescue #wildlife
