Started my day with a bit of public speaking, eek! Fortunately just chatting to my eldest's nursery class about jays, showed them a few bits from my collection and they sang me the goose song in return 🎵honk honk honk🎵

So ready for October 🍄

Caper didn't want the walk to end this morning. Me either 🍂🌞

Really feels like August has put the accelerator down and is speeding us towards autumn. Sloes provide juxtaposition in name only.

Bonus Wednesday afternoon in work mode visiting beautiful Hoylake today. Energising hubub at the Biodiversity & Sustainability Celebration, accompanied by swift squeals

I know it's probably from a wet dog but I got excited imagining this was an otter footprint at Hockenhull Platts this morning

Delightful morning @wildlifefestival.bsky.social - views, soundtrack, speakers all very inspirational!

Foreboding sense of bracken in the forest this morning, felt like I only just had my head above the waves so I focused on the pinks and purples

Felt (and heard) the summer sizzle on this morning's dog walk

Closest I've ever been to a jay yesterday 😍 A pair joined our picnic with the kids at Bewilderwood. I'm sure a more lyrical description will come to me but first impression was - look at the size of 'em!

Forgot to share this. Lovely stamps on a parcel from @chiffchat.bsky.social

It amazes me how often we get this view to ourselves - looking out from Old Pale Hill over Delamere this morning

Judging by the gnawing, I think it's safe to say the squirrels are indeed the culprits

Yesterday I was asking if this littering was the work of squirrels..
