Stripe of turquoise sky;
Jackdaws snuggle together,
Watch the storm clouds pass.

Just making the final preparations. 😊

I'll be there 10.30am - 4pm Saturday & Sunday, with lots of lovely #gifts on offer, plus Stella the Sprout #Christmas cards!
I will be at #SuttonBank Visitor Centre this weekend, alongside other lovely local makers, with a selection of cards & gifts, & working on some #drawings.

Why not come along and bag some unique #presents, or a treat for yourself, and also see how the magic happens! 😊🎄

Colour-ringed Curlew at Teesmouth today - any ideas what project may have done this? I’ve looked on Eu-ring but find it hard to interpret. Seems a lot of rings for one bird!

- You must be available at least some of Jan 3-7
- This call is open to Portland-area artists (we don't have funding to support travel to Portland, & we want to connect with the Portland art community).

We're scientists - this is a bit of an experiment!

'Ні everyone ☺️👋 I’m raising money for charity by selling prints and cards of my artwork. They look exactly like my paintings! If you have a chance to look that would mean a lot, every card really makes a difference ❤️

Last week on the North York Moors (Northeast England) - before the weather turned! The freezing cold will probably finish off most of the fungi; hopefully the birds will move out of the worst of it🤞

The geese flew, high-pitched, urgent,
Crying the winter.

Any suggestions as to what this is? Came across it last night when tidying up my photos. Taken in Suffolk in May '23, probably on Westleton Heath. Obsid. comes up with Tortrix sp., which is about as far as I'd managed #teammoth

This is a really terrible photo and I am not expecting anyone to ID it, I am just curious about what types of small moths would be about on the edge of the North York Moors in (admittedly, a mild) November?
