The scrubland by our river has been completely razed. Feeling a little confused as this was a haven for wildlife. @lukebmtb.bsky.social do you know anything about this area of land? Ownership etc? @ouseadurrt.bsky.social @wsccnews.bsky.social @sussexwildlife.bsky.social

Beautiful 5km run. Spotted two of my favourite birds, Kingfishers, along the river. I am so grateful to be able to get out and enjoy where we live.

9km run this morning. Glorious sunshine North and South. An absolute bonus was watching a stunning Kingfisher catching breakfast. The photo does not do it justice. @sussexwildlife.bsky.social

An afternoon stroll along the river and we spotted another Kingfisher, plus this deer by Bramber Brooks and what I think is a Hawk Moth. #moths #SouthDowns

This morning, the hawthorn was full of life: robin, blue tit, long tailed tits, blackbird and….I’m not sure of the bird in the 3rd picture (warbler?). Does anyone know? #birdwatching

Came across this incredible tree today and it reminded me of one of my favourite recent reads ‘The Hidden Life of Trees’ by @peter-wohlleben.bsky.social Nature is incredible.
