Hah! I knew that pie-crust hat was familiar. The Holkham bible of course, have seen illustrations from it before. Fascinating news on the dating

I am disappointed that no Shore Larks have been viewable at Holkham Gap this winter, but there is still time! Fortunately, there has been a small group reported on Pakefield Beach, Suffolk, near the Coastwatch site. Access is tricky but I did spot five birds today. 1/2

Midnight in a Manger
In the glow of a medieval night, long before flashy pageantry, someone painted a Nativity that feels very alive. Here, the Holy Family is rendered not in the pale homogeneity of later European convention but in rich, varied tones. 🧶

A comparison of Hume’s Leaf Warbler (Wells Woods), left, and Yellow-browed Warbler (Holkham), right, from the last two days. Subtle but distinctive differences between these two similar Phylloscopus species supported by their quite different calls. #NorfolkBirding

Hume’s Leaf Warbler is a variable bird. The 3 currently inhabiting Holkham NNR all look different. The two I found on 16th: a grey/greenish rather scruffy bird (top left), & a buff/cream clean bird (top right) & Ash Saunders’ Wells bird is grey with contrasting green secondary edges #NorfolkBirding

Ouch, not good. Hope it mends quickly. I'm OK thanks, i don't seem to find the time for taking the camera out so mainly phone pics. I've been retired for 2 years but now growing cut flowers and dried and it's manic 😂 just went and helped florists set up a room at holkham hall for their Xmas tours 🎄

What's interesting is these shepherds are "every man" w/ a bit of humor. Caught off guard they're wide-eyed & booted, sort of in their "huh, what's happening?" stance.
This colorway captures the lively contrast: a striped poinsettia red recalls the warmth of hearths, cloaks, & firelit cheeks;

In illuminated mss, shepherds are often the first witnesses to wonder, they're caught mid-gesture as celestial light breaks across winter fields. In this image their garments, streaked with mineral blues, cool greens, and flashes of red, glow against soft hillside pastures.

11/ Lastly it's good to see that the Holkham Estate have now joined the National Estate for Nature group - where the brilliant @jakefiennes.bsky.social works his magic over 25,000 acres of Norfolk.
That means 3 large private estates are now members - and hopefully more will join in future.

Local to me would be Holkham. Other than that, Fesdu island in the Maldives. That may change, though, when I go to NZ in January. 😁😁😁
