A 'bevy of beauties' to light in the garden last night - Oak Beauty Biston strataria, Brindled Beauty Lycia hirtaria and Pale Brindled Beauty Phigalia pilosaria. Buckfastleigh, Devon

The frogs are croaking again tonight after a break during the frosty nights!

Close pass Peregrine Falcon today #birds #isleofman

The first of several staring contests I had with Berlin's urban Goshawks today. Being a loser never felt so good 😍 @yorkscoastnature.bsky.social

Very much enjoying the mashup of Black Sabbath’s Symptom of the Universe x Yellowhammer song on RadMac’s 6 Music show this morning.

I quite like this photo! Good to see some big bumblebees enjoying tree pollen this afternoon.

With some frosty nights predicted this week and into next, is anyone else wondering how their #frogspawn will cope and what, if anything, to do? 🥶

My finished Fieldfare and Snowdrops linoprint. On a cold January night I read that the word Fieldfare means 'traveller through the fields' and that, plus a longing for the first signs of Spring, the Snowdrops, kindled the idea of this print. handmadebyhaggy.etsy.com/listing/1884...

This could be the winner of the handsomest frog competition (if there were such a thing) 👑

Frog numbers in our garden pond are now somewhere around the 60 mark, and they are very noisy. So noisy that @rjyouell.bsky.social popped round to record them! Listen here: on.soundcloud.com/42A92uNiQy7V... @froglife.bsky.social

My lovely frogs have been busy. Today I was working from home and was able to count at least 50 frolicking in the sunshine.

More recent barn owls

Woohoo!! First garden moth of tge year and it's a beaut. Oak Beauty 😊

We now have seven clumps of spawn in our little pond. 🐸

11 days after the first frogs appeared, we finally have some spawn! It was quite cold last night but the croaking was loud. Report your spawn here: freshwaterhabitats.org.uk/advice-resou...

Our garden frogs are giving it their all tonight, despite it being a clear and cold night. Will there be spawn by morning…?

I really needed some fresh air and nature today, and the reeds and water at Ouse Fen looked beautiful. Bittern, bearded tits, marsh harriers, buzzards, reed buntings and a stonechat all helped too 😊

Frogs are back in town! Numbers had increased to about 20 in our garden pond this morning. Most hide when they spot me, but occasionally one cooperates for close-up phone photos.

Went to Lackford Lakes today. I remarked that we hadn’t seen a marsh tit during our visit (we usually do). And then we did see one coming to the feeders outside the cafe - it had some white in its tail 😔

Today I have seen seven male frogs in our pond (the first for a while) and a pipistrelle on the wing at dusk. Spring is coming!

I wasn't expecting to see birds on this trip, but there were a few European Shags dotted on the cliffs at Arnarstapi today. What beautiful birds they are! #lceland

☀️ I could barely believe it but the SUN came out for a short time at Ouse Fen this afternoon. It showed itself for longer than the bittern or the bearded tits did, though.

How different birds would act on a first date...a thread. (From us to you this #ValentinesDay) 💕👇

Look at the size of the footprint from a White tailed eagle 🦅😳 the eagle had landed on the beach in the distance to eat a bird. This is the size of its footprint left in the sand, compared to my size 5 😳 what an amazing sight to see in the wild #OuterHebrides

Thanks to @haggytea.bsky.social for bringing #PrintPromptMonday to my attention! Here’s a #SuperbOwl - ok, a Short-eared Owl - linocut print made on lovely yellow handmade paper. #IntoTheWild

I just wrote a quick bit about 'genuinely contributing.' (This time with a working link) mrhenrymorris.substack.com/p/genuinely-...

Edward Lear’s illustration of an Eagle owl, definitely a #SuperbOwl. From John Gould’s ‘Birds of Europe’ (1837), vol. 1. MH.6.1 @theul.bsky.social
