If not supposed to eat raw elder berries, why so delicious???

I suppose it would be weird if I was hearing them with someone else's ears 😬

NaturNaomi @naturnaomi.bsky.social · Aug 2

Bats! Being able to hear them with my own ears (sans detector) is such a privilege and something I frequently forget about when around traffic and other urban noise 🦇

I wonder why this hedgehog is behind bars... 🤭

A photograph of a hedgehog behind a fence with a graphic "parole denied". It appears as though the hedgehog is in jail. A smaller caption at the bottom of the image reads, "They were free to roam, obviously"

I had such an awesome time at @globalbirdfair.bsky.social this year 🌟 This time I took part in a podcast, a panel discussion, and chose some tunes for folks to enjoy during the evenings. It was so awesome to catch up with friends and to make some new ones! 💖

We commissioned an expert legal opinion that concludes the Government's assertion that the Planning & Infrastructure Bill 'would not reduce the level of environmental protection provided by existing law' is "obviously wrong as a matter of law". #PlanningBill

maybe the best method I’ve found for waking up early is to turn off my alarm the night before and clearly state, “I can’t wait to sleep in tomorrow.”

I wonder if the farmers who go on about what a "threat" birds of prey are to their lambs are the same farmers who slice all their lambs' tails off on a random Wednesday afternoon... 🤔
