Ten perfect minutes with a wintering blackcap in Inch Park this morning. Picking berries, eating berries, and wiping her beak - pick, eat, wipe, repeat - the whole time I was watching her 🥰

Winter is here! Hair Ice in a Midlothian woodland this morning. Formed on dead wood, mainly beech. Even found a group of Rosy Bonnets (Mycena rosea) looking after a little bit of it. #ExidiopsisEffusa #Fungi #Nature #Photography #Nikon

A very vocal robin that I drew based on a great reference photo by @glenisilla.bsky.social
I did most of it on one layer as I like to feel I am drawing in my art pad. Hope to do a festive background.
