A delicate Skylark paused on the sun-lit ground, its warm brown streaked plumage blending beautifully with the earthy tones around it. A classic little songster of open country.

It's time for #HolidayRobin and it's Ronnie Robin who has turned up today, he was captured @rspbburtonmere.bsky.social earlier in the year. He was happy to pose as long as food was on offer, so i had no option but to give him some.

In cold weather, I like things that give me warmth the most, and since expressing love is important, I hug the radiator. Hugging has incredible power, which can change our emotional state and well-being every day and has a positive effect on our body and soul. 🐈‍⬛

Some good news about birds and window collisions 👍
NOW, FOR SOME GOOD NEWS
In '23, a full-page ad in the Chicago Tribune proclaimed: “One Night. One Building. 1,000 #Birds Dead.” The skyscraper applied dots to its windows -- and it's working!
