Day 11 | seagull

When me and my pals were in Cornwall earlier in the year, a load of seagulls rushed my friend & stole her ice cream. They then came back for the cone! It really felt like a planned attack lol.

This one goes out to all those who've lost food from an overhead attack.

#peachtoberday10 is critter! Here's a little hazel dormouse all tucked up, having a cosy snooze. They spend most of their lives asleep!

#peachtober day 8, leaf! 🍁🍂

I love walking over autumn leaves and hearing them crunch underfoot. I will absolutely move to step on a crunchy leaf.

Leaves leaves leaves, can't leaf em alone. Hope you like the little ladybird. Did you know we have 47 species of ladybird in the UK?!

Day 7 | strawberry

Is there anything better than strawberries when they're in season? So sweet and delicious. 🍓

I'll be dreaming of strawberries now...

Do you have a favourite fruit?

Something a little bit different! This was years ago and I'd kind of forgotten about it but it was a really nice day, and the prompt reminded me of it.

Fly agaric/amanita muscaria 🍄 the classic (most easily recognisable?) mushroom. I do love them, they look magical.

Exploring woodlands at this time of year is the BEST. You never know which treasures you might find hidden amongst the leaves and on the trees.

Cosy fox!
I thought I'd share some nice things from this week:
✨️ I took a photo of a rainbow, then a woman came over to me smiling about how she'd seen me taking it
✨️ I saw a woman laughing while collecting lots of conkers
✨️ a work friend has given me damsons so I'm going to bake a crumble

Did you know that a group of goldfinches is called a 'charm'? 🥰✨

Look out for these charmers as they gather together in larger groups from this month onwards – another lovely sign of #NatureInFlux 🐦
