I consider myself primarily a dragonfly lover, so it is with great pain that I post this shocking image of an evil Pied Wagtail for the #bugsinbeak theme by the very cruel @alan678.bsky.social for today's #BirdoftheDay.

Our colleague Ion captured this lovely redpoll at Grafton Wood over the weekend. 🪶❤️
So named because of the bright red patch on their forehead, redpolls, along with siskins, are our smallest finches and also among the darkest in plumage.

Nature, love and creativity...antidotes to strange times. Well worth a watch with a mug of cocoa
This beautiful, funny, warm, clever animated mockumentary made me laugh and cry in equal measure — BBC iPlayer has Marcel The Shell With Shoes On for only a short while, so watch it soon!
It’s suitable for kids, but it’s absolutely worth watching as an adult

Every so often I venture south of the border, and Day 11 of my botanical #adventcalendar is the amazing Large-flowered Butterwort - native to SW Ireland, but occasionally introduced in England, including this population in Edale
