Just wanted to share a bit of spring hope from the Welsh countryside. Things feel a tiny bit more possible when you can see buds opening somehow….

Used the Merlin App from Cornel University this morning and got to hear all these beautiful bird songs. Lots I might not have noticed at all let alone identified. I’d love to learn to ID more birds by their songs this spring.

A list of birds from the Merlin bird app identified by their songs. There are fifteen birds on the list including for example Firecrest, Blackbird, Willow warbler, and Chiffchaff

Apparently today is World Bivalve Day - yay! - so here are some of the bivalves from my old shell collection. I’m hoping the IDs are correct 🤞

Just an appreciation post for my pup. When things feel bleak there’s nothing that makes me feel better than watching her explore the world, getting soggy and silly in the woods.
