Here's another photo of yesterday's Mr. Grumps looking much happier for today's #HolidayRobin - #FestiveDailyRobin ~ 🪶 🦉 #birdingWales #ukbirding #naturephotography #birdphotography #robin
A robin can be described to someone partially sighted by focusing on its sounds, feel, and a simplified visual outline of its shape and colours. It is a small bird with a distinctive orange-red chest, a soft chirping song, and a round, plump shape. You can touch its soft feathers to give a tactile sense of the bird and its lightness. It has a cheerful and varied song that is often described as a series of liquid, fluting notes, like a sweet, bubbling stream. It also makes sharp "tuk" or "tick" sounds, especially when it's alarmed or calling to other robins. You can hear the soft rustle of its wings as it flies and the light patter of its feet on the ground. A robin's feathers are very soft and light. You could compare the feeling to a fluffy piece of wool or a very soft, downy material. It has a plump, round body with a short tail. Imagine a soft, plump ball with a short, stubby tail attached. Its head is rounded and small. It's about the size of a small fist. The most striking feature is the bright orange-red on its chest, which feels warm and stands out against the other colours. You can imagine a bright, warm spot of colour on the front of its body. The rest of its back and head are a soft, dull greyish-blue or brown, which you could describe as feeling like a soft, warm stone or a wet pebble after a rain shower.

I know it's Monday ☹️ but just smile as it's #MallardMonday 😃 ~ Photo taken on the canal at Forest Farm Nature Reserve, Cardiff, South Wales 🪶 🦉 #birdingWales #ukbirding #ukwildlife #naturephotography #birdwatching #birdsky #birdphotography #BirdLife #PhotographyIsArt #duck
A drake mallard is a large, male duck with vibrant green iridescent feathers on its head that shine and feel smooth to the touch, like polished metal. It has a dark, ringed neck, a white collar, and a warm, brown chest and body that is soft and feels like velvet or a smooth, furry cloth. The drake's bill is dull yellow-orange, like a ripe tangerine, and its feet and legs are a contrasting, slightly sticky orange-red. When it moves, you may feel a vibration through the ground as it waddles, and if it swims, the water may feel cool and slick against your hand. The sound of its quack is loud and distinct, like a trumpet, though this may not be audible to some individuals with hearing impairments.

The decimation of the trees this GSW needs continues more needless felling by @networkrail
