My new area has so many new neighbours! We seem to have multiple groups of these birds, and I learnt that these are house sparrows. They are very chatty! I love waking up in the morning to hearing them chirping away in the surrounding bushes and trees. Males tend to have a grey cap, chestnut … Continue reading Floof Friday

As a city girl for most of my life, I am not used to seeing birds of prey in my area. I have now moved to a more rural area, and my noisiest neighbours are now the flock of red kits that live in the area. They are stunning! I don't think I will ever … Continue reading Floof Friday

Spring is well and truly here in the UK, and nothing marks the coming of Spring more than new life in nature. The resident moorhen eggs have begun hatching and the fluffy chicks are just too much cuteness to handle! T xxx

It's nearly chick season!! I have been seeing so many nests being built in my local area, including this sweet lady in a very cosy nest* along my local canal. I love seeing all of the new life that comes both spring, including the obscenely adorable baby water fowl along the rivers and canals. T … Continue reading Floof friday

The robins are out in full force at the moment, putting on quite the concert with all of their singing. I spotted this little one looking ultra fluffy in the cold morning sunshine, singing away on his little branch. He's also just very round in these pictures...the perfect fluffy ball. T xxx

Following on from my previous post, I thought everyone would appreciate this pigeon, having a little rest in a sunbeam in St James's Park. Rest assured, he was behind a metal fence so that no one could accidentally stand on him, and no one was reaching over to bother him. We watched him rummage around … Continue reading Floof friday
The birds at St James’s Park London
It was my birthday recently and since the weather was (surprisingly!) beautiful still here in the UK, I decided to be a tourist for the day and check out all of these places that I have never been to in London. St James's Park is beautiful, and right by Buckingham Palace and the Horse Guards, … Continue reading The birds at St James’s Park London

Seems this area of my local canal is the bird hang out spot... I believe we've got a heron, some Canadian geese, a magpie (?) and a couple ducks. This also doesn't show the swans and cygnets that I saw a little further along, nor the many different groups of ducks that I saw - … Continue reading Floof Friday

I have been trying to get a picture of these guys for ages, but I only ever seem to see them when they are flying above me, or they spot me close by and immediately hide away. But on my long run the other day I was able to enjoy a very quiet run down … Continue reading Floof Friday
