I don't think I will ever get tired of seeing these red kites in my area. We have quite a large flock of them which nest in a small woodland area at the end of my street, and even though they can be seen circling the houses all hours of the day, I still find … Continue reading Floof friday

Look at this absolute unit of a pigeon! Nearly half the size of the actual table! I am truly surprised my flimsy bird table was able to support him because he was big!

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
