An American bush tit. They’re hiding in the bush that the hummingbird loves, but this one was up in the tree briefly.

Well that weren’t too bad at all #BCCamplight #BadlyDrawnBoy #BritishBirds. I think it’s only the second time I’ve seen Damon live, which is ridiculous. Third time for Brian, first for British Birds who are (a) fantastic and (ii) from Chorley.

Here is a commission that I worked on recently. The lovely customer asked for a wren brooch. I love to embroider wrens, they’re so cute and sassy 😊 Did you know that wrens often choose to nest in ivy? I’ve embroidered this one amongst ivy leaves so she is close to her nest.
I needle felted the colours and shape first then embroidered the detail. I think it’s pretty cute 😊

An interesting visitor to our garden today. We don’t have many woodpeckers around here but suddenly we seem to have a whole flock of them. Around half a dozen all digging for food with their long beaks along the edge of our grass where there is a gap of soil between the grass and the footpath.

A European woodpecker sitting on an old wooden railway sleeper. It doesn’t have the usual bright green coat. More grey really with white spots on underbelly. It does have the distinctive red top to its head though.

Here’s another Puffin from last Sunday’s Skomer trip. This one is demonstrating how these birds can fly despite having wings that don’t look big enough: jetpacks. Puffin-sized, invisible jetpacks. The secret is out. 😉

Photo of an Atlantic Puffin (Fratercula arctica) in mid air as he or she makes a vertical descent before landing. The bird is facing towards the left of the image and slightly away from us, head looking down, body upright, feet lowered, narrow wings held out behind the body caught in mid flap. The bird is short and stocky but looks more elongated here in vertical pose; the top of the head, the neck, the back, the upper sides of the wings and the tail are black, while the sides of the face, the chest, the belly and the undersides of the wings are white. The beak, which is much taller than it is broad and triangular in shape, is blue near the base and red towards the pointed tip, with yellowish lines around the blue part and within the red part. The short legs and the webbed feet are orange. He or she might not actually be wearing an invisible jetpack, but it would explain a lot if they were.

The look of love. 🥰 A pair of Puffins on Skomer Island gazing into each other's eyes.*

* Or engaged in a staring contest and waiting to see who will blink first. 😉

Photo of two Atlantic Puffins (Fratercula arctica) standing on a ledge, looking at each other. The Puffin on the left has their back to us, and their head turned to the right. The Puffin on the right is standing with their right side towards us, and their head turned so that we see their full face. The birds have black backs, wings, tails and necks, with the tops of their heads also black while the sides of their faces are white. Their eyes are black with orange rims, and their legs and webbed feet are orange. Their colourful beaks are narrow when seen from the front, triangular in shape seen from the side. The base of the beak has a large patch of blue-grey enclosed within a pale yellow border, while the rest of the beak is red with a couple of pale yellow stripes.
