Important! A particularly floofy-looking Great Tit just landed in your feed. 📷 @aintright.bsky.social

A Great Tit perches on a mossy branch, its yellow chest puffed out like a tiny feathery balloon. Black and white markings frame its bright eyes, giving it a curious expression. Its fluffed-up feathers make it look extra round - keeping warm or just showing off? Either way, it's landed in your feed for a cosy little visit!

Heartbreaking: Right now, thousands of Puffins are washing up along our coasts and further afield. It is devastating to see. These birds are Red-listed in the UK and already under serious pressure. Mass deaths like this, known as a “seabird wreck”, can take years for colonies to recover from...

A dead Puffin lies on wet sand, its black and white feathers darkened and slick against the beach. The bird rests on its side, wings folded, with its distinctive orange bill clearly visible against the pale sand.

Just finished reading Bernard MacLaverty’s ‘Grace Notes’. Spellbinding, brilliant, lyrical, majestic - left it late but so glad to have found this author. @bernardmaclaverty.bsky.social
