Goldfinches and a Blue tit in my pond yesterday. There’s some lovely birdsong too if you watch with the sound on. #pondcam #TwitterNatureCommunity #solaceinnature #birds


Up close to Mrs Blackbird. It looks like she’s collecting nesting material from around the pond. #pondcam #TwitterNatureCommunity #birds


Chaffinches and a Blackcap in my pond at the weekend. Sound on! #pondcam #birds #TwitterNatureCommunity #solaceinnature


Chaffinches, a Blue tit and Goldfinch in my pond yesterday. You can also hear Rooks nearby. #pondcam #birds #solaceinnature #TwitterNatureCommunity


A Jackdaw having a bath yesterday. They always seem to wash their beaks/faces first. He/she briefly leaves then decides to pop back in again to finish off. Sound on! #pondcam #birds #TwitterNatureCommunity #solaceinnature


A couple of Blue tits, a Chaffinch and a brief visit by a Goldfinch caught on my #pondcam. Sound on! #birds #TwitterNatureCommunity #solaceinnature


A male Blackbird, female House Sparrow, several Chaffinches and a Blue tit in my pond yesterday. A female Blackbird arrives for a bath at the end too. Sound on! #pondcam #TwitterNatureCommunity #birds #solaceinnature


Another new species caught on my #pondcam yesterday!! A female Bullfinch. I’ve lived here for 8 years and never seen one either in the garden or locally before. #TwitterNatureCommunity #Birds @BirdsyTv

Hedgerow trees flowering today near Faversham. Cherry plum with flowers on green young twigs, and reflexed sepals and Blackthorn having smaller flowers on brown twigs and sepals that are spreading rather than reflexed. #wildflowerhour

For #wildflowerhour #violetchallenge I found Early Dog Violet today on a road verge in my village near Faversham. Pointy sepals and tiny sepal appendages distinguishing them from Sweet violets and Common dog violets respectively.

For #wildflowerhour #violetchallenge I found these, and I think they are all Sweet violets, Viola odorata, in various colours around my village near Faversham today.

A fantastic thread showing a male Stylops emerging from a solitary bee.

Felting an umbellifer was very tricky 😮but the caterpillar was so much fun - too cute! 🐛☺️

This handmade branch with wren is full of catkins which have all been wired so you can pose them with a little twist or let them hang straight. I love seeing their pops of yellow in the hedgerow & the way they shake like little lamb’s tails in the wind #needlefelted #madebyhand
