Trainee Blue Tit
It’s not just yesterday’s young blackbirds that are getting the hang of getting their own food – the young Blue Tits are also making an appearance. This one was so intent on eating the blackfly, that he ended up hanging by his feet from the leaf! Not the most elegant of angles to eat from,…

A Tribe of Blackbirds
You might spot one young Blackbird in the garden, and very rarely two at the same time, but this morning we spotted three youngsters in the garden together! Judging by the amount of moss being thrown off the roof, we’re assuming that at least one of the adult Blackbirds was sitting on the roof, trying…

Radish Flowers
My radish experiment failed spectacularly – the only radish plant to grow, has flowered and has not produced a radish! I hadn’t expected the flowers to look quite so pretty though. The flowers didn’t last long before starting to fade, but it’s slightly made up for the lack of radishes from those seeds! #staywild

Definitely a day for cloudspotting
The weather conditions were obviously perfect for some unusual cloud formations this afternoon. The clouds started off stripey, but soon changed…. I’m assuming a plane’s had flown through this cloud, leaving a dark shadow showing its route! #staywild

Night Sky
Looking towards the north tonight, there was a glow from the sunlight (as crazy as that sounds, it doesn’t get fully dark to the north until later, despite it being dark here at that point!). I thought I’d try taking a photo, as there was a strangely red glow to the clouds and sky. I didn’t want…

Evening Skies
The sky wasn’t an intense red at sunset, but there was a nice ambery orange glow to the clouds towards the north. #30dayswild

Ever tried taking a photo of a fast moving small bird?
If there’s one disadvantage of trying to take a photo of those rapidly moving small birds, it’s how swiftly they fly! After multiple photos of just a clear blue sky where it had flown out of the shot, and others that were just a blur as it changed direction as I took the photo, I got lucky.…

The local Robin
The neighbourhood robin has made an appearance again. Not content with just flying down onto the grass while it’s being cut (you need eyes in the back of your head to make sure he stays safe!), he’s been checking over the other gardens for some tasty insects. I’m assuming he has a family to feed,…

It’s a day for preening
I will admit that I’ve never spotted crows preening before, so I was surprised that these two were just happily perched like this on a nearby roof for quite so long. #30dayswild
