Today's lockdown drawing is a Puffin flying over Lundy Island (whose stamps I used to collect as a kid). You're welcome. xx @LandmarkTrust @nationaltrust @RSPBEngland

Morning birders. Today's #BirdyOfTheDay is our most populous water fowl: the Mallard. And as it's #ShakespearesBirthday here's Pericles (Act 3):

...the grisled north
Disgorges such a tempest forth,
That, as a duck for life that dives,
So up and down the poor ship drives.

Happy #EarthDay lockdown birders. Today's #BirdyOfTheDay is the effervescent and iridescent Kingfisher. And as we're celebrating some #WednesdayWisdom I also give you the equally frothy verse of Gerard Manley Hopkins. Love to all. xx

Morning lockdown birders. How about a good old sing-song:

Sumer is icumen in
Lhude sing cuccu
Groweþ sed
and bloweþ med
and springþ þe wde nu
Sing cuccu.

Have you guessed today's #BirdyOFTheDay? I call this one Alan (after The Whicker Man). Stay safe. xx

Good morning lockdown birders. Today's #BirdyOfTheDay is Britain's favourite: the Robin redbreast. As Emily Dickinson put it:

If I shouldn't be alive
When the robins come,
Give the one in red cravat
A memorial crumb.

I call this one Bert Ward obvs. Stay safe . xx

Morning lockdown birders. Today's #BirdyOfTheDay was requested by @MrsTrevithick who wanted another corvid (and why not?). So here's a good old Cornish Chough (*pace* Wales). I'm quite chuffed with it. Stay safe and take Kernow ('care now'... geddit?... oh forget it!). xx

Good morning lockdown birders. Today's #BirdyOfTheDay is a member of the flycatcher (Muscicapidae) family, the lovely Redstart. And seeing one of these fellas is always a good start to the day! Stay safe. xx

Morning lockdown birders. Today's #BirdyOfTheDay is the 'nightingale of the north', the mellifluous Blackcap. A small warbler with a mighty song, an avian Jimmy Somerville. I call this one Bronsky because he’s hard to beat. Stay safe. xx

Happy Easter lockdown birders. Without today's #BirdyOfTheDay you wouldn't have easter eggs or easter chicks. It's a big fat easter hen, a Sussex Light. I name this one Ed, after me, for I am, at heart, a chicken.! I've also chucked in a Tortoiseshell butterfly as a free gift. xx

Morning lockdown birders. Very excited to find a Long-Tailed Tit's nest in the park where we take our daily constitutional. So today's #BirdyOfTheDay is the Long-Tailed Tit, the longest tailed of all the tits... I call this one Anna Karenina, one of the longest tales I know. xx
