Nearly time. How will you #biggardenbirdwatch? . I'll be doing it in watercolour if you fancy joining me, tag your sketches with #BGBWsketchalong. A relaxing hour, watching, counting and sketching. #citizenscience #wildlifegarden #wilderfuture #wildlifefriendly
Join me on 25-27th Jan for an hour counting and sketching your garden birds for the #biggardenbirdwatch. #BGBWsketchalong Today's bird is the #woodpigeon, a regular garden visitor often heard asking for 'more tea please Betty'. #sketchingtolearn
Blue Tit in todays countdown to @Natures_Voice #BigGardenBirdWatch and #BGBWsketchalong Putting up feeders is great to supplement our garden birds. But you can also help by not using weedkiller, or slug pellets and planting trees and plants that attract natural food.

#Inktober catch up 31/31 #Cuckoo #inktoberredlist I had to finish off with the cuckoo, as they symbolise for me what has been called 'shifting baseline' syndrome. My 'nature' base line of growing up the UK in the 70's was full of insects, and birds.
#Inktober 2/31. #HorseChestnut #inktoberredlist. I was shocked to hear that the 'conker' tree is now on the @IUCNRedList. More than half of our native trees are under threat.

4/6 First Signs of Autumn
"The hedgerows are full of hips and haws. The sweet smell of Hawthorn blossom replaced by a sea of ruby jewel berries, as soon as we've had our first frost the birds will strip them, a blank canvas for next Spring. '#autumnwatch #autumn #naturejournal
