I often feel like this little mole. He spends his time working away, hidden from view and you never know quite when he'll pop his head back up again.
Hopefully, it will not be long before I next pop my head up with something to show. #illustration
Spring is on its way! The first signs of spring are always a welcome sight and, I'm sure, they'll be especially welcome for these little birds who have spent their Winter months huddled together for warmth.

Kingfishers are highly territorial so there's not much time for fledgelings to learn how to fish before they are driven out of the adult's territory. These two had better start paying attention!

What does an owl need to do to get a little sleep around here?
Don't you just hate it when you've been up all night and just need a little rest, but the neighbours are all being busy little bees?

Apparently, goldfinch nests are exclusively made by females. I'm guessing bitter experience has convinced them that male help is more trouble than it's worth.

I visited a pond the other day which was absolutely teeming with tadpoles. Many had their hind legs already. I'm looking forward to returning so I can keep an eye on them as they develop into little froglets.

There are few things in life to rival the cuteness of little ducklings taking their first steps in the world.

I love woodland walks at this time of year, the bluebells look amazing. They're not the only things to have emerged from the ground recently though. Young badgers, born during the Winter, are now out exploring their world.

"Don't move!" I was watching a heron in a local park the other day and I'm pretty sure that the fish have nothing to worry about. It was so tame and used to being fed that I doubt it would know what to do with a fish.
