A photo of three books standing on a small, brown, wooden table. The out-of-focus background shows black shelves full of books.

On the left, The Owl Who Liked Sitting on Caesar, showing a yellow hardback with a colour photo of a tawny owl sitting on a small stack of books. Mounted on the wall behind it is an old-fashioned black rotary phone.

Tag your morning hair!

When in doubt, draw a cockatiel. When doubt lingers, draw cockatiels with unfortunate hair.

Picture of a sketchbook placed on a black and wooden background. The picture has 6 different cockatiels drawn on it using tricolour pencils. On the top left is a cockatiel with a big cowlick, looking straight at the viewer. Next to it is a front-facing, very round cockatiel with a very thick and spread crest that looks crown-like. Next to it is a smaller cockatiel standing sideways, it’s crest very straight and flat against its head, like a flattop. The row underneath has a very long cockatiel with an impressive crest standing up like a cockatoo’s. Next to it is a spikey and soggy cockatiel, to the right is a proud cockatiel with a very very short crest. Finally, on the bottom right, is a baby cockatiel with super spikey feathers everywhere.

I've seen this film.

This is brilliant, I think they're all juveniles, flocking together and probably travelling quite widely around the countryside.

I'm pleased these starlings gathered here for a while, attracted by the now short grass in the fields. There must be over 100, on the pole and cables and a lot feeding on the ground. #Birds #BirdsOfMastodon

Photo taken from just inside front door. It shows the electricity supply pole over the road. It and its connecting cables are occupied by chattering juvenile starlings.

Quiet place, peaceful spot, hidden away in a small grove of trees, do you know what's going on in the world?

"And what world?" you say. "This is the world, our world, and this is what goes on here.

"What goes on in yours?"

"Busy now. Can't talk."

A male American Goldfinch (bright yellow with black wings and tail) is clinging to the flower stalk of a purple coneflower. One pink foot is clearly visible grasping the stalk. The bird's head is mostly obscured by the seed head.

Scientists ask: Do birds enjoy flying? It seems the answer is yes.

Crest of Curiosity

Here’s an image for tufted titmouse (scientific name) lovers. It kind of reminds me of a little guy in a uniform, standing with his hands behind his back, watching a parade go by. I said “guy,” but honestly I have no idea — tufted titmice aren’t sexually dimorphic, so this one could just as easily be a she.

Tufted titmice are a favorite among a select group of bird enthusiasts. To celebrate these charming creatures, I’ve curated a special collection dedicated entirely to them in my photo gallery. Take a look!

#photo #photography #photographer #photographylovers #wildlife #nature #bird #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #tuftedtitmouse

"The bird stands perched on a metal surface dotted with round holes, its tiny feet gripping the cool steel as if it owns the moment. It’s a tufted titmouse—small, alert, and full of personality. A soft gray crest rises from its head like a tiny windswept plume, giving it a look of perpetual curiosity. Its eyes are dark and bright, the kind that seem to take in everything at once.

The feathers along its back and wings are a gentle gray-brown, blending smoothly into a pale gray chest. Just beneath, near the tail, a warm wash of yellow glows like a hidden ember—subtle but unmistakably alive. The bird’s posture is upright and attentive, as though it has paused mid-adventure to survey its world.

Behind it, the background melts into a soft blur of earthy tones, making the titmouse appear even sharper, almost luminous. Every feather is crisp, every detail clear, capturing that fleeting moment when a wild creature sits still long enough to be truly seen." - Microsoft Copilot
