I got sick of seeing this mess of fly tipping & littering at a local woodland. You can wait & hope someone else will sort it,but that rarely happens. This lot now at the local council refuse centre & the woodland is looking beautiful.

There are so many reasons to grow Alder #trees in your garden, this tiny #fungi grows on the old rotting catkins, Alder goblet. A similar #fungi grows from the old cones. They are only the height of these moss sporophytes!

The news of a second arrest today gives us renewed hope that Lisa’s PSNI team will achieve what she deserves……justice, and to be returned home to her family. Thank you to everyone involved in this development xx #letsfindlisa

Cormorant and Shag side by side this weekend for #SuperSeabirdSunday, a distant view but nice comparison of the two species. Adult Shags are now in smart breeding plumage with a snazzy crest, Cormorants are much less numerous here and don't nest on the island

GHOSTLY GREY has appeared on Valentine’s Day ❤️ I last saw him in June 2025 and had thought he must’ve gone over the rainbow, but there he was today, in his favourite spot with a lady in tow. Although distant, there was no mistaking him. He will be 3 years old this summer.

Numerous divers out in Church Bay today, brilliant watching them from the upstairs window. Especially exciting to see Black-throated Diver (usually very rare here), along with up to 5 Great Northerns and a Red-throated #WindowWildlife

Apparently it's Blue Monday today, but instead of focusing on THAT, let's shift our attention instead to THIS. A little bit of poetry. 'The Good' by Brendan Kennelly

@arealmofwonder Cian, this is a gift of a post. This is exactly how I felt today when planting bulbs in someone else's garden. This poem puts words to my sense of connection and what I needed. Thank you. 🙏

I think I glimpsed a Brambling in amongst the Chaffinch flock...? A good Winter in the #Cotswolds for this fabulous finch in the Cotswolds - never mind so many birds in sumptuous plumage - and pleasing to find birds in five locations. A rare treat! #GlosBirds

First time seeing Hazel gloves fungus in County Waterford, Ireland, recently. I've only ever seen them in the west of the country before.

The lush & breath taking beauty of a little ravine in the #Sperrins, hidden from view, most people are unaware of the existence of these gems. Sadly many are sullied by historic fly tipping.

Watched the last sunrise of the year from the East Lighthouse this morning - a lovely golden glow while a Peregrine Falcon patrolled overhead
