Willow Boughs designed in 1887 is one of William Morris instantly recognisable patterns. Entwining stems and delicate willow leaves combine in this enduring design which defines Morris's abiding reputation.

This is Albie. He was so touched by his family singing happy birthday in his native language that he didn't notice the cupcakes with his face on them. 13/10 hbd Albie #SeniorPupSaturday (TT: _sallyv)

Moor restoration by slowing the flow of water and creating a shallow pool.
Binoculars, a pint of beer and a bottle of cider on a table in a pub.
A yellow Labrador retriever staring intensely at the bar staff in a pub. Her attention seeking was rewarded by a piece of sausage.
A beautiful day in North Yorkshire. Green Woodpecker in Rosedale was the best bird & nice to see a pair of Golden Plovers on Glaisdale Moor. #labrador Lina’s efforts in attention seeking in the pub were rewarded by a sausage from the bar staff 😆. #NEbirding

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.
How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.
Y’all, Smidge just MADE HERSELF a therapy dog!
No training. She just decided that lady needed snuggles and that she was gonna do it.
Bonus: Smidge displaying expert snuggling, with Dad.
Molly, aka the Thing of Evil, with her slave. That would be me. 🤣
Olwen(she/her):"Mooooooorning Hoooooooooowl!"
Hopefully in small enough dose that it is still pleasant.

Sort of chubby ground-based bird that will fly if he really has to
On a cloudy afternoon a couple weeks back I took this picture of a male Gambel's quail on one of our habitat piles

Male house sparrow on a rose branch with a moustache of brown twine threads in his bill, that he's just torn off from where the rose is attached to a chestnut arch.
Male house sparrow snapped this morning stealing the jute twine I use to tie in roses. It'll make good nesting material. If he's not careful, the branch will spring up taking him with it... #birds
She is SO funny.

I'd hoped to finish this today, but hockey, chores etc...

There IS a Lewes Fox - on a weathervane above the Maltings building (where the county archives used to be housed). But here's another contender - from Phil Winter on the Nature Table, who spotted this beauty in Lewes.

Missing my girl today.
Pupcake chaos!!
Mom has not watched this video after she took it, so who even knows what happens…
But I DEFINITELY did not attempt to steal anyone else’s pupcake….
There are few birds better than a Red-flanked Bluetail & the wintering Crockham Hill bird was a typical (& occasionally showy) stunner this morning. Surprisingly only my 2nd in my old home county of Kent, after my first ever on its eastern extent at Bockhill back in my teens, many moons ago...
