Calendars are now on my website. I need all the help I can get to get some orders to atleast try & claw back my big printing cost. The thought of making any profit from them for a long while is stressful & also not even guaranteed. Each purchase really is such a big thing to me🤞

I love all of the buntings, but the Lazuli is my favorite. I'll never forget quietly gasping at that color the first time I saw one. I caught this one late in the day with a little sideways sunlight. A couple of twigs painted shadows that almost look like field marks. #birds

Dandelion, in Scots dialects is 'wild william' and 'witch-gowan'. The floating seeds are called 'fairies' and it's lucky to catch one.

Good morning ☀️ Thank you for all your warm replies regarding my knee. It really made me smile because I was feeling pretty down yesterday.

For #FlowersOnFriday another photo of a blanket flower I was able to capture before hurting my knee. Have a great day, everyone!

Nearly 3wks without any orders. Calendars are meant to arrive this week. If anyone who wants any, could do me a massive favour & buy one sooner rather than later (if poss), I desperately need to make some sales. It could be months before I even just break even on that outlay. X🥺

Over the years, I've photographed quite a few hummingbird species. Out of hundreds of shots of the Black-chinned, only a handful are of the male, and of those, this is the only one that caught even a hint of that beautiful purple gorget. #birds #nature #wildlife

Most people don’t even know this version exists let alone have seen it.

But exist it does & shows off brilliantly the creativity, ingenuity & artistry at work in ‘Old Hollywood’ at the time.

What you put out for nesting birds could mean the difference between healthy chicks and a failed nest.

Dryer lint is the one people reach for first. It feels like the right texture, soft and fibrous, and the advice to leave it out has been circulating on Pinterest for decades.

The problem is that lint collapses when it gets wet, which a nest does, and it leaves gaps that expose eggs and chicks to temperature swings. It's also loaded with detergent residue, fabric softener chemicals, and synthetic microfibers from polyester clothing.

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology recommends against it. So does Audubon. So does essentially every wildlife rehab organization that has dealt with the consequences.

Pet fur has a similar problem if your dog or cat is on flea and tick medication. A 2021 study found fipronil, the active ingredient in many topical treatments, in 100 percent of songbird nests sampled that were lined with pet fur. Chick mortality rose with pesticide load. If your pet is treated, keep the fur out of the yard during nesting season.

What actually works: plant down, dried grass, short twigs and plant stems under three inches, wool from untreated animals, and natural cotton fiber.

Stuff a small wire suet cage or a mesh bag loosely, hang it somewhere birds can find it easily, and let them take what they need.
