Enjoyed a lovely assortment of warblers at Woodwalton Fen NNR yesterday—blackcap, Cetti’s, chiffchaff, grasshopper, sedge & willow. A cuckoo, too. & a pair of marsh harriers. Also, mating grass snakes. ICYI, my recent @CountryfileMag article on this site:

Cleaning up trash in the local forest with a rubbish picker, & putting up a bird box that my Dad made from recycled materials. Two things that money can't buy, both leave a subtle warm feeling of contributing and reconnection to nature. You know the feeling right:)?
@DavidWh90656130@jamesgilbertmr Ask the question, "What's it like to be you, 'Ivy'?" Then an awareness arises, a deeper knowing, that there is no such thing as an 'invasive species', or 'weeds'. Merely human labelling, built on prejudice & a deep disconnection from nature. Everything has a purpose.
@DavidWh90656130@jamesgilbertmr Simply not true. The damage that has been done through the thinking that humans know better, the arrogance is incredible.
This happened last night! I’m sure the web is awash with northern lights photos and here are mine. I’ve never seen anything like this before. Absolutely incredible. No filter either.
Just delighted, I am, to have a collection of my notes & poems feature in this charming “winter walk” article by @DominicCouzens, for @BirdWatchingMag March ‘23.
Grateful thanks to Dominic & @polyolbion.
The root cause of unsustainable behavior is society's disconnection from nature.
Our disconnection reduces our understanding of the impact of our behavior on the planet.
To improve, we need to reconnect with nature on different levels.

When out walking not so long ago, I had a chance encounter with a woodcock! It was an exhilarating moment; one that I’ve tried to portray here using words & watercolour. The painting is by @AG_WildlifeArt.
