What a cracking painting, Rebecca. You've captured its 'cocky' stance so well - about to burst into a shouting song!

Very rare off the Somerset coast, but I was thrilled to see this juvenile Puffin this morning, albeit at a distance!

It's framed under non-reflective glass, and it looks wonderful @drrjwarren.bsky.social - a stunning painting; thank you, Rebecca.

Yes, it does look like a wren's nest. Mossy and rather cosy...

That's so lovely, Rebecca. We saw/heard Redpolls on the Dunkery moorland bird transect recently. Super birds.

St. Mary, Breamore in Hampshire is a remarkably complete Anglo-Saxon survival of the late C10th. Here I photographed it with the Elizabethan Breamore House in the background.
