To cheer everyone up, here's a little Puffin going for a little walk. 😊😍🐦❤️

Throwback to the time I had a Great Tit in my hand. 😀😍🐦

A baby Puffin exercising its wings, then disappears, which seems to surprise the parents! 😁😍🐦

Had a Robin in my hand yesterday evening at RSPB Ham Wall in Somerset. 😊 😍🐦

Learn all about the birds in your garden with 'An identification guide to the garden birds of Britain and North West Europe', a book that I was proud to collaborate with Dominic Couzens, a celebrated wildlife author. 😀 You can buy it in my shop here; 🐦

On a scale of 1 to 10, how cute is this tiny Goldcrest having a preen at Swell Wood in Somerset last weekend? 😍🐦

Made a friend today... 😁🐦

Have you ever heard what a Puffin sounds like? 🤔 If not, I bet you didn't imagine something like this.. 😁🐦😍

The moment a Robin flies down to feed its mate. 😍🥰 Filmed in my Somerset village this week. 😊🐦 Have you seen this behaviour?

The display of the male Teal! 😍 It's all over in less than 2 seconds, so I've slowed it down for you. 😁🦆

Come for a walk with me.. Most people will find this walk and view boring, but for me, it's one of the most beautiful places in the world... the Somerset Levels, large flat expanse of mainly open, damp countryside, few people, few buildings... just quietness and nature.. ❤️

Singing and preening Wren! 😍🎶 Filmed at RSPB Greylake a couple of evenings ago. 😀 Look at the subtle tail movements as it sings! 😁😍🐦

Get yourself a wife who can climb into a ditch to rescue a fully grown wild Swan, then carry it across a busy main road to safety...in heels! 😁😍🐦❤️
