For a whole year I shared a riverbank with a male mute swan Everyday on my walk we conversed without a word being said Every day I hoped he found the partner he craved This year he brought his new family to see me

This male blackbird is visiting our garden, staring into space, & allowing me to get very close to video him Bert the Bold, the new owner of our garden senses there is something wrong, & is not chasing him off Anyone bird experts know what could be wrong?

It really pains me to say this, but Bert has gone He would be back from moulting way before now, so the fact he isn’t, means he will not be returning We won’t give up hope, but we are braced for the worst

The very normal sight of a Giant Sequoia slowly swaying in the wind in a British churchyard There are estimated to be half a million Giant Redwood in Britain, and nearly all are about 170 years old

There is the same young male blackbird now singing from Bert’s favourite tree. The same bird that shows me no fear, & knows where I placed Bert’s raisins I am convinced it is a mini Bert, and he has been here before. I hope we become friends now that Bert has passed 🥲🐦‍⬛

Male Blackbirds everywhere, but not in our garden They know each other’s territory, & get aggressive in the breeding season. In Winter there’s less, but a mutual respect for boundaries So they don’t enter Bert’s garden, thus leaving a physical & metaphorical hole in our lives

English Bluebell seed collecting You can only collect those closest to our paths, & by the end of the day I had about 30,000 To put in in context, our bluebells produce about 15 million each year Slowly but surely filling the gaps where there are no bluebells

Did you know Blackbirds love Cheddar. Small lumps or grated, it is an ideal food for them Bert always flies to his favourite tree after we give him a snack. He is singing now. But being Bert, likely about the lack of water biscuits & a challenging claret 🙄
