Such lovely words, bird art and photographs, Bryn! Absolutely beautiful.
Your Common Gallinule is called a moorhen around here. They're lovely, with their insistent calls and their constantly flicking-up tails. They're on most ponds and lakes around here - quite shy, though. Their babies are adorable - tiny balls of black fluff with funny little faces!
A lovely post. I'm ever so behind on my reading, but having a super time catching up! 😊
I like the name “moorhen” much better than the name we have here. This fella was quite shy, and sadly no babies around when we visited - because little black puffballs sound so adorable!
(Appreciate you checking out the posts - I have a similar backlog but will get sorted now that I’m back from your neck of the woods 😅)
I’d got behind, and then I was saving them up for a bulk-reading treat, which I absolutely loved!
Hope you had a terrific time on our little island - I reckon up there in Scotland you were about 400-500 miles away from my bottom-right-hand corner of England!
I love your little bird sketches. They’d make a cool fridge magnet.
Thanks, Tom. I never thought of that but like the idea 😃
i always look forward to seeing your photos ^_^ so gorgeous!
🥺 Thank you, Tolu!
Great story. I like the “noise of nature” the best in the whole wide world.
Thanks, Tinabeth! It’s really quite something to hear how much we miss from all our urban noise.
