Palmate Newt

I came across this little Newt in my veg patch, I think it is a young Palmate Newt which is an unusual one to find especially as we have no pond.

Nightingales

This years Springwatch has been better than ever from the beautiful Minsmere reserve in Suffolk. It was lovely to see and hear Nightingales again, I really do miss them as we heard so many when we lived in France. Here is a painting I did of one singing.

View from the Shard

I took this picture on our recent trip to London from the top of the Shard, the views from up there are amazing. This is looking down on the railway track with its tiny white trains, Tower Bridge is to the left.

Being Observerd! A visit to Slimbridge & a Young Greylag Goose looking in the bird hide!
