I wonder where them birdies is

I can tell you about one of them anyway

Hello,

here’s one of my sets of photos, and there’s a definite sign of spring. We have our first daffodil in bloom, so the days will soon be longer. As for the bird, it’s a siskin that’s taken to visiting our garden. I think it’s here all year round, though I’ve never seen it before, and I wouldn’t have known what it was until a kind reader identified it from a photo I posted on facebook.

This is what the internet is for - sharing knowledge rather than outrage.

Featured Photos

Most are local views, photos taken on my regular walk, but I’ve been further afield to meet up with some writer friends in London. We were so busy talking I only took two pictures, and here they are.

How the gallery appears below depends on how you’re viewing it. In an email you only get a thumbnail, so it’s best to click through to the desktop site or the substack app where you can click on each photo to see it in full.

However you view them, I hope you enjoy the photos.
