The day was unusually bright after the relentless rain and Spring was whispering and echoing around the forest. The sky held only filaments of cloud and we were walking through the towering trees of my sacred place – Big Dog Forest. …
I started writing this post in early February, which is why
It seemed to find itself further down my blog, so I
thought I would bump it to the top where it belongs. I
published it fully on February 27th Hope you enjoy it

The weather has been awful recently, Storm Doris has been and gone, raging through our garden and creating havoc all around. There was a break in the sky and a blast of blue brought us outside, it was incredibly cold but there was evidence of Spring in the air. …
I’ve seen that look from older people time and time again; I’m looking at my phone and I feel the sharp stare of judgement, you know, ‘The youth of today, always on their phones/technology, they’re apathetic and wrapped up in themselves’ etc etc ?! …
My mum and I love Monique’s blog! I think many of my followers will enjoy it too ☺️☺️ …
This week has been pretty amazing, not only has the light been less shadowed and the days noticeably longer but I have started a new journey too. On Monday, I moved to a new school for lots of different reasons. …
Ok, I admit it, just sometimes I want to look out the window to the garden and catch sight of something different. A new flash of colour, a song that’s unusual…a new species to admire and learn from – close up. …
It was getting late, we were in the area and dusk was fast approaching. We took a chance and decided to drive through the oncoming mist from Oxford Island Nature Reserve (where we were very ‘delayed’ at a nature event) towards Portmore Lough. …
This morning I was super excited as today was the planned day of our Big Garden Birdwatch, I rose before dawn hoping to catch the morning chorus. I did and the sound was glorious. I was eager to get started but then realised that a little sun and warmth would bring more birds to the feeders. …
As many of you already know, I get really excited by the bird life in my garden. Even though I see the same stuff most days, if I stick around long enough, something extra special will turn up. So it’s no surprise that I am very excited to take part in RSPB’s #BigGardenBirdwatch It’s a fantastic way to get involved with citizen science, have fun and make a difference! …
Hey everyone, I hope you are all well. Today I was off sick with a tummy bug and the day felt oppressive and gloomy. I couldn’t go outside but the call of birdsong lifted my spirits and I spent some time (when I wasn’t nauseous, taking photos from my window). …
Firstly, let me wish everyone a very happy, healthy and nature filled 2017!! I would like to thank everyone for speaking up for nature in 2016, let’s hope our voices grow even stronger in this politically challenging year to come. I for one am fearful, but ever hopeful that we can make a difference; I certainly hope we can. …
