That one is the Double A4, it comes as an A4 size, but open up to Double A4, so the pics and boxes are twice the size of the standard A4 one. 😊

Delighted to find this scarce Little Gull at Durleigh reservoir today... only the 3rd time I've ever seen one! 😍
Spent an hour watching it hunt by diving into the water for bugs etc, it looks and behaves more like a Tern than a Gull! 😁😍🐦

I still have a lot of real followers there.. including some who did leave when Elon took over, but have since come back.. the algorithm there is quite limiting now though.

Carl Bovis @carlbovisnature.bsky.social · 15d

I really appreciate it, thank you so much! 🙏 ❤️

Yes, I ship everywhere... that seems to be a glitch some people are getting when they try ordering from their mobiles for some reason.. please try using a desktop, and if you're still having problems please send me a message, either here or at [email protected] 🐦
