Today’s #AutumnArrivalSpotlight is the delightful Pallas’s Warbler! 🍂
These tiny visitors from far east are a rare autumn treat for birdwatchers!
Look for their bright yellow eyebrow stripe and lemon rump as they flit through the trees.

was struggling to sketch today so went for a walk to shake it off and get air and picked myself up some nice oak #leaves to sketch. there's something about oak #trees that I love, I don't know what it is. (even if yesterday I took a falling acorn to the face lol) #oak #fall

we desperately need more rain though. the local river is really struggling, in some places there's only a few tiny streams of water. people may love the sunshine but rain is necessary in so many ways.

While saying they want to "preserve nature" the Conservative Party have just pledged to scrap the Climate Change Act.
This makes no sense.
How do more floods, more droughts, and rising temperatures "preserve" nature?
That's what scrapping the Act will lead to.

Once rare, these tiny travellers from Siberia are becoming a more familiar sight as they pass through each autumn.
Weighing just 6 grams, their sharp, distinctive call is usually the first clue they're around.
