I just got home to Ajax after five days away, and look how much he has changed! Time replaced my scruffy little chick with a handsome and majestic bird.
I missed so much of his childhood: Five days for me is like ten years for him. Now I know how the father from Interstellar felt π

The wind has dropped at last in this corner of Norfolk and the roses have momentarily stopped showering petals like confetti. Itβs so lovely to have a moment of peace. Sleep well dear Twitter pals.

My garden robin just had an βeverythingβ bath-watch to the end bc sheβs drenched, spiky haired & in need of a towelling down when she flies off.
One academic study shows that when we watch footage of βcuteβ* animals it dials down stress levels-my small feathered palβs bathtime is for your brain.
*actual word used in the experiment:

Little old word turtle
that is me,
nibbling metaphor
#consuming nouns
& skirting verbal weed,
swimming through the waves of writers doubt
a denizen of no particular skill or speed,
just a jobbing author & a humble plodder
life and all its stories, are my literary fodder

Is this new passion all consuming
or are you just assuming
that the flame is burning hot on the other side,
is the gap between you nothing
or is it in reality just a little too wide,
will your love be unrequited
will you end up hurt and slighted
you decide

This is from Norway, but itβs one of the most distinctive and evocative calls of the Scottish Highlands: the ptarmigan.
π Sound ON for this.

I've been watching (and filming) the local woodpecker family and they're being odd. They're getting mortar from the wall of the house opposite and feeding it to the youngster. I hope they know what they're doing...

If you see this photo, please leave a comment! π
Cygnets are adorable aren't they... do you prefer close up photos like this, or photos where you see the whole bird in its environment? π€π¦π₯°

Forbidden fruit
tastes sweeter than the ordinary kind,
that perfect peach, is out of reach
but somehow it is all we bring to mind

Perfect June weather today (notπ). Grey sky and rain on my 'sunrise' walk in Glastonbury.
