Photo description: A small, vibrant songbird perched on a weathered wooden post against a blurred backdrop of olive and sage-coloured vegetation. The bird features a distinct, slate-gray "hood" covering its head and neck, contrasting sharply with its bright olive-yellow back and breast. Its wings and tail are a darker charcoal gray, and its underbelly fades into a crisp white. The bird has a small, pointed conical beak and dark, attentive eyes. Clue: I wear a smoky mask and a golden coat, making my home where the mountain air grows thin and the Andes touch the sky. Fun fact: Despite their delicate appearance, these finches are high-altitude specialists. They are frequently spotted at elevations up to 4,500 meters (nearly 15,000 feet), where they hop through rugged scrublands and rocky slopes that would leave most other birds gasping for air!

A Grey-hooded sierra finch?

These are the stories of animals harmed by Russia’s war in #Ukraine - ones I have written about over the years. Sadly, there are many more.

Do you remember them? Which story stayed with you the most?

Thank you! She really liked it thankfully 😅

Thanks 🙏 for sharing and reposting.

Finished my birthday card for my mum. It’s not cotton paper but still came out OK. She will be 89 so hope she likes it.

The devastating consequences of Russia's war in Ukraine are felt by all living things here:

Responsible leaders must be honest with their societies.

Russia is already waging a war against Europe by systematically targeting civilian environment - the systems that enable everyday life. These attacks take concrete forms:⤵️

Profile shot of Tufted Titmouse perched on mostly bare white pine branch with a few soft green sprays of needles below and behind it. Characteristic pointy grey-blue head tuft and back, proud looking dull white breast, slight peachy wash on its flank, small round dark black eye and black forehead, blue legs and feet.

This adorable Tufted Titmouse sure made me smile. #birds #birdphotography #tuftedtitmouse

Poor thing 💔 Not a chicken bone ?

Doing art together with my autistic daughter. Holidays challenging to find time for art so disability family sessions are great.

A photo of a frog (I think). It has smooth, dark skin and yellow-green eyes. It is standing on a pathway.

Came across this beauty. Think it’s a frog from the smooth skin - correct me if I’m wrong. Put it next to the pond for safety. Rescued a toad on Friday and now a frog!

The weather is wonderful today. I don’t have any plans, but having no plans is my plan for today.

This is a digital drawing of my daughter holding her favourite Pokemon Stufful in a dog carrier. She has dark brown hair and brown eyes and is wearing a yellow T-shirt and blue trousers. Stufful is pink faced with a white band and brown legs and mostly white ears. The carrier is blue.

WiP Do you like my Stufful carrier? It’s my daughter’s favourite Pokémon. Done a bit more work on it tonight.

Get a load of the eyebrows on this sweet little collared bush robin! This very special friend likes hanging out amongst the greenery in Taiwan, and is a very handsome fellow indeed.

A digital painting of a dove flying with a blue sky background with wispy clouds.

This is a digital painting I did a while back to send comfort to a couple of people I knew who had suffered a recent bereavement. I had a good response.

A rough sketch in graphite pencil of an older girl with her eyes closed in contentment carrying Stufful a Pokemon in a baby carrier. Her hands are clasped around the baby carrier and stufful. On the ground is a rabbit with its eyes closed hugging her and on her left is Vulpix a Pokemon looking up to her in expectation. Next to her on the right is a cherry tree in blossom.

Drafting a birthday card for my daughter from my head. She’s a Pokemon fan and neurodivergent. I’ve unfortunately caught a nasty cold but so feeling pretty unwell 🤒 As a carer you can’t stay in bed. You have to carry on as normal.

Painting of Iranian young lady in watercolours. I was inspired to paint this as woman and girls are often not involved in wars yet are disproportionately affected by them so today I stand with Iranian women and girls.
