We had the pleasure of taking this big lad out for a couple of walks over the weekend (the sausage dogs werenβt overly impressed) #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold #smallbeautieshour

Seeing a flock of, now rare here, lapwings and hearing their peewit call...or is that a big beauty? More than 24 hours later still full of the joy. And so many reed buntings. Sun on reeds.

Evening Bluesky peeps. For #SmallBeautieshour a walk in the January mist, skeletal trees and hedgerows and an iced-over puddle slowly thawing out. Very atmospheric π #BecauseofClem #ThreadofGold
