Catching up on reading this Easter Sunday 🐇
Accidental poetry from @martinbr.bsky.social
'The earth does not need our permission to laugh.
It does not need our permission to flower.
It needs us to stop doing the things that silence it.'

*THROWBACK ALERT!* A tiny visitor made my day. Palisades birds snack on my mums, bounce back fast, and even watch me work—now we’re friends. #NatureWriting #BirdWatching #HudsonRiver [Originally posted: 2020/11/08]
Celandine and wood anemone
Signs of spring this Easter Day. 😁 #SpringFlowers #WhatToLookForInSpring #naturewriting
Cuckoo flower (Cardamine pratensis)
Ragged robin (Silene flos-cuculi)
OS map shoring Boultham, Lincolnshire.
Break from the cranes to bring you place-name of the day 146. Because it’s Easter and spring. And it’s time we had some flower names. Boultham (Lincs). OE bulut + hamm. ‘Land hemmed in by marsh where ragged robin or cuckoo flower grows’. #PlaceNames #naturewriting

A new species for my 2026 Dundee 150 list, though not one of those I was actually looking for, at Riverside Nature Park.

Common crane in grassy field
OS map showing old Crannaford next to very new Cranbrook, in Devon.
Bird place-name of the day 144, cont. crane series: CRANNAFORD (Dev). OE cran + ford. ‘Cranes’ ford’. Cranbrook, the more obvious of the two in the map, is a brand new town! The name was presumably borrowed from Crannaford. (Bonus rook place in there too!) #PlaceNames #birdsandplace #naturewriting

In search of Jack Snipe around sunrise, then a return trip to the Law in the afternoon.

Time for celebrations 🎉🎉 - I've finished another chapter which means I've written HALF A BOOK! I can't quite believe it!
Would anyone like a sneak preview of chapter 1? I'm going to publish a post on substack tomorrow to celebrate

Church windows strapped to the back of a chocolate mining bee, fuzzily grasping pillowy petals of a blackthorn blooming tree, is greeted by the windy echos of robin and chiffchaff.

David’s voice is soft yet precise. He writes about birds and nature in a way that’s spiritual to me. It lifts me as a human who birds but makes the writer in me jealous. This short meditation on a bird in the desert is worth your time, as are many of David’s essays. #NatureWriting #Birds #CNF
Off across the Biscay, so thought I'd share some #books that I think are interesting, informative, inspiring & very good reads. All on the subject of #wildlife #NatureWriting of course. #Reading

On this day in 1957, following a nature - food documentary voiced by Richard Attenborough people phoned the BBC looking for advice on growing spaghetti trees.
Results were not reported.
