This little Dartford Warbler looked almost shy as it sat tucked amongst the bright yellow flowers, giving me that sweet sideways glance before darting deeper into the prickly cover.

Yes you’re right. In the post below my #ThursleyCommon does not show up in the latest tab. Wonder what is going on?

Be mindful of

Trees reflected in slightly ruffled water leave pale squiggly lines from their trunks with a background of browns and greens. In odd places the blue sky suggests hidden depths ...
I'm rather a fan of #Reflections and liked these in the Hammer Pond on #ThursleyCommon yesterday. They make me think of an underwater cave ...

Morning walk at Thursley Common #ThursleyCommon #Surrey #nature @visitsurrey.bsky.social @naturalengland.bsky.social
We have three walks this Saturday, perfect for getting autumn off the best foot.

Pond under cloudy skies. In the foreground there is a patch of water lillies with pinky flowers.
A boardwalk meandering over the very dry wetlands. There are trees in the distance under rain clouds.
A teeny tiny lizard!
On today's trip, I met a new friend! (I saw a few, but this was the only one who stood still long enough!)

I'm working closely with a film crew who are looking to film the emergence of the Brilliant Emerald at Thursley Common. Permission has been granted. If any locals or visitors find them, could you kindly let me know. #Teamdragonfly #ThursleyCommon #UKwildlife
Yes indeed. We had #ThursleyCommon pretty much to ourselves 😊

Pair of large red damselflies thinking about mating - male holding the female by the neck
Whitethroat (apparently) partially hidden behind small bare tree branches
Rust, black and white male stonechat sitting on the very top of a small bare tree
Thay're back!! Lovely damselflies at #ThursleyCommon this morning (and some birds) 😊

Dartford warbler on lookout duty, perched high on golden gorse, scanning the heath for his lady love. Tiny bird, big romantic energy!

Sleepy fluffball alert! This little long-tailed tit looked ready for a nap as it perched on a tiny branch. Too cute to handle.

Lovely to see a pair of curlews back at Thursley today, returning to breed. Their distinctive calls echo across the heath once more, a true sign of spring!

Getting pulled into the moment..
A tiny whirlpool with a big personality, and if you look closely, you’ll spot me caught in its reflection!

Shooting into the sun? Don’t write it off! This backlit Dartford warbler proves that sometimes, the light can work for you, not against you. Embrace the glow!

Classic 'bird on a stick' shot, but at least this one has personality! This male stonechat was keeping a close eye on me, probably judging my photography skills. 😂📷
