Mushrooms. Haven't made one in a while, but intend too later this year. 🍄 ❤️ 🍄

They're multifunctional; could be a desk buddy, shelf pretty, needleminder, photo prop etc.

Some even have a #happysnail made to go with it 😁

Pelican

#LongNecks is the theme for #BirdOfTheDay today, so here is a Pelican which was a wild resident of a beach in Cuba #birds #thegardenjungle #wildlifephotography #birdwatching #shropshire #UKwildlife #birdphotography #canon #photography

Breeding begins March, continuing through July and August. Location: Robins favour secluded areas near the ground, including log piles, banks, hedges, and ivy. Unusual Sites: They frequently nest in forgotten items like kettles, teapots, old boots, or hanging baskets. Nest Structure: Built by the female using moss, hair, grass, and dead leaves. Broods: Usually have 2-3 broods, with 4–6 eggs per clutch. Incubation/Feeding: Female incubates for 13–15 days while the male feeds her. Both parents feed the young, which fledge in about 14 days. The Woodland Trust.

When you decide this might be the place to raise a family. 🪶🌱 🐣
