RSPB Big Bird Count weekend

It's the weekend of the annual RSPB national garden bird count - and the sun's shining! I took these photos while I did my count, and added a bit of a page from the RSPB Anthology of Wildlife Poetry. Every page is illustrated by members of the Royal Society of Wildlife Artists, half of them in full colour. If you love birds, nature, art and poetry, this book should be in your hands (and, occasionally, on your shelves)!

Thank you for lots of stars for my yesterblip - much appreciated!
