Daffodils in bloom.
Daffodils in brilliant bloom
Vibrant yellow harbingers
Drooping sad in the cold

Despite being discouraged at every turn, yesterday was a great day of birding. Lapland Bunting the highlight of a day with some close encounters. #ukbirding #birds #naturewriting

I do love black grouse, though I've rarely seen them. Take a walk at dawn with @ebenmyrddin.bsky.social and you might see one too...

After yesterday’s drenching out across the moors, this morning dawns blue-skyed, and frosty-bright. Across the way, a copice of hazel catkins delights with glowing quinacridone gold pendants.

Dancing cranes
OS map showing district of Cranbrook in Ilford, London.
Thought I’d do a mini series on the crane for a bit, after yesterday’s offering. Bird place-name of the day 136 is CRANBROOK, not the one in Kent where my book #thecuckooslea begins, but in London. Hard to believe now! OE cran + burna. ‘Cranes’ stream’. #PlaceNames #birdsandplace #naturewriting

Marshmallow magnolia blooms, sleek and oval, over smooth, flat and grey concrete rising in regular squares. I wonder if bees have flowers growing in their hives, the way humans have them in their cities? If they could, surely they would...

Another retrospective wander into the recentish past with this 2022 shrike from a photo I found lurking on a hard drive. One of my most inept days of birding - a good job I can laugh at myself! #ukbirding #birds #naturewriting

Yesterday I was watching birds from the window as they drank from the black water that had collected from acidic rain produced by the smoke of burning oil depots. There were crows and pigeons and collared doves, and also a little gray wagtail. I wondered how its delicate, slender body had endured amid these sounds, this suffocating air, that black water.
This powerful reflection on "remaining alive in the neighbourhood of death" by Iranian philosopher Maryam Nasr Esfahani (trans: @naghmehs.bsky.social) includes a touching #naturewriting observation of birds in the oil-blackened water.

Can the #naturewriting hivemind recommend any nonfictional writing on gardens and/or plants by Black British authors? (I'm aware of Marchelle Farrell's and Elizabeth-Jane Burnett's work.) 🙏

Photo of a black man sitting under a tree, he wears a blue t-shirt, red trousers and a wristwatch. His face is resting on his left hand, which rests on the back of the chair. Photo accompanies the Thoreau Alliance announcement, with these words: The Thoreau Alliance announces that Ross Gay is the winner of the 2026 Henry David Thoreau Prize for Literary Excellence in Nature Writing. On June 14, 2026, Gay will appear in Concord, Massachusetts, to accept the Thoreau Prize and deliver an address at the Trinitarian Congregational (TriCon) Church on Walden Street. Through his writing, Ross Gay reminds us to notice the small wonders of life, to approach the world with curiosity, and to find delight in the ordinary—expanding what we think of as nature writing in ways that are both tender, insightful, and exuberant.
Ross Gay Named Winner of Thoreau Prize for Literary Excellence in Nature Writing 🌿

“Slowly I have found my way in”
… Maybe this then is our role, not in creating new ways, new technologies, but in stewarding the removal of barriers, stopping harm, repairing damage so living systems can restore themselves.
