Wildlife

We're about more than just birds (though obviously we like them a lot).

Notes on nature

We love nature... from every little bug on a blade of grass to birds, butterflies, otters and oaks!

  • Blog post: Monday's Magic Moment: my mum always used to say...

    'Don't talk with your mouth full.' And it's a lesson this fieldfare might want to take note of if he doesn't want to lose his rather juicy-looking berry! Fieldfares are winter visitors to the UK and a very common sight in gardens at the moment - whether you're digging yourself...
  • Blog post: Monday's Magic Moment: reflections

    Katie's post on Friday reminded me how beautiful winter can be. And when I saw this gorgeous image of Snowdon by Guy Rogers I just knew I had to share it with you. You can find more stunning winter photos on RSPB Images .
  • Blog post: Monday's magic moment: go bonkers for conkers

    Looking more like an undulating landscape ready to be conquered by some adventurous explorer, I love this different take on conkers by Sue Kennedy . There are plenty of other seeds and berries for you to see in a new light on RSPB Images .
  • Blog post: Monday's Magic Moment: taking flight

    As we head deeper into autumn, the natural spectacle that is migration really gets going. We'll be visited by thousands of birds looking to take advantage of our winter weather. There will be fieldfares , redwings , knots , maybe also some waxwings , as well as plenty of geese . I love the...
  • Blog post: Monday's Magic Moment: an Indian summer

    With the promise of an Indian summer this week, I'm looking forward to warm days and beautiful sunsets. I'm hoping for something as atmospheric as this image by David Osborn! As well as looking out your window, you'll also find beautiful sunsets on RSPB Images .
  • Blog post: This weekend...fall for fungi

    It might seem a bit early to be telling you to look out for fungus, but I've certainly already noticed quite a few mushrooms and toadstools while out and about around The Lodge this week. And as flowers start to wilt away, and trees think about dropping their leaves, fungi bring a splash of welcome...
  • Blog post: Monday's Magic Moment: from a different angle

    Sometimes it just takes a change of perspective to see things differently. A point brilliantly illustrated by today's magic moment - a striking split image of a waterfall by Graham Eaton . Find your own unusual images in our image library - RSPB Images .
  • Blog post: Signs of spring that won't run away!

    You get a call from the window, 'come quick, we've got long-tailed tits on the feeder again'. You rush over as fast as you can, but it always seems too late - they've flown off without giving you as much as a glimpse of their tails! If this sounds like your experience of 'watching'...
  • Blog post: Monday's Magic Moment: blooming marvellous

    Are you enjoying nature's spectacle of vibrant colours and delicate flowers that are around at the moment?

    Whatever you do this Bank Holiday Monday, we hope you aren't fighting like cats and, err, hares with your loved ones! You can see this photo by Richard Revels and loads of other wildlife action shots and landscape images in our image library .
  • Blog post: Not just black and white

    It's been rather a dismal week here at The Lodge , with soggy clouds overhead for too much of the time and precious little sunshine to be had. We're lucky enough to have a bird feeder outside our window here (check out the webcam during daylight hours). It gets a good range of visitors ...
