Lovely post and you got some pics! It is a grand time of year, now that the deluge has paused a bit. Same for me with herons on the Ribble. They stay for an age until not even the camera comes out but the moment before I click. And off they go "frank, frank..." Little darlings!
Merry Midwinter to you and yours at this special time of year.
I love that you caught the Kestrel in the quiet walk. Here in Minnesota, USA my garden sleeps under 8 inches of snow right now but I am sure there is more to come before we will see any new growth. It will be late March before we will see green but the winter birds are about. Excited to see what projects you take on in this new year.
Love your post. I'm a kindred spirit. I think the best we can do in these times is to be nourished by nature and to spread our love of it to others. I live in Washington DC but there is natural beauty all around and whenever I see big wild birds in town it is thrilling. Good luck ferreting out your next steps. Tactile creativity is so essential to our well being.
Such a wonderful thoughtful post. Thank you.
Thank you Jan

Haha herons are a tease, they let you get close until the camera comes out. They time it very carefully. Merry midwinter to you too! 😄

Thank you Joanne, I guess for you it’s interesting what life is still out and about and how it survives in such frozen conditions.

Yes I agree about creativity and wellbeing. We used to live in London and I know that feeling of seeing nature in the city. It feels really special.
