It's been a while since I painted any nature sightings, so here's a round up of some of my creature encounters from the last year- including Exmoor ponies on Snelsmore common, my first stoat, and a beautiful little shrew.

Meet Squirrel. Squirrel is LOUD. 🐿️
Meet Bird. Bird is quiet. 🐦⬛
They are complete opposites.
And that's all you need to know.
The end.
Or is it . . . ?
This cleverly crafted story flips labels upside down, proving that nobody can be summed up in a single word. Written with wit by @laurabakerbooks and illustrated by debut talent @staceythomasmakes , this playful, thought-provoking book will have children discovering hidden layers of meaning on every page.
A must-have for parents, teachers, and anyone seeking inclusive, confidence-boosting picture books about being unapologetically you.
🪶🍂 Squirrel and Bird is coming this October! 🪶🍂

Recent wildlife sightings. Lots of good creatures in the last few months, including newts, a beautiful weasel, and some fancy new duck species!
(Also spotted some wild parakeets in an Oxford park, but they didn't quite fit the composition!)
