My Robin friend Blackberry chatting. Blackberry hatched this spring and came into my life as a very inquisitive fledgling, and now waits for me every morning to turn up with a snack.

This 'chatting' behaviour is technically known as 'subsong' and it's still a bit of a mystery as to why birds do it.

A whole #Somerset village showed kindness this summer - what kindness did you see during your holidays?

“My husband and I arrived at a lovely village in Somerset and would be joined by our daughter and family for the week. On arrival, we were advised of local fete and popped down. Everyone was so welcoming
and friendly. We were advised of places to visit and explore. Wonderful!

#Onthisday in 1765, the last “witch” was burnt in #Somerset.

➡️ Mary Norwood, living in Axbridge, was accused of killing her husband with witchy poison.

➡️ On 8th May in Ilchester, she prayed and sang a hymn – amazing she could find any voice at such a time. Then, she was garrotted and her dead body was burnt to ashes.

➡️ People believed that by burning her body she wouldn’t come back as a ghost!
