Senecio Vulgaris or Common Groundse (wiki)
I posted the same plant a couple of days ago. There were no fluffy stuff, just flowers (buds?) then. Yesterday I saw some fluffs like dandelion seeds. Still not sure what sort of weeds.
My kind friend, PokemonaDeChroma, suggested that's "pollen bag". I thought "pollen bag" was a flower name and searched for the images.... not really flowers but some yellow handbags came out. I thought, Oh my, they're not my tastes. I am a bit too old for yellows 😂
Last one was macro. This one is not. 250mm zoom lens. I went out for birds... then only ended up seeing a funny cuckoo baby.
Love how the late evening sun spotlights the white layer of fluff on the slough and also floating in the air. Just click the image to see it.
"Poplar trees produce their seeds in catkins, which hang unpollinated on the trees in early spring. Once they are pollinated, green seed capsules form, and when they break open the seeds are released, each carried by a tiny parachute of fluff. This is what you see stuck in the tree, floating through the air, or lying on the ground.
Sometimes the fluff accumulates on the ground so thickly that it looks like snow! [...]." The Furry Gnome
Wishing you a wonderful new week from Bluebird Estates.
People may say seagulls are vermin and destructive, but that is hypocrisy. People excuse themselves for the trees they felled, the water they waste, and the habitat they stole from animals, then complain when a seagull steals their burger. Seagulls are no less of a nuisance than we are. Seagulls are simply strong, adaptable creatures that are sharing their homes with us.

No doubt this breaks a load of photography rules - wings chopped off, half the bird etc. however I do love it when puffins fluff themselves up. Almost like they're playing to the crowd.
Press L or zoom even further.
The girls posing on a woodland walk :) It was damp underfoot & a good job their paws were hidden lol. Always lovely to see the bluebells.
This Moorhen was fluffing his feathers up for quite a length of time and I am pleased I managed to get a nice photograph of it. They build large untidy nests on the water in spring but when this bird is not nesting it spends more time out of the water than in it. They have a varied diet anything from snails, insects, small fish and berries, when these birds are disturbed they normally take cover under vegetation as they are not very good at flying but if it does fly its only for short distances and not very elegantly. When its breeding season the male bird swims towards the female with its bill in the water and the two birds eventually nibble at each others feathers when this behaviour stops the birds then find a suitable place to build their nest which is made up of twigs and they will defend the nest vigorously. The female bird lays between 7 and 8 eggs and they take turns to incubate them, this is for about 3 weeks and its both birds that look after the chicks, the chicks do not have a bright red shield when they hatch. It has been documented that Moorhens have eaten other Moorhens eggs if they get the chance and it is believed they do this as a precaution to protecting their own eggs. Moorhens have been known to have 2 to 3 broods in a season also its possible that their previous years birds will help their parents with the current brood.
Fluffs, dust and scratches on glass plate I use to create my MacroMondays macros make me always some headache. But for todays theme the fluffs monster transforms to an elegant dancing queen.
