What animals did you see today?

[In the weeds]

A bird - I can't remember what kind they are.

We saved this bird with a broken leg a couple years ago and they treated him and released him back with his flock. He comes and sits on my stool every day now. I kept him calm while waiting for the rescue people.

There are a ton of them around here but he's the only one brave enough to come for with me.

Lovely story, birds seem very good at remembering people who have cared for them. I’m not sure of your locality, but could it be a species of grackle? Boat-tailed maybe?

Yes! Now I remember it is a grackle. I think they're called long tailed grackles.
I had said to someone "I won't know if he's back because they all look alike" and they said "he'll remember and come back to you". He does, every day. It warms my heart.

Woodpecker
My ex always called them Peckerwood
It’s nice remembering the funny things about him

Pigeons! I threw some supermarket own brand instant noodles out cause I'm literally sick of them and knew they'd come here!

Always great to see them even if they're not completely comfortable with me getting too close but I've not reacted well with people coming close to me so I completely understand.

i saw a honeybee, she flew into my flat, probably after visiting the flowers by my window but after i opened the window wider she eventually found the way out.

Saw a goldcrest and a nuthatch among many others. Never seen so many birds in one place without a feeder. The garden of the house I've rented for the week is by a nature reserve, on the edge of a meadow and a forest with a stream nearby. Nature in abundance fills my heart with joy.

Nice. Reminds me that a couple of months ago around here saw a hornet and a gorgeous Camberwell Beauty (Mourning Cloak) side-by-side, simultaneously sipping sap from a leak in an oak tree. Indelible memory, surreal and fascinating.

A million spiders that are trying to move in to my apartment as the weather changes. Nearly had a heart attack rehoming them outside. (No spiders injured!).

cross orb weaver (araneus diadematus), quite young and small

Three European green woodpeckers at once, foraging in the ground after recently-cut meadow grass. Never seen anything like it, they were together and must have been a family. They arrived shortly after I received some good news, which is kinda fun even if it isn't magic.
