October Skywatch

1st Nov 2025

I only realised a few moments ago that it is now November! No-one in their right mind would walk up our scary dark lane for Hallowe’en so that came and went 🙂
Memory tells me that the night skies in October were mostly cloud bound but I did manage to get some shots and timelapse clips of Aurora … More October Skywatch

You may not remember but when I left you, I was down at the ponds, I’d just been admiring an Autumnal Acorn; I followed the tree line all the way round and back to the lane, not a path I take very often and one reason was that I started counting the apple trees on the patch. I’d reached five and was walking along glancing into the woods beside me, that’s where all the apples are, when I heard a screeching sound. I stopped, opened Merlin on my phone to help ID the screeches, maybe a young Sparrowhawk? I stepped towards the woods and the old fallen fence when the screeching got louder and I looked down! … More Weekly Digest

It’s been getting progressively colder all week and a week of very mixed weather, we had storm somebody or other, blew a hoollie ALL night then the next day was post-storm windy day, certainly clearing leaves off the Autumnal trees. It’s also been a great week for sunrise and set, not every day but a good few and of course …. a Lemmon! … More Weekly Digest

What a Lemmon!

Looks like last week started busy, I have a feeling the weather was much better as the week began, especially when I look back at the photos as I edit them. The news of the week was the confirmed sighting of the leucistic, all white Chaffinch near the end of our lane so, several of my walks ended down there in my attempts to get some shots of it, I will be back 🙂 … More Weekly Digest

A Bit of Stalking

16th Oct 2025

A few weeks back a nearby neighbour told me she’d seen a white bird coming into her garden, she described it to me and I suggested it could be a leucistic Blackbird, maybe even a Chaffinch, we used to have a leucistic Blackbird in our local area that would drop into the garden now and … More A Bit of Stalking

Following the sunset

15th Oct 2025

The morning after my Walk into Sunset, I awoke to find it very misty outside and pretty chilly I might add! I shuffled through to the kitchen glancing out the windows with my misty eyes, still not full awake but capable of noticing nice light outside, I do like a bright, misty morning so ………… camera in hand, flip-flops and dressing gown on I headed out front, see what I might see. … More Following the sunset
