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

Weekly Digest

26th Oct 2025

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

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

The Puddle Party

10th Oct 2025

I drove back onto the farm yard and noticed a few birds around one of the big puddles left by the recent rain so I stopped the car and reached for the “big boy”, my joke name for the camera with a Sigma 150-600mm lens fitted 🙂 … More The Puddle Party

Monday Morning Stroll

7th Oct 2025

Monday October 6th, windy and chilly with some beautiful clouds and blue sky patches. I got out reasonably early to see what I might catch but there wasn’t anything that exciting going on, temperatures are dropping, the wind hasn’t really stopped blowing since last Friday, we’re kind of used to that, being on an open hill 🙂 … More Monday Morning Stroll

Amy’s Weekend

5th Oct 2025

October 3rd 2025 – we drove back from Cellardyke, a day earlybecause Storm Amy was heading our way and the wind was getting up and it just felt right to get home before the full storm hit. We live on a hilltop, pretty exposed to the wind so we’d rather be here if anything happens … More Amy’s Weekend
