Birds on the Patch
15th Feb 2026
February 11th – My usual loop, along the top of the field, down to the wild cam site and up to the feeding post. I’m starting to realise I have a few stopping points on these walks, which vary depending on activity and the route I take. … More Birds on the Patch
Walking in Dreich
11th Feb 2026
Much as I love the word dreich, it just works, I am getting truly fed up of it, grey, dull, dank skies, often raining and not real rain but that misty wet stuff that clings when it lands. To my memory, the last sunny day we had was Jan 19th when i went up to the reservoir, the sun did try to get through a couple of days back but only for a few minutes, then gave up. Apparently the Jetstream is pointing right at us and a weather front is stuck over Scandinavia and we’ve had Easterly winds all this time ……. cold! … More Walking in Dreich

Accidental Encounter
17th Dec 2025
It’s been a while since I’ve been up to the reservoir. I checked back through the images awaiting edit and it was October 27th! That might give you some idea of the dreich weather we’ve been having. OK that’s not all that prevented me going up but a fair part of it and today, December 15th, the sun shone, kind of! 🙂 So I decided it was high time I went back up for a walk and to check the water level, last time I was there it wasn’t good. … More Accidental Encounter

They call me the Creeper
6th Nov 2025
I’ve just come to realise that there is a set of birds out there that only appear in the garden as the weather begins to decline, maybe not decline, the temperature drops perhaps. I’ve spotted a (the) Mistle Thrush a couple of times now, a pair of Brambling dropped in on Sunday & Monday and … More They call me the Creeper
Cedric & Calliope Dine Out
5th Nov 2025
I am very lucky to have a great selection of regular garden visitors to the feeders and now and then, a less common visitor might drop by but I don’t think I have any favourites, apart from maybe colouration making them more pleasing to photograph and share. … More Cedric & Calliope Dine Out
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
