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

unning behind, as ever! I blame the dreich. It feels like a looooong time since we had some clean, clear weather; it probably isn’t but the dull, wet, grey days we’ve been suffering recently are getting really wearing, they really do not help you feel your best but, it’s Winter right? And, I did keep saying we need rain, we’re definitely getting that right now. … More Weekly Digest

A Day under Haar

23rd Nov 2025

November 22nd. The morning started as a really beauty, as forecast, clear blue sky and the possibility of a bit of a heat from the sun but, nature had other ideas. Around 11 o’clock in the morning I wandered outside for temperature check and a look around, see what was occurring in general. … More A Day under Haar

have spent the past couple of days, inside because it’s been awfy dreich, editing and attempting to select and gather a set of shots for the week! I’m not complaining, really, I’ve been saying we need rain for a few weeks now so ….. this morning it was actually pishin’ doon, not too bad now. I think the worst part of almost constant dreich is the dull grey, useless for photography and a wee bit depressing after a while but…….. it really is not worth getting depressed by the weather, it’s just weather, right? … More Weekly Digest

Into November

5th Nov 2025

The first weekend in November, I don’t think I actually noticed until later in the day, I guess that’s age and retirement for you. It was a real mixed bag of weather for the whole weekend; pretty cold, calm, sunny, wet, windy ….. anything else? … More Into November

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

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
