Atmospheric view across Staffordshire pastures.
Season of mists and mellow buddyness!
Lucky to see mute swansβ courtship yesterday morning.
And not bad here in NL this morning.
Crocus fever here in NL this afternoon π³π±. A happy queen bumblebee! Plenty of Brimstone butterflies flitting about, but none wanted to be photographed.
Malcolm Burrβs Insect Legion at your disposal Maβam!
Lovely spring day ahead!
Itβs looking green this morning.
I just emailed my MP through the #CleanWaterNow campaign π calling for a new water law to stop pollution and restore rivers, lakes and seas. Every voice matters β will you join me? action.friendsoftheearth.uk/target/clean...
Ah, thatβs reassuring.
You caught the lilac-fingered daughter of dawn at the perfect moment!
The end of the world is nigh!
Of maybe not.
The herald of spring, for me. π―
Steadfast and constant. β€οΈ

Looking good.
Carpe diem! π
Looking good β¦ full of eastern promise!
Things also improved here, across the Dove in Derbyshire, eventually in the late afternoon.
Normal service is resumed!

Blue, blue, my world is blue!
Itβs clear β¦ weβre going to see some sunshine today!
Appalling that this stuff is used prophylactically.
Subdued photosynthesis today!

Sorry, no brilliant pics. But in 2025 I was really pleased to see plenty of Brimstones in my area of Derbyshire. The herald of Spring for me. It was also a v good year for Small Coppers. Saw a Clouded Yellow from a distance at Wild Ken Hill, no chance of a photo!
In case youβre in any doubt,
β35mβ = 35 MILLION dead salmon!
Absolutely appalling. π€¬
I stopped eating the stuff 5 years ago. Consider joining me.
More than 35m unexpected salmon deaths at Scottish farms sparks outcry
Definitely my 2nd favourite (moving from the biggest species to the smallest!). π
Very variable mottled coloration.
The courtship behaviour is delightful if you sit patiently to observe it - there are 4 phases!Those clubbed antennae make good semaphore flags!
We are in Norfolk this weekend, house hunting. A view with a tree is on my wish list! π
