I spotted this Dipper collecting nesting material this morning. Plus there was a beautiful dawn chorus to listen to while out and about filming as the sun came up. Spring arriving in little steps #Spring #Dipper #Wildlife #Teesdale #NorthPennines

a view from high up looking over the hills. It's a very cloudy day with a strip of sky showing and the sun breaking through to hit part of the hills below, which are fiercely green
Remembered I took a handful of photos a couple of weeks ago that I never actually got off the camera.

After 10 years of pig breeding, I still can't judge how long until she'll farrow so I'll keep on high alert all night!

It's cold. It's snowed overnight here in the #NorthPennines which is just covering the sheet ice. It can only mean one thing... It's @spinerace.bsky.social week #dotwatching
Good luck folks and hope to see some of you up here at halfway soon
Our newest Tamworth gilt is due to have her first litter sometime next week

My mountain bike laid on its side on the top near the edge of the stone plateau of Goldsborough Rigg with Blackton Reservoir in the distance
An old stone trough of some sort sits randomly on the top of the Rigg hidden amongst the grass. I've no idea what it was doing there
A black and white selfie of me in fetching mountain bike gear including helmet and sunglasses (sitting on the helmet). The front half of my mountain bike came be seen behind me
