Might be parky today, but the cherry plums haven't noticed... #springsigns

Misty reflections on the river this afternoon...

Lovely to open my January copy of Gardeners' World Magazine and see the first of my nature series, starting with making fat cakes to attract birds to the garden. Not long now until the Big Garden Birdwatch...

Misty over the reedbeds this morning & the song thrushes giving it some welly.

Nightfall over the reedbeds, rejoicing in a bit of solitary time, just the crows keeping me company & an alder watching my back. Moonlight pooling on the boardwalk as I set off home.

My Guardian Country Diary today explores the alder carr - a place that is dear to me & where I go for restoration, creativity & simply to breathe. (link in bio)

Mellow, luxurious Dahlia Cafe au Lait this evening.

Bats and brimstone butterflies break hibernation, midges rise and fall in columns, blackbirds grow territorial and sparrows toy with (and squabble over) nesting material. The mud crusts and dries in ridges and tiny, young nettle and goosegrass leaves make a green flush under … Continue […]

Landlines: Nature Writing

Where is the Wild? Nature Writing Workshop with Amy-Jane Beer – by Joanna Dobson March 12, 2021
Last year on our allotment we lost an entire crop of leeks to the allium leaf miner, Phytomyza gymnostoma.

The sooty-black seabird should have been far out in the North Atlantic at this time of yearThe wind had dropped a little, but still made my eyes water, and I was finding it hard to hold my binoculars steady. Gulls strained to stop themselves being blown backwards, while flocks of wigeon hunkered down on the river’s surface.And then we caught sight of it. A s […]
