  Love them so much because of my childhood memories of bright orange, pink and red blooms following the sun throughout the day. Remind me of childhood summers in the garden 😁

I'm excited about the publication of Women on Nature this Thursday. Edited by Katharine Norbury, it includes contributions by 100 writers from Julian of Norwich up to the present day. Can't quite believe my name is listed next to Virginia Woolf!

Afternoon of spring firsts by the River Lee - reed warblers, sedge warblers & high over the mayflower meadow, oh joy, here come the swifts!

Delighted & astonished in equal measure to be longlisted for the @spreadthewordwriters Life Writing Prize 2021!! My piece includes this fabulous little guy... 😊

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.

Guardian Country Diary

Country diary: we are down to our last male nightingale May 11, 2021
Billingshurst, West Sussex: Last year the nightingales were a lockdown highlight. Now there is just a solitary, defiant songThe wind is subsiding and the sun is beginning to set, lighting up the edges of the clouds. I follow the worn footpath across the fields on the outskirts of the town and almost immediately hear the nightingale, its pure voice carrying t […]

Nature Notes

Nature Notes March 14, 2021
Wild Crocuses and Stubble Turnips. Blue skies flick a switch for spring. 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. I went to the plot in driving rain on a grim December afternoon, and pulled up a few leeks for supper, their oniony tang hitting my nose in bursts as the wind whipped across my face.Continue reading "Where is the Wild?

Guardian Bird Watch

Birdwatch: Leach’s petrel, a storm-driven visitor wrecked on our shore April 14, 2021
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 […]

Day 131: droopy Tuesday May 11, 2021
My tulips are flopping, and I rather love them that way. Of course I’ve not cut them from my own garden – these glorious beauties are from a kind friend…
