Clattering of jackdaws having a barney in the black poplar & male sparrowhawk making low passes over the steaming fields. Walked back along the snickets, head reverberating with the first great spotted woodpecker drum roll of 2022 - 2 weeks earlier than last year.

Pottering at Paxton Pits & roaming round the heath at Sandy. Lovely views of goldeneye, red-crested pochard & great white egret. If 2022 carries on like this, it can stay.

A hazel staff is the best walking companion, especially in the wetlands after dark. I cut this one while coppicing, then forgot & left it in the hawthorns. They protected it until I returned. Perhaps now it will lead me, sure-footed, along even the boggiest of paths?

Enjoying tea & mince pies after our Christmas coppicing session.

Head torches on, tawny owl calling as we make our way out of the woods. Lovely day in my happy place.

So enjoyed giving a talk on the wild side this evening to a lovely group of enthusiastic, welcoming Bedfordshire gardeners. Great to chat afterwards too about peat-free plants and the ways our gardens can connect with the wider landscape.

Day in the reedbeds clearing ditches. I'm more sludge than human - certainly in terms of how I smell!! Time for a shower! 😳

Just when I think I've picked the last tomatoes & chillies, the greenhouse surprises me again.
