An early morning barn owl encounter.

I make a guest appearance in episode 16 of Melissa Harrison’s podcast ‘The Stubborn Light of Things’. Here’s an extended version.

A garden murder, and a drizzly trip to Bridestones Moor.

A special after-sunset.

Recognised by its ‘jizz’: my first Hebden Bridge whitethroat.

A wet week.

Notes nearing ninety.

The memory of a military hospital.

Collected writings on Philip Larkin.

In which our author ventures outdoors to consider the British in nature.

The delights of a wet day.

A friend’s dogs are frightened by an unexpected guest. Another dog remains as reluctant as ever.
