Trying out my new filter.

The seaside in winter.

UFOs over Wales.

Banging out any old crap can work wonders.

Distracted by nature.

An unplanned visit to the flooded Dee Marshes is rewarded with a wildlife spectacle.

In all my years visiting the Dee Marshes, I had never looked across them from the Welsh side.

Struggling to identify a species is the best way to learn.

In which I return to a favourite childhood haunt after a gap of 40 years.

Geology doesn’t receive the recognition it deserves. Our modern understanding of how the world formed and evolved is one of science’s great triumphs.

In which I attempt to grow blackthorn seedlings from sloes collected last autumn.

…when it’s a marsh harrier.
