Incredible to watch the starlings flying across the road from our house this morning. The murmaration was short lived but beautiful to watch, before they disappeared into the barn to feast on the insects and cows. I grabbed the camera but missed the best. Hoping for more at teatime. Bedroom window!

The Moel Hebog Shield - a late Bronze Age shield which was found in a bog near Moel Hebog Mountain (Eryri National Park) in 1784. Now part of the collections at the British Museum. 📸 My own. #FindsFriday #Archaeology #BronzeAge

Working on the final report for @artscouncilengland.bsky.social on the Outsiders exhibition and the numbers look good. We estimated 20,000 visitors and ended up with 120,000. The exhibition was shown for around 520 days and averaged 230 visitors per day across the tour. The grant was key to this.

Brrr! - the past few days have been great for taking pictures in the snow, but it’s a relief that the cold spell has eased its icy grip. I took this picture along the frozen Llangollen Canal at Ellesmere Wharf on a morning when even my thickest socks were failing to keep my feet warm. #Shropshire
