A class 710 Overground train that I brought in to Barking Riverside. The changeable weather and empty platform suited the choice of black and white for this phone shot.

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... The new refrain is "free speech" when in fact it's hate speech. They are looking across the pond for enablement and alarmingly it has some traction. We need a more radical alternative. Labour has been too equivocal. Where are we as a society? Years backwards

Dense juvenile trees in Epping Forest. With leaf fall comes an awareness of the depth of the place. A feeling of enclosure but distance all at once. It's easier to spot the wild deer which we did a few times today.

Industrial farming is choking our planet . Yet at a time when we should be supporting farmers to invest in restoring nature and transitioning away from destructive animal ag , the news that government have slashed wildlife-friendly budgets even further is just plain insanity .

Another one taken from the rear cab of a moving train on my phone camera as we crossed a bridge. There had been rain and the road markings gleamed. On an otherwise empty street the couple just happened to be walking through a pool of light.

Sometimes a grey, damp day can look quite beautiful. A squint of the eye is sometimes just enough to see through the murk and the mist. Enjoy your day wherever you are...

My training driving career just has a few short months left. I won't miss the crazy early starts but the views I've sometimes had from the cab have been extraordinary. Alas, I can't take photo's from there but I get to travel rear cab home sometimes and my unwind times have been special.

I gave up on toxic X (then twitter) 3 years ago. The only blue bird I've engaged with since was this fledged blue tit last spring. I placed it safely away from cats and its parent soon came to feed it. Every living thing needs a safe place right?

Having worked hard to make our inner city garden attractive to wildlife, more recently some 'non-native' species have arrived (grey squirrels and parakeets). We've a soft spot for this one though as she's super friendly and has an ear that looks like Halkidiki when she's upside-down!
