Well it is autumn, and it’s been chucking it down all day. First fire in the house we moved into in May 🔥 🍂

My happy place on a Friday evening, summer by the Wharfe. Pair of redstart, several spotted flycatcher feeding young, blackcap and butterflies

Moving house this week. I have a similar number of herbal teas 🫣

Annual pilgrimage to Middleton Woods, Ilkley. Priceless perfume, golden tunes, feeling blessed - this is my church

‘Time’ at Beverley Minster by @luxmuralis.bsky.social was very beautiful last night. Reminded me that ‘this too shall pass.’

Lovely visit to Lancs Wildlife Trust’s Brockholes reserve on way home from Wales. Small flock of curlew passed over.

Out from behind the desk for a great visit to North Cave Wetlands, so many friendly people, and saw a woodcock, fieldfare, brambling, bull finch, tree sparrows, water birds galore.

Slow going but very beautiful across crisp frozen snow and ice on Ilkley moor today.

Catching death of cold without t’at a strong possibility

Proper dollops of snow here in north West Yorkshire. Feeding and watering the birds.

Makes me proud every time.

Bee orchid, West Yorkshire in July. This little beauty seems to pop up in the most unassuming places, including chemical free lawns. Saw a few this summer.

Some of my hardier, furrier conservation colleagues nonplussed by my words of encouragement earlier at Potteric Carr. Picked up gorgeous Wildlife Trust Christmas cards too.

Thank you to everyone who followed me this first week, rediscovering familiar faces here has been like catching up with friends in the sunshine 💚

Hi everyone 👋 Very lovely seeing familiar faces again. I’d missed you after deleting the Bad Place from phone. I’m more of a reader than a poster but here for all things green, climate, wild and tasty 💚
