A crow attacked this young rabbit today so he’s now in a makeshift hotel to get some recovery space. If he makes it he can join the crew feasting on my veggies. #animalrescue

Van Morrison’s ‘Into the Mystic’ was originally into the misty - thanks to @circleofpines.bsky.social book Chasing Fog for that little gem. #mistymorning #naturewriting

The gray world, the gray world,
That clouds the face of Spring,
That clothes in nebulous white shrouds
Each near, familiar thing

According to the #stateofclimateuk report #hazel catkins are being spotted earlier and earlier due to climate change. I spotted several trees full of golden lambs tails 6 weeks earlier than in 2024. I wonder how they’ll fare with the cold snap that’s coming.

The mists frayed and revealed nature stripped back to its bones. The trees, undressed, possessed a different kind beauty today. #boxingdaywalk #naturewriting

Christmas Eve, it’s hardly perceptible but we’ve passed the darkest time of the year, which is something to celebrate. We’re gaining a few seconds more light each day and by March it will be 3 minutes a day. It’s what Christmas is all about for me, nature’s cycles - and hope. #naturewriting

Ah, distinctly I remember; And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. #theraven Edgar Allen Poe.

The power of an author …to make me sob at the demise of a canny politician with blood on his hands. The final episode of the tv adaption of the late, great Hilary Mantel’s #themirrorandthelight has floored me.

The sun has come out so now it looks like the gods have had the sugar shaker out. #naturewriting #lunchbreak

Here’s one from my lunchtime walk

Hello Blueskies. A glimmer of a silver lining as the world turns cold. Late autumn and the starlings are gathering.
