I've made a new list on @bookshop.org of books that explore nature / walking / the outdoors by disabled, neurodivergent and chronically ill writers - Nature Beyond Cure - aka our own narratives are messy and complex. Do share! #BookSky #DisabledWriters

Nature Beyond Cure: Disabled Perspectives
Books that explore nature and living with disability and illness from disability perspectives. No magical cures here!

I will forever be haunted by this footage.

Trawling has only been filmed underwater a few times in documentary history, and never with such clarity.

What’s so heart-rending about these shots is watching how the animals don’t just get swept up — they swim for their lives.

A few of many highlights from a lovely walk up the Ouse and north of York on Friday. Sand martins, reed buntings and my first spots of a yellowhammer and whitethroats. #ukbirding #yorkbirding

Starlings over Holgate in York this afternoon - I’d been looking to find good sites anywhere in Yorkshire, and suddenly they have arrived 5 minutes from our house! #naturewriting #natureonyourdoorstep

A glorious, crisp frost on the allotment this morning, and an unexpected delicacy: naturally frozen cape gooseberries.

Will start my efforts here with a couple of blue(ish) sky glimpses from this morning - a peaceful walk alongside the Ouse, from York to Moor Monkton and Redhouse Wood. #natureonyourdoorstep #yorkshirenature #yorkpics
