After an hour of build-up, the chatter of half a million starlings had reached its crescendo.
I pulled my binoculars to my eyes and saw a motorway of starlings, whizzing from right to left just above the reeds.
The show was about to begin.

This natural spectacle easily trumps the northern lights (and you can see it in the UK)
Somerset’s sunset starling murmuration may attract the crowds, but come at sunrise and you will have the spectacle all to yourself

Yesterday morning, I went to the Somerset Levels 90 minutes before sunrise.
After the tempestuous weekend it was calm and clear. I waded through deep puddles accompanied by the hoots of a tawny owl, the whee-oo of widgeons, the squeal of a water rail.
And then, as if from nowhere, from the reeds:

Life in Bosham is governed by the tide. At low tide, an ice cream van emerges alongside the seaweed in Bosham Quay.
Then as the tide comes in, people travel about on kayaks and sailboats, while visitors enjoy fish and chips on the sea wall. #travel #sussex

Airlines hate it, and passengers should be wary of it.

I remember when Twitter was a genuinely exciting place for #travel journalists, film makers photographers (etc) to share their stories.
Wonder if we can recreate that over here?
On my part, I'll be sharing bits and bobs from my travels as a newspaper journalist / as a man of the South Downs. 🌄📷

Did you know that Rome, right now, is one very big and very noisy building site as it prepares for the Jubilee Year?
I went last week on assignment. And I took lots of photos, but this was my favourite.
The drama, the romance, the passion, the pathos. Like a Roman tragedy in one frame.
