Well said

I missed Elsie several times in Northumberland and Norfolk so was very pleased to catch up with the Dawlish bird yesterday

That’s a good haul.

All the best, and a timely reminder (as was Bjorn Bjorg on the tv this morning). I have an annual test now

No apologies necessary. Thanks for the photos- I have now moved away from Norfolk so enjoy them as reminders of a great place

Yes I know where you are standing to take that - masses of gorse on the heath. Really lovely scent in a nice warm day - and keep your eye out for Green Hairstreaks.

A lovely spot. Must smell of coconut

It’s one of the memories from Covid for me - the real blueness of the sky without jets and their pollution/vapour trails.

Always next year….

She really doesn’t like change or disturbance does she. Nice shots

Are there many ESO out yet please?

Did my square this morning in west Oxfordshire. No Woodlarks - which is not surprising - but worryingly no Skylarks either in a predominantly arable area.

Is it the case that idealism is rife when the kids are in teens/ early 20’s and then the harsh realities of life kick in? …. Jobs/housing etc?

I did mean retirement not pretty!

Have got heat pump going in shortly, have an EV and will probably go for Solar and Batteries this year. Meanwhile use renewables only leccy supplier. Lucky to be able to afford to do all of this. Haven’t travelled much - thought I’d do it in pretty- but now don’t fly. We have to make sacrifices now

I’m with Steve on this - pretty pessimistic about my generation changing much (I am 64).I have two daughters in late 20’s/early 30’s and their generation is challenged by need to buy houses and live generally that they can’t afford to be very climate aware. I am trying to do my bit 1/2

Agaric for me

The geese at dawn today were spectacular from Whin Cover, with a superb sky as a backdrop.
