Some views from my run up and down Dodd this evening. Felt good tonight, this might be progress 🤔

It's feeling very spring-like at the moment. Hopefully it won't be long before the Barn Swallows return to my village. This is one of my favourite images I captured of them last summer 🌞

I've been neglecting my blog over the past twelve months or so and thought I should resurrect it. Here is a bit of a catch up as to where I've been and what I'm doing now 😀

I’m still here and what happened to 2024?
Well, things rarely go that smoothly do they? Life just likes to put some bumps in the road, to keep us all grounded! Just when things were going to plan, my bipolar symptoms decided to give me the…

Some views from Wren Crag this morning. Supposed to be a run, but more of a hike today.

A few wildlife pics taken yesterday in Wigton. I'm still to get a decent Grey Wagtail image, but had to share this one, because they are such a stunning bird 🤩

Some nice wintry views from the Sale Fell area (Lake District National Park, Cumbria) yesterday afternoon ❄️😍

A few pics from a hike up Binsey yesterday; also a couple of images of a feint Aurora Borealis seen from Waverton last night. A nice start to 2025, but 2024 did set a very low bar 🤔😂

Some views from my hike up Latrigg this morning. A small passage of Pinkfooted Geese over the tops and a Raven were the wildlife highlights.

Some White-throated Dipper and Long-tailed Tit pictures taken locally here in North Cumbria (UK).

Some Aurora borealis pics from last night just by my home in North Cumbria, UK. The reds were visible with the naked eye, and you could see the 'dancing'. Simply stunning 🤩

Playing with my new camera yesterday, quite pleased with the Emperor flight shot 😁.

I photographed this small bee (c7mm) in Maryport yesterday. I think it may be one of the leafcutters, but I'm not certain. Any thoughts @robyaxley.bsky.social ?

Broad-bodied Chaser photographed earlier this week in Wigton. This species used to be scarce in North Cumbria, but they are well established here now.

Some recent wildlife that I've encountered in West Cumbria and the Northern Fells.

For my first post in this brave new world, here is a picture of Steppe Grey Shrike, that I photographed in Lincolnshire years ago. This is one of many wildlife images featured in my book 'You Don't Look Like An Ultrarunner'.
