Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary who found a heron in Regents Park which has taken to the law. Well, at least it is sitting on the bench. In contrast to the yesterday’s gloom, today dawned bight and sunny and the day was made even sunnier when Dropscone arrived with treacle scones forContinue reading “Absolutely shuttered”

Low down behaviour
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary who was on my brother Andrew’s birthday trip at the end of last month. This is the Severn at Worcester. We had a beautifully sunny morning here. There was still a bit of snow around and as I had to go up to the Moorland Feeders toContinue reading “Low down behaviour”
A spotted woodpecker
Today’s guest picture comes from our daughter Annie. She is working in Zurich this week and took a picture of the sunset there this evening. There was no chance of a sunset here today…or a sunrise…or a sun anything as the sun was conspicuous by its absence all day. The forecast told me that ifContinue reading “A spotted woodpecker”
A day of decisions
The guest picture of the day comes from a visit to Wakefield that my brother made a few weeks ago. The theatre there is a handsome but modest building as befits a down to earth town. After some quite heavy rain overnight and a rather misty, murky morning, today turned into a very pleasant day. Continue reading “A day of decisions”
Pecking order
Today’s guest picture is another from our older son’s visit to Anstruther and shows that he took his friends with him. Another of the regular Moorland bird feeders was away on holiday today so I had a second opportunity this week to act as a fill-in feeder filler so I went up after breakfast toContinue reading “Pecking order”
Ill met
Today’s guest picture shows a flowery scene from Kew Gardens which caught my sister Mary’s eye. The forecast was full of dire warnings of heavy rain, possible thunderstorms and general mayhem. In the event, midsummer’s day was a quiet day with some very light rain now and again, hardly a breath of wind and justContinue reading “Ill met”
Really getting my goat
Today’s guest picture is another from Gavin’s visit to Yosemite and shows a quite well known waterfall there. We had another chilly but dry day today. This was a bit of a surprise as we had been promised rain. Dropscone is going on holiday on the Isle of Skye next week so he cameContinue reading “Really getting my goat”
A slow day
Today’s guest picture was taken by my friend Bruce, who was on a trip to the east of the country. He had climbed all of the 132 steps up a dark, narrow, spiral staircase to get to the top of the the Garleton Monument and was rewarded by this splendid view of the country stretchingContinue reading “A slow day”
Put out to grass
Today’s guest picture is another from the Menger family’s Highland meander. It shows the daughter of the house holding a cushion starfish which they met on on a fishing trip they took from Islonia, an island kingdom near Gairloch. For the second day running, I was acting as a relief feeder filler for the Moorland FeedersContinue reading “Put out to grass”
All hail (and a little snow too)
Today’s guest picture harks back to my siblings’ visit at the start of this month and shows Skelwith Force in the Lake District. It was taken by my sister Mary. We had another day of mixed sunshine and showers here with some impressive cloudscapes. Plans were once again slightly frustrated but the day worked outContinue reading “All hail (and a little snow too)”
