Blacka Moor: On The Road - the A625

http://theblackamoorsite.blogspot.com/2015/08/on-road-a625.html

Thursday, 13 August 2015. On The Road - the A625. There was a time, some 20 years ago perhaps, and many times before that, when we regularly would hear voices raised saying “something must be done about it. 8221; or, it went on, the national park will be destroyed, its appeal lost for good. The wall bounding Blacka has been regularly punctured by vehicles over the years. And the bus stop. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A selection of recent header pictures here.

Blacka Moor: Topical Ambivalence

http://theblackamoorsite.blogspot.com/2015/08/topical-ambivalence.html

Wednesday, 5 August 2015. This time of year illustrates well the fatalistic notion that everything good always manages to be balanced by something not so good. Or contrariwise or 'glass-half-full': clouds have a silver lining. The results can be seen and we await this year's bashfest probably within weeks. Very close by we can see where trees were destroyed early this year: there is an absence of bracken around the stumps. Having said all that, I've got mixed feelings about all this ambivalence. Others f...

Blacka Moor: Wanderings and Encounters

http://theblackamoorsite.blogspot.com/2015/08/wanderings-and-encounters.html

Sunday, 9 August 2015. Lost yer way, 'ave yer? Said to me many times as a response to my habitual puzzled look. Most recently I've heard that deer have been seen in the city's General Cemetery quite close to the inner ring road. The report mentioned roe deer but also that a muntjac had been attacked by a dog within the grounds. I've seen no muntjac as yet on Blacka but they may be around. They are not herd animals and their spread across the country testifies to their wanderings. Art and the Bilberry Pie.

Blacka Moor: Why Blacka Moor?

http://theblackamoorsite.blogspot.com/p/why-blacka-moor.html

1 Too much top down management and too little local accountability. 2 A conservation industry that is out of control, never properly scrutinised and governing public perceptions by agenda-setting press releases. 3 A lack of adventure and imagination among the managers who are responsible for those parts of our landscape that are in public ownership.Still largely driven by the same self serving motivations of the farming and game shooting industries. The needs of a growing conservation industry? Sheffield...

Blacka Moor: Wildlife

http://theblackamoorsite.blogspot.com/p/deer-and-other-wildlife.html

In their freedom the red deer are similar to roe deer which also exist in the woods and open areas. The differences are in size and also habits. Roe deer are territorial, the bucks not welcoming the presence of other males, and there are often two or three does in a group. While all deer are timid and avoid humans roe deer are even more so than the red. It's not common to see roe deer out during the day. They like the twilight hours. This page has concentrated on the mammals because much of the attention...

Blacka Moor: August 2015

http://theblackamoorsite.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html

Sunday, 30 August 2015. The selfless work put in to raise a family and then they turn on you. The elegant youngster didn't hesitate to have a go at his near-threadbare parents. Larkin just got it wrong? Links to this post. There've been some cooler nights lately. It came to mind when I watched the sheep in the grazing desert. Walking towards me lambs accompanying ewes. The older ewes will have felt the cold as they were sheared not long ago so coats are pretty thin. Not long to wait. Links to this post.
