THE WESSEX REIVER: Flying Ant Day
http://wessexreiver.blogspot.com/2015/08/flying-ant-day.html
A man cannot drift up into a corner of some green lane, and stay in his cottage out of the tide of life, as was once the case. The tide comes to him." Richard Jefferies 1883. Sunday, 2 August 2015. Christmas comes but once a year was the title of a 1930's short film, and in most years this is undoubtedly true. However in August 2015 the Festive Season began early, four months early, and with a nod to Rudolph involved a species of animal we don't expect to see on the wing - ants to be precise. This mass e...

Careering Through Nature: August 2014
http://creamcrackerednature.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, 31 August 2014. My Run, My Town, My Record. Today I ran the 9 or so miles to Cotham, and back to town through Hawton. Much were the sights, many butterflies and dragonflies along the Sustrans 64 cycling route including some very large brown hawkers near the rubbish tip, and some of the last meadow browns of the season. Proper photographers must hate them! It used to be an expensive and exclusive hobby, now any shaky handed fool can take a decent picture. Or maybe they can't? Once again, I wasn't ...

Careering Through Nature: October 2014

Wednesday, 29 October 2014. Owls in Newark Today. Kilton raptor rescue visited the town centre, in Halloween get up, and brought some beautiful raptors once again for us to enjoy. Today's birds were mainly owls, and a glorious collection they were too. Some form of long eared owl, I think. OK, I'm not an owl. I'm a buzzard. Grey scopps owl. Don't touch his mouse. Great grey owl, with his dish face enhancing hearing, he can hear a mouse's heartbeat. Tuesday, 28 October 2014. Watched from across the Devon.

Careering Through Nature: July 2015
http://creamcrackerednature.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, 30 July 2015. This former chapel, built in 1556 and standing close to the modern day Newark and Sherwood College, is a building that has always intrigued me. But now, it has been court, and converted into an "Odinist Temple" for local followers of a Viking - Pagan cult based on nature. More information can be found here! I think it's a fantastic building, different as can be from the town's Masonic Lodge. The stipples on the stonework are a connection to men of a different age entirely. Luckily...

A man cannot drift up into a corner of some green lane, and stay in his cottage out of the tide of life, as was once the case. The tide comes to him." Richard Jefferies 1883. Tuesday, 20 May 2014. Spring cleaning after an Orkneyinga Saga - part 1. Orkney from Thurso beach. So what has all this to do this posting? By the end of the 10 days I still had £180 left and that included paying for 2,100 miles worth of diesel. Where am I going with this? Tickets for the ferry. Hoy from Hoy Sound. Their colours, li...

Wednesday, 29 October 2014. October 29th 2014 - Before dawn. Being English of course the first thing I did was to make a nice cup of tea, before switching all the lights off in the house, ventured onto the seating area in the garden. And so I experimented - 10 second exposures and hurling the camera around like a madman. I like ...

This Blog will be bits and pieces from here and there. Nature, Gardening, Travel and Photography whatever I find interesting at the time. Friday, 3 April 2015. Had a recent Central Coast family weekend staying at Foresters beach and had some good photo opportunities. Our first day the weather was a bit threatening but a walk along the beach was very pleasant. On the rocks at the southern end of the beach a White-faced Heron was intent as it searched the rock pools. Labels: Central Coast weekend. Fortunat...
