by JDO | posted in: Birds, Warwickshire | 0

Worth the wait

by JDO | posted in: Birds, Gloucestershire | 0

After (virtuously, if rather belatedly) doing my tax return this morning, I zoomed off to the Cotswolds, arriving at the owl field at 1.20pm to find Hillyblips already set up and ready to shoot. We then stood… and stood… and … Continued

The weather having turned out to be better than forecast, I found myself leaving my tax return for yet another day, and heading up to the owl field. When I arrived it was very pleasant, and the light was good. … Continued

Family group

Almonry

by JDO | posted in: Buildings, Worcestershire | 0

It says nothing to my credit that, despite having lived in the area for over quarter of a century, I’ve never actually been inside the Almonry Museum in Evesham. I’ll try to remedy that this year. The building was originally … Continued
