Croome

Cherub breath

Cherub breath

by JDO | posted in: Buildings, Skies, Worcestershire | 0

R and I went for a walk around Croome this morning, where they were theoretically fully booked – leastwise, it was indicated to us at the gate that we could only go into the car park if we already had … Continued

Croome

by JDO | posted in: Birds, Worcestershire | 0

Flushed with success after finding a Migrant Hawker at Charlecote yesterday, I took myself off to Croome this afternoon to see if there were still any dragons about there. There were, but I should have gone in the morning: by … Continued

Normal service

by JDO | posted in: Dragonflies, Invertebrates, Odonata, Worcestershire | 0

I went to Croome this afternoon, where normal service has been resumed to the extent that if you’re feeling lucky (punk), you can chance turning up without a booking, and if they’re not too busy they’ll let you in. Rather … Continued

Another Thursday, another visit to Croome with R, and another Migrant Hawker. He’s not as well posed as the one I blipped on Tuesday, but I can hardly blame him for that. He’s also pretty shabby, and so is the … Continued

Spotlit

I sent a few hours today at Croome, where it was hot and sunny, and lots of people were sitting around the lake – some with picnics – as we would all have liked to do during August if the … Continued

Makin’ whoopee

by JDO | posted in: Dragonflies, Invertebrates, Odonata, Worcestershire | 0

I left home this morning in warm sunshine, but by the time I reached Croome the temperature had dropped and the light was Stygian, and as I was walking through the shrubbery towards the lake it began to rain. I … Continued

Late to the party

by JDO | posted in: Dragonflies, Invertebrates, Odonata, Worcestershire | 0

The dragonfly walk at Croome: so poor today, I did it twice. Two and a half times, if you add in a third circuit of the lake. Still, at least all the steps justified me making a chicken and pesto … Continued

Resident Migrant

by JDO | posted in: Dragonflies, Invertebrates, Odonata, Worcestershire | 0

I went for a solo dragon walk at Croome this morning. The insane winds of the last few days had dropped and the temperature was pleasant for walking, and although I missed having R to chat to, the advantage of … Continued

Darter love

by JDO | posted in: Dragonflies, Invertebrates, Odonata, Worcestershire | 0

This morning R and I went for what’s now becoming a habitual Thursday National Trust Walk – this time at Croome, which continues to be a place that soothes our souls. It was breezy but sunny, and after the unsettled … Continued

Basking

by JDO | posted in: Dragonflies, Invertebrates, Odonata, Worcestershire | 0

R and I went to Croome this morning, where the dragon-fest I was anticipating failed to happen, but where we had a very pleasant walk nonetheless. This Ruddy Darter was basking on the gravel path near the house, and having … Continued
