Neat

by JDO | posted in: Bees, Invertebrates, My garden, Worcestershire | 0

It rained again. And again, and again. Because this had put me in a vile mood anyway, it seemed worth me spending the morning challenging my car insurance renewal, which was being quoted at a 50% hike over last year’s … Continued

Spotted

by JDO | posted in: Hoverflies, Invertebrates, My garden, Worcestershire | 0

I spotted this hoverfly, which Falk calls a Spotted Meliscaeva and Obsidentify calls a Spotted Thintail, down in the wild garden, where I’d risked walking because nothing higher up the garden was letting me get a lens anywhere near it. … Continued

Refreshment break

It was an unexpectedly bright day today, though still cold. At intervals through the day I thought about going up to the owl field, but I really wanted to get Lightroom working on the new Mac, and all my files … Continued

Under the weather

Wrong

by JDO | posted in: Flowers and plants, My garden, Worcestershire | 0

It rained – sometimes forcefully – from dawn till dusk today, apart from ten minutes in the early afternoon, when the downpour apparently lost concentration and allowed itself to fizzle out. I took advantage of the lull and scuttled outside … Continued
