I spent the morning fighting my web site and losing, and then suddenly realised that it was 2pm on a heavily overcast day, and if I didn’t get a wriggle on and find something to photograph, what light there was … Continued

Both male and female great spotted woodpeckers put in an appearance in the woodland behind Hillers’ garden this afternoon. This is the female, identifiable by the lack of a red cap, though otherwise she’s pretty similar to the male. I … Continued

The English name ‘chaffinch’ is neatly descriptive, because this is a finch that is will search through chaff to find grain to eat. ‘Fringilla’ is the Latin word for a finch, and Linnaeus named this species ‘coelebs’, meaning single, because … Continued

The afternoon was getting murky by the time I got to Dunnington, after a bright morning which would have been great for photography, but which I’d had to waste on boring and irritating errands. The stress of the morning made … Continued

“Handsome is as handsome does,” the oldies used to say, gnomishly. I never knew what it meant – and in my childhood you weren’t exactly encouraged to challenge adult pronouncements (however glib, incomprehensible or just plain wrong they seemed to … Continued

I didn’t have time to go gadding about after birds today, with the rest of the Christmas decorations still waiting to be put up. But I didn’t get where I am today by prioritising things that need doing quite urgently … Continued
