“What are you looking at?” said a voice next to me. “A Migrant Hawker,” I replied, still leaning way out over the bridge rail and peering downwards through the camera viewfinder. But hearing him hiss, “What did she say?” at … Continued

It was a dour kind of a day, but having no temptation to go out hunting inverts this afternoon did at least mean that I got a lot of other things done around the house. Shortening my to-do list didn’t … Continued

Commitment

I had to go to Stratford this morning for yet more blood tests – that’s three sets in four weeks, which I think might be some kind of record – and I decided to reduce my angst afterwards with some … Continued

Stealth

One of R’s oldest friends came to call today (that’s to say, they’ve known each other since school, rather than that he’s in any sense geriatric), so I left them to their boy talk and went off to Stratford to … Continued

Losing the toss

R and I went to Stratford this morning, for the first time in a while, for walking, coffee, and cake. We were heading back towards Old Town on the south side of the river when we saw this heron standing … Continued

One of yesterday’s errands was to collect a parcel that I’d had delivered to a shop in Stratford. Imagine my amusement when I got home and discovered the parcel they’d handed over to me wasn’t mine – I should have … Continued

I still feel as though I’m running down an up escalator, while simultaneously juggling eggs and spinning plates, but en route to Warwick this afternoon I stopped for half an hour in Stratford, and walked down to the river to … Continued

Alderfly

by JDO | posted in: Invertebrates, Warwickshire | 0
