Former hill & moorland walker. After major lower leg reconstruction, now an amateur wildlife and landscape photographer. Locked in a concrete jungle, very concerned for the countryside.

Quick! Today is the last day to sign the petition to protect brown hares from shooting during the breeding season & save their young from starvation. Please consider signing if you haven't already or pass on to friends & family if you have.

Aster, an autumn flowering plant, usually dying off by now, but late flowering this year, and looking good.
Supposedly to support late hibernating insects.

Nice photos Rob.
Minsmere seem to be doing well with the Bittern. Was watching @hamzayassin.bsky.social Wild Isles bittern footage.

Not low level flying the Mach Loop, but Screech Owl and Animal Sanctuary.
