This is the second image of a flooded playground I’ve seen in the last few days illustrating the impact of heavy rain on our everyday lives
It’s an important reminder that space for children’s play needs to be climate-resilient too - and indeed that playspace can mitigate extreme weather.

Absolutely gobsmacked. One of the most amazing birding sights I’ve seen in Northumberland - here’s some of the 30 Cranes (up to 38 were reported by others) that spent the afternoon in a field next to the A1 just north of Alnwick. #NEbirding #UKbirding #birds

Day 10 #12dayswild and I couldn't not wrap up warm and go for a wander around in the newly fallen snow❄️
Nature was in her element- everything was elegantly dressed in white, from the trees to a dried-out hogweed flower. The sun and blue sky lit everything up - gorgeous!

“When it snows, children take over the city: they sleigh, throw snowballs, make snowmen and are more visible than ever. But what a city needs for its children has to be more durable than snow.” (Aldo van Eyck)

The RSPB invited the British public to vote on this year’s Bird of the Year. Guess which bird won with 81% of the vote? A bird who needs the prize to be swift bricks! Oh yes, the swift won. Email your MP now about swifts. We need to pull together for Britain’s most popular bird

Hellllllloooo? Are you there? Please help birds by sharing this if you also want to ensure swifts & other urban birds have homes alongside us. People power works but only if we work together. SAVE OUR SWIFTS.

Bird of the place-name 93: RAMSDEAN (WSsx). OE hramn + denu. ‘The raven’s valley.’ Close to where I grew up, just outside Worthing. Near a Roman site and Iron Age Cissbury. Mentioned in a 10th charter. #birdsandplace #naturewriting

The trees in Northumberland are already hinting at changing colours- to rust, ochre, orange.
Even the most familiar places seem, mysterious and magical when transformed by Nature's "paintbrush"...

An Ecology of Love & Ruin; a long goodbye & an acknowledgement that, what we feared for so long, never came to pass. More of this in my first book #OnGallowsDown #BookSky nicolachester.com/2025/08/20/a...
An Ecology of Love & Ruin
The Last Apple Harvest After twenty-one years, we are leaving this place. And not in the manner I so often feared we might – at our most vulnerable, and with nowhere else to go, like so many before…
