The odd glimpse of sunshine on Thursley Common today. I fear that it will be raining until 2026 #EnglishWeather #DartfordWarbler & usual suspects #SurreyBirding

A real treat this book. A story of stories that weave together & flow in to the River Tigris.
The Epic of Gilgamesh being at the core of this story.
So much is written about the Epic and its relationship with the Hebrew Bible, most notably the Garden of Eden and Noah & the Arc. Fascinating stuff 👍

Air temperatures, soil temperatures and reanalyses all agree on how the UK’s climate has warmed & varied over the past decades.
Don’t listen to the usual critics who try to claim otherwise…

Saw my first swallow fly overhead, as I took the pooch for a rumble across the Surrey meadow. Great wildflowers on the margins #bluebells @plantlifeuk.bsky.social

My April #BBCCountryfile column focuses on my deep love & involvement with #libraries. Oh how we need them - books & so, so very much more; key to vibrant, resilient, connected & empowered communities. Gorgeous illustration from Lynn Hatzius. People mentioned 1/2

Lovely walk with the pooch around @rspb.bsky.social Farnham Heath. Heard a woodcock that must have been disturbed by all those stonechats & chiffchaffs 🐧

Pooch spotted a woodlark singing away at sunset yesterday.
It was singing away on top of a birch sapling on Surrey Lowland Heath. Tonight’s treat was a rumble around the meadow listening to Meadow Pipits & Song Thrush #CleverPooch
