For as long as I can remember I've had a love of natural history, especially birds.
So many of the things we see, the experiences we taste, are but a fleeting moment, there to be treasured, but all too often flying away to rest only in our memories. I'm trying to improve my photography so that it too can try and capture some of those moments. As I look at the WAB gallery, I'll have to let my admiration lead to aspiration, not desparation. In the meantime, I can jot down a few experiences and thoughts by way of a blog - nothing too profound, just what it says on the tin... my miscellaneous musings. Thanks for taking the time to have a look and please feel free to leave any comments.

Is it me, or has harvest started early this year? When I was a boy, we would always look out for harvesting when we went to the East of England Show, usually held around the 20th of July, but I saw my first harvested field (probably barley) last Saturday, the 11th. This one is just up the road:
A somewhat tenuous link, but it got me thinking about how nature is permanently in on the harvesting theme, whether it's from the sea, the air or the land. I saw a fox the other night skulking away from a dead deer in the road, and a dead rabbit in a nearby field has virtually disappeared now, superbly recycled by a host of flies and their offspring. Millipedes and woodlice do an amazing job, mostly unseen, as they eat their way through the decaying leaves and vegetation on the forest floor. And of course the carbon cycle goes on as plants grow from the nutrients left behind. What an amazing world we live in!
