| | Welcome to our newest member, Penali18 | | 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.

We had a really good run up the A1, managing the journey in around 3 hours from Peterborough where we had stopped for a family wedding, including a good half-hour stop-off at a Little Chef about 20 minutes away. The wedding had been blessed with glorious weather, so the outdoor marquee was ideal. The boys suffered somewhat, having to entertain themselves for most of the afternoon, but all in all managed admirably. We had somehow arrived at the church around 5 minutes before the... | Commander of the Wild Empire | | Comments 0
 | | Posted 05-08-2009 at 11:14 PM by Jonners I decided rather hurriedly early Saturday afternoon, that a couple of nights camping might just about be feasible. Julia was going to be working Saturday and Sunday afternoon/evenings and therefore likely sleeping the following mornings so when I found a campsite near Woodbridge that would take me and the boys, we decided to go for it. The BBC weather forecast predicted rain around 4pm, so I hoped the brief light shower at around 2:30 was a one off and perhaps indicative of maybe a more optimistic... | Commander of the Wild Empire | | | Comments 0
| | Posted 27-07-2009 at 12:03 AM by Jonners We went ( en famille) over to Needingworth, near St Ives yesterday afternoon, for a pleasant hour and a half boat trip along the river. It's such a wonderful way to see the wildlife of the river, be that the occasional glimpse of a kingfisher or the more numerous Mute Swans and Canada Geese  . Yesterday we also saw a Little Egret, perched in one of the large bushes that crossed the meadows  .... | Commander of the Wild Empire | | | Comments 0
| | Posted 23-07-2009 at 11:40 PM by Jonners Ah yes, the school holidays are well and truly upon us, and with them comes the inevitable tension between working and doing more interesting things during the day! As I work mostly from home, that tension is sometimes very "in-your-face" and so I can look forward to six weeks of circus-time - balancing acts, juggling, hopefully a bit of time to clown around, and some animals thrown in for good measure.
Yesterday afternoon, I decided to take the boys to one of our local-ish spots... | Commander of the Wild Empire | | | Comments 0
| | Posted 18-07-2009 at 01:05 AM by Jonners The last day of term for the boys so I had thought I might see if any of them fancied a spot of nightjar-watching. However, after a day of showers, and more persistent rain seeming to set in towards late afternoon, I decided that eating out followed by a walk around Dunwich Heath in search of glow-worms might be more appealing (and who knows, I might get a nightjar thrown in too). I think the exertions of the Summer term must have caught up on them, as none of them appeared particularly enthused,... | Commander of the Wild Empire | | | Comments 0
