Quite a dramatic morning…

Rocky water fall.

I guess it's been there for thousands of years but it was new to me and Monty Dog this morning, and we had it all to ourselves. Light Spout Waterfall above Carding Mill Valley, #Shropshire . Great to be out walking a bit further again after some surgery recently.

Sounds like mine too. 🤣

Oh no! Hope you escaped a soaking!!! I didn’t. 🤣

I was up there too! It caught me out a couple of times today…

Sunday walk.

A snowy scene on the Long Mynd tonight with the Milky Way climbing through colourful airglow

Another sparkling night on the Long Mynd, and absolutely freezing! Milky Way and airglow shining over the crunchy snow (with apologies for Mr Musk's interference in the corner 🙄) #astrophotography #Shropshire

Stopped on my way home, this was too good to miss! #moon

Adult Bewick's amongst a bevy of Whooper Swans

2 Bewick's and 3 Whooper Swans

An intriguing wigeon with more than a passing resemblance to an American, amongst Eurasian Wigeons on a sandbank

The Thurnham Moss Bewick's Swans showed nicely amongst a herd of Whoopers by Clarkson's Farm this afternoon. Unfortunately the same couldn't be said of an interesting wigeon on the Wyre... #lancsbirding #ukbirding

Very slight hint of #Aurora above the #LongMynd, #ChurchStretton, #Shropshire tonight.

Tonight, looking east. The bright star on the left above the highest point on the horizon is #Jupiter. The two stars above it are part of #Gemini. To the right of the photo is #Orion. Look just to the right of the 3 star belt, you can just make out the #nebular.

A secret #Shropshire cave. Unfortunately, I couldn’t go in today as it’s a popular place for bats to sleep. #photography #wildlife
