The partial solar eclipse this morning, taken from Winchester, using an old Nikon Coolpix and even older eclipse specs (1999). Note the sunspot that put out an X-flare yesterday. #moon #StormHour @bbcnews-uk-rss.bsky.social @apod.shinyakato.dev @scinews.bsky.social @itvnews.bsky.social

It's a little hazy out there, but I managed to catch the man in the moon, using a Nikon bridge camera. Taken 6th March, around 18:20. #astronomy @davidbflower.bsky.social @earthskyscience.bsky.social #astro #nightsky #StormHour

The weather is still grey, stormy, cold and dark and very, very Monday in the UK. Here is a photo I took of a golden afternoon on the river walk in Winchester, last month. #landscapephotography #ThePhotohour #weather

I did see this fellow yesterday, so maybe he counts towards the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch. Affronted egret, Winchester college grounds. #birds #BigGardenBirdWatch #Winterwatch

Swans at their toilet on the river Itchen, taken a few days ago where the sun produced marmalade mist at sunrise. A little too early for the RSPB Garden Birdwatch. #naturelovers #stormhour #winter
