The first of the Salmon and Ingram transcribed documents are now online A lot of hard work, more to come when time allows cardiffnaturalists.org.uk/htmfiles/Sal... #birdphotography #wildlife #Cardiff

Extended seabed geology map of the Bristol Channel published 🗺️ 🌊 Renewable energy infrastructure, whether on- or offshore, requires an in-depth understanding and accurate characterisation of the underlying geology. 🧵

Wildlife watching at home. Phone photo through the patio doors of a frog in a flower pot #amphibian #wildlife #wildlifephotography #wales #nature

You want me to respect the Earth.. Well I do, obviously a lot more than the person who spray painted on this bit of local geology #omsystem #olympus #geology #landscapephotography #Triassic #Wales #BarryIsland

Did you watch Countryfile talking about Cherry Kearton? One of our members Grandmother was so impressed with his talk she bought the book and went to Uganda for 10 years with her husband teaching in local schools. Wildlife photography and talks have always inspired Join ours!

What a topsy turvy world we live in ... That's the clue and one of the pictures should be a give away #OMsystem #Olympus #Landscapephotography #Nature #Naturephotography #B&W #BlackandWhite #Wales #Clydach

#Scarborough is a wonderful place when it's sunny. Here's 11 pictures that I took and stitched together to get a super wide view of the North bay #Yorkshire #Seaside #OMSystem #Olympus #Wideangle (to see the wide view click on the picture)

Still playing with some #B&W this time its a #Tree and #Ruin from the #Yorkshiredales #OMsystem #Olympus

Thus time of year (in the northern hemisphere anyway) the leaves take on an even greater level of interest IMO. Some of the trees are already dropping probably due to drought stress Interesting in colour, but I lke it in B&W as well #OMsystem #Olympus #B&W #trees #nature #autumn

Going through some old pictures as I sort out on my new computer and definitely having a Black and White phase at the moment #B&W #OMsystem #Olympus #landscape #landscapephotography #trees #Wales

The wrinkled skin of the earth! For those who are not sure what the B&W is it's the faulted and jointed Jurassic aged rocks at the foot of this cliff in South Wales #omsystem #olympus #B&W #landscape #landscapephotography

Having a play with some images. This is a bridge I drive over frequently #OMsystem #Olympus #Landscape #Landscapephotography #bridges

Just visited Ruthie the Edmontosaurus in the National museum of Wales in Cardiff Nice to see an old friend. I remember her in kit form before we put her together. She appears on the film #Dinosaur13 during that building #dinosaur #NMW

Who you looking at? Puffin with Sandeels, Skomer island Wales, UK #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #birdphotography #OMsystem #olympus

Time to cut the hedge as the birds have finished nesting... What's this? My research suggests it's a field mouse nest (empty I checked carefully). I put it back a bit lower after cutting in case it was still useful to someone #wildlife #mammals #mouse

Even in colour and in the natural sunshine this red feed bucket stood out amongst the flood deposited driftwood and rubbish. The "colour Splash" technique isn't one I usually use, but it felt right for this picture #OMsystem #Olympus #LandscapePhotography

I recently found my old cave geology webpage id forgotten about so I've started updating it in case it's useful to people www.shenstone.me.uk/galleries/un... #cave #karst #speleology #geology

Nicely set up for a cup of tea in the sunshine #landrover #4x4

The Flagpole has been erected for the day #yorkshireday #4x4 #landrover

Happy #yorkshire day to all my friends especially those ooop north (but not too far ooop north)

From what I see online, it's time for a reminder that the tongue-twister 'she sells sea shells' has *nothing* to do with #MaryAnning. It's an 1850s elocution exercise, elaborated into a music hall song by 1908. The earliest reference linking it with Anning is 1975. blogs.loc.gov/folklife/201...

Camping at Margam park in Wales. Stunning location and wild deer wandering around Really hot, very pleased about my solar system powering the fridge to keep the beer cold #Landrover #4x4

First crop of potatoes for the year. These are 2nd earlies. Certainly enough for a couple of meals from one bag (7 more to crop) #gardening #vegplot #homegrown #spuds

Took the father-in-laws Morris 8 to have the breaks problem investigated #morris #classiccar

Had a fun road run with the two tractors and #LandRover Katy to the local agricultural show #4x4 #Machenshow #T20 #35X

Want something to read? Like looking at pictures You'll find some good nature information and pictures in the latest newsletter is online at cardiffnaturalists.org.uk/htmfiles/new... #birds #birdphotography #nature #wales #botany #weather

Isn't the internet wonderful for reaching out to people, but also Isn't the printed book excellent for holding on to useful information. Here's a recent success in our Facebook group www.facebook.com/groups/Cardi... #MorreySalmon #Birdphotography #naturephotography

It's a pity that this #fakenews regarding #marconi is still in place with no clarification given that we published evidence that he wasn't first many years ago and that Sir John Gavey beat him by 5 years. www.cardiffnaturalists.org.uk/htmfiles/150...

Great weekend at the GBLR show, excellent vehicles and cakes and helping out people #landrover #landroverkaty

We watched the original (and still the best) Jurassic Park film last evening and just afterwards I discovered that a distant descendant of the Velocoraptor had been at work in our garden

Proud of @rhiankendall.bsky.social who's work is featured in senedd.wales/visit/exhibi...

Free logs from some rotten trees in our local park for recycling into the wood shed. The rotten bits left for habitat piles

Memories of a great road trip in the USA which are in the talk I'm giving to Cardiff Camera club tonight #omsystem #olympus #landscape #nature #photography #geology

I just set up an account for Cardiff Naturalists Society bsky.app/profile/card... The go to group for people interested in #wildife #nature #birds #animals in the Cardiff area since 1867

Lovely prevailing wind indicator on my recent wandering in South Wales #OMsystem #olympus #naturephotography #trees #walls

A couple of views of the 35X that was out of the barn the day before yesterday. It's not looking bad for something that was dragged from a hedge and rebuilt about 15 years ago. #Tractor #vintage #OMsystem #Olympus

Had fun yesterday lying on a wet lawn with my camera right at the edge of the pond. This little lady/fella (not sure how to tell) just watched me as I crept closer and closer on my elbows and knees #OMsystem #Olympus #Wildlifephotography #frog #frogspawn #amphibian

Had a great success on this fascinating project yesterday. The light a the end of the magic lantern let up some of these pictures about 100 years ago #morreysalmom #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #B&W cardiffnaturalists.blogspot.com/2025/02/decl...

Another talk tomorrow. Teaching the staff of the National museum of Wales about their predecessor. Colonel H Morrey Salmon, bird photographer, conservationist and war hero. One of his excellent glass plate negatives below ©NMW, CNS licence

Another day, another talk telling people about the geology of volcanoes. So here's another. View from the top of Mount Tiede looking at the caldera below #geology #landscapephotography #olympus #omsystem #lavaflows

Something that's making me remember my first year geology fieldwork at Leicester University That was more than 10 years ago mind

It's spawning time in the UK. I've not seen anything yet so reminding myself what to look out for with these from a few years back #frog #frogspawn #omsystem #olympus #wildlifephotography

Giving a talk on volcanoes to Cardiff camera club tonight, so here's one I included #vesuvius #omsystem #olympus #geology #landacapephototgraphy

I'm told that today is #bluemonday so here's a blue picture It's Tenby in Wales in the UK when the Eyjafjallajökull volcano erupted and stopped all the planes. So no nasty white lines in the sky #omsystem #olympus #landscape #photography

Just finished putting a talk together on volcanoes ready to give it next week. It was fun going through my old pictures so here's one I photographed earlier #volcano #geology #Lanzarote #olympus #omsystem

I'm ready to give my talk on the #geology of #Zambia to the #SWGA today. Hopefully not too many complex questions

Just received my Christmas present from the wife @rhiankendall.bsky.social which was held up somewhere in transit... Thanks also to @tetzoo.bsky.social I'm looking forward to reading it. One question I always called them marine reptiles. Why simplify to sea?

Just sharing here some old pictures of our Land Rover ambulance (Katy) when we were in the Italian Alps More at landroverkaty.blogspot.com/search/label... We had to do the river crossing to get to one campsite where we camped in the fog #LandRover #overlanding #4x4 #Ambulance #offroading

Happy new year from Scarborough, Yorkshire! #omsystem #olympus #happy2025 #happynewyear #yorkshire #castle #seaside

I'm missing winters like this in Wales. Nothing but grey cloud and drizzle so far this year (and it's nearly up). Maybe 2025 (tomorrow) will bring some of the white stuff, but I doubt it. #olympus #omsystem #climatechange #landscape #photography #Wales
