If Count Binface and Nigel Farage are the only candidates in the Clacton by-election, do news reports and political shows need to give them equal coverage for fairness and balance?

The curtain rises on a Swan on the Lake. #BirdoftheDay #BirdsILove No surprise that I would choose a swan for today’s theme. #Swan #Hampshire

High Trees on Hindhead Common in the Heat. #SurreyHills #Heatwave #ColorADay #BlueTue

Today at the gate leading to Hindhead Common there was a sign saying new Exmoor Ponies had been introduced as a former one had died. It’s a very large area and I was so lucky because I came across them! (seeALT) #Horses #Ponies #SurreyHills #Nature #Wildlife

Last Tuesday I posted a photo of the trunk of this tree. I stopped again to take more of the tree. The whole lane, which is long, is full of beech trees and it looked particularly nice in the dappled light. It is a golden lane in the autumn. #ThickTrunkTuesday #Trees #Shadows #SurreyHills

I was taking a photo of the reflections of yellow wildflowers on an island at the lake in Petersfield this morning when I saw I had captured an unusual waterbird. #Hampshire #Geese #Scape #Landscape #Reflections #Birds #Photography It is a Bar-Headed Goose.
