#Surrey feeling like #Sausalito on this fine early summer morning! @DoylyCarteIsland #nofiler

Wonderful weekend, surrounded by inspiration!

"Libraries gave us power." One of my favourite opening lyrics to a song, do you know which one? A pleasure to get a tour of the magnificent Wren Library at Trinity College Cambridge this week before an evening of fantastic music. Never underestimate the power of the arts!

In advance of this weekend’s Caught by the River event at Elmley Nature Reserve, CBTR editor Diva and co-host Daisy gave over their latest Token Girl DJs Soho Radio show to 2 hours of music celebrating the event www.caughtbytheriver.net/2026/05/now-...

'Skylarks sing here almost all year round, but today they are in full territorial mode and it is the most glorious sound, the wind stretching, compressing and carrying their song.' @bursche.bsky.social heads to Elmley Nature Reserve as Spring unfurls www.caughtbytheriver.net/2026/04/an-e...

Loved our recent trip to Scotland - Sails & Seals at Findhorn Bay.

This place feels like a spiritual epicentre for nature lovers. St Mary's Church, Selborne: A stained glass window of Saint Francis of Assisi feeding the birds - put up over a hundred years ago as a memorial to Gilbert White, the great naturalist, and a curate in the church in the 18th Century.

Yellowing wheat and Skylarks everywhere. Have a peaceful weekend if you can. #cheesefoothead #southdownsway

Apologies for the positive post on this platform; here's a beautiful young Curlew chick, part of an inspiring "headstarting" project at #ElmleyNNR in Kent, trying to increase numbers of this endangered bird. It will be released into the wild in July, wish it well.

Doing what it says on the tin - a beach of shells at Shell Ness, Isle of Sheppy.

1/2 - I'm a proud trustee at Park Lane Stables, a local Riding For Disabled org , but don't get to see the team in action nearly as often as I would like. So it was great to be at The Royal Windsor Horse Show today watching them win the RDA Fancy Dress Competition - including Best Overall team.

A few seconds that in no way captures the beauty of hundreds of thousands of Mayflies doing their final dance of life by the Thames this evening. Life is short folks. Try and use the time we'll.

A visit to one of the Pembrokeshire sea-bird colonies in breeding season is always recommended - but in stunning sunshine, being on Skomer Island this week was pure heaven! #skomer

It's such a wonderful book. Thank you @caughtbytheriver.bsky.social for such a lovely review of Peter's book. #Booksky

More than a description of wine making, Peter Hahn’s ‘Angels in the Cellar’ (@littletollerbooks.bsky.social) is a celebration of nature and a love of the land, the seasons and the soil, writes @bursche.bsky.social www.caughtbytheriver.net/2025/04/ange...

Love the way the ponies look as if they're guarding the nest! White Stork nest and free-roaming Dartmoor ponies at @kneppwilding.bsky.social

In the 1960s Switzerland had some of Europe's filthiest waterbodies. Now its cities boast near-pristine rivers & lakes: "We are united by a love of water". Lessons to learn here, about building emotional connection to water as well as infrastructure investment. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Actual good news!

Hazel catkins time of year. #surreyhills

Last evening's walk by a local reservoir in south west London. It was cold with a biting northerly wind, but then... #nature

I've been wondering all day what happened to this person... #mud #stainesmoor

I'm a trustee at a Riding For Disabled stables in South west London Our reception/meeting room unusually joins on to a stable,so you're never quite sure who will join your meeting! #parklanestables #equinetherapy

'With no fewer than three prisons, a lot of pylons and wind turbines & big clusters of caravan parks to the north, Sheppey has had something of an unlovely reputation, but that is changing.' @bursche.bsky.social visits Elmley, one of the UK's most significant wildlife havens https://buff.ly/4hial5x

I've been going to Elmley National Nature Reserve for amny many years - and enjoying its distinctly wilderness feeling. Thanks to @caughtbytheriver.bsky.social for including a piece from me on their website which is a confluence of nature, art and culture. Pls give them a follow. #nature

Good job, Apple. This is the right move. If you discover you’re helping to amplify and spread toxic sludge, you slow down and fix the issues. That’s what differentiates you from the CEO in Menlo Park. www.cnn.com/2025/01/16/m...

It's lovely that our friend Woody has been chosen to be one of the 100 Portraits Of Britain for 2025, so keep an eye out for this image on digital poster sites. There is an amazing connection with the photographer too, read on.. #portraitofbritain #downsyndrome teddingtontown.co.uk/2025/01/15/w...

I wrote in the Guardian today about the UK government’s AI Opportunities Action Plan, which proposes handing AI companies the life’s work of Britain’s creators for free. The government must reconsider. We can be a leader in AI without throwing the creative industries under the bus.

@musicares.bsky.social are doing a great job on the ground helping music people affected by the LA fires right now. Support them here: www.musicares.org/get-help

Demanding client. So how's the PR coverage going? #rescuecats #batterseadogsandcats

Nearly there folks - just hang on in there...x #solstice #midwinter #longerdays

I love this white cat that "inhabits" a nearby #Timpsons and #Tescos near us. Belinda is a semi-feral cat who does have a home but likes nothing better than to hang out on the counter of Timpsons, in the cafe at Tescos, and this morning - just chilling out by the main doors! People love her. #cats

This is my first post here. I saw @tildaswinton.bsky.social join @maxrichter.bsky.social on stage at the #TheRoyalFestivalHall at the weekend and it was wondrous!
