1776: Redwings. These birds begin to appear at last.

Longevity record! Last night, @washwader.bsky.social recaught this Black-tailed Godwit, first caught and ringed 29 years ago. The metal ring was wearing thin (and was replaced) but the bird is still going strong. Blog about longevity of waders: wadertales.wordpress.com/2018/01/16/w... #ornithology

1776: Flies abound. They stay long after the hirundines are withdrawn. Tipulae sport in the air.

Glen Nevis, February.

1776: Farmer Cannings has fine weather for his barley harvest.

Harold D. Craft Jr.'s 1970 PhD thesis, "Radio Observations of the Pulse Profiles and Dispersion Measures of Twelve Pulsars". Page 215 I am getting some Unknown Pleasure from this....

1776: Mr. Canning is now ricking one field: the other is standing. The grain is lank, & the cocks cold, & damp. The trufle-hunter was here this morning: he did not take more than half a pound, & those were small.

1776: Mr. Cannings has now 48 acres of barley abroad either standing ot in cock: it was not sown 'til the rains came in the beginning of June.

Two Trees.

1776: Four swallows were seen skimming about in a lane below Newton. This circumstance seems much in favor of hiding, since the hirundines seemed to be withdrawn for some weeks. It looks as if the soft weather had called them out of their retirement.

The Uist Unearthed book is here! I've been taking photographs for this project for a few years now. Image of Dun An Sticir in North Uist is on the cover and more inside Congratulations to all at @uhiarchaeology.bsky.social especially Rebecca and @egalarch.bsky.social in getting this published 👏

1776: Grey crows return. These are winter birds of passage, & are never seen with us in the summer. The flocks are feeding down the green wheat on the downs, which is very forward, & matted on the ground.

1776: The month of Oct. has been very dry: mill-ponds begin to want water. Sheep frolick.

Wind Turbines, 2015 #otd

1776: Larks frolick much in the air: when they are in that mood the larkers catch them in nets by means of a twinkling glass: this method they call daring.

Between tick & tock lies a dislocated hour. Home to things with names too terrible to say. In the lost hours, in the gained hours, temporal spirits come through. Between tick and tock, some swear they can hear a soul trapped in time, scratching at glass. - #CLNolan #ClocksGoBack

1776: The leaves fall fast. The hanger begins to look bare. There is this year a remarkable failure of mushrooms: & the more to be wondered at, since the autumn has been both moist & warm. There is a great failure also of trufles in my Brother's outlet at Fyfield, notwithstanding in simular...

An “adit” is a horizontal shaft used in mine works to drain the mine of water. The water drizzles down the sides of the adit where, very slowly, it reacts with the minerals in the granite. Beautiful forms and patterns emerge on these walls in some places. #photography #landscape #Dartmoor

My comfort in folklore often comes from the fact it ratifies the truths that greed is an evil, tyranny is to be opposed and manners matter. If it legitimises a fear of trespassing against the common good by the rich, it is performing one of its fundamental roles. – #CLNolan #FolkloreThursday
