Freddie Halkon - "Striking the balance between what you want to write and what people want to hear can be hard" The Isle of Axholme songwriter looks back on his breakout year, selling out the Octagon, and supporting the Reytons

"It was incredible seeing people get so invested and singing words back to you that you wrote down at 3am"

Hamish spoke to rising singer-songwriter Freddie Halkon about newfound fame, being mentored by @thereytons.bsky.social and growing up on the Isle of Axholme.

Hello again Roger, you were right with your ID, it was indeed Trailing Bellflower Campanula poschaŕskyana, as we both suspected👍 #IsleOfAxholme #HumberheadLevels @bsbibotany.bsky.social @bsbicountries.bsky.social @wildflowerhour.bsky.social

Despite grizzly weather great to visit a nearby old #IsleOfAxholme hay meadow ablaze with #Wildflowers including high 100s if not 1000s of Green-winged Orchids including various shades of purples & pinks along with a few white ones 🌾 Supporting cast included swathes of Cowslips & Lady's Smock 😊

Not very often you find one of these rarities, this edn published in Epworth & reprinted by Doncaster Free Press in 1974! It describes the landscape of the #IsleOfAxholme in the 17th Century as the King commissions Vermuyden to drain the area, a tale of community trying to retain their common rights

Bibio lanigerus, also known as the Lesser Variable Bibio or Shaggy St Mark's Fly.

Another of today's finds from @lincswildlife.bsky.social Epworth Turbary reserve in the #IsleOfAxholme Bibio lanigerus aka "Shaggy St Mark's Fly" 🪰 Good numbers enjoying the warm sunshine 🌞 #Flies #Diptera

Pondering if today's find at @lincswildlife.bsky.social Epworth Turbary on just a single Honeysuckle leaf is that of Aulagromyza cornigera🤔 No others despite extensive searching🙄🤨 #IsleOfAxholme #Leafmines @sjthomasbotany.bsky.social @vc30moths.bsky.social

"No rubbish excuses" but clearly someone thinks it doesn't apply to them as a few old tyres left in the ditch!

Carpet of Snowdrops in abandoned woodland copse along Idle Bank.

Stinking Hellebore along Idle Bank roadside population.

Sad to see tyres dumped despite a polite request not to, no rubbish excuses as there's a free to use local authority tip not too far from here! #IsleOfAxholme #HumberheadLevels

Despite numpties selfishness a good spot for Stinking Hellebore & Snowdrops #Wildflowerhour

Few more #Fungi 🍄 from today's visit to #Epworth Turbary a Lincs #Wildlife Trust reserve Xylaria hypoxylon (Candle snuff) Trametes versicolor (Turkey tail) Flammulina velutipes (Velvet shank) & Diatrype spp. #HumberheadLevels #IsleOfAxholme #Mycology

Two trees with moderate infestations of Phytomyza ilicis aka Holly Leafminer (an #Agromyzidae fly) in #Epworth Turbary, a #Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust nature reserve Looks like there will be plenty of flies emerging in May & June but guess a few will be parasitised #HumberheadLevels #IsleOfAxholme

10) But the Isle of #IsleOfAxholme retains many ancient customs. I passed a sign explaining the rules of the 'Haxey Hood', a boisterous festival (more like a rugby scrum) on 6 January each year inspired by events in the 14th century. You can find videos on YouTube. Worth a visit!

In September, I walked 220 miles from my hometown of Nottingham back to Newcastle. One of the places I discovered along the way was the #IsleofAxholme, a place in England few people have heard of but with a long and intriguing history that should be told. #LandRights

This is what I found🧵 1/10

Without looking it up, do you know where the #IsleOfAxholme is in Britain? Extra points if you've been there and can tell me a tale...
