Can't believe it's >4 months since last interacted with a #chalkstream! Today explored 3 parallel tributaries of the River Cam: TL is the lovely Hoffer Brook btw Harson & Foxton, rest are the rather pathetic Rhee, TR at Foxton & below at Fowlmere - little more than a ditch. #MyWalk #Rivers 🧵1/10
#Spring is nearly here - from #mywalk earlier! 💛🍃💜🍃🤍 @photohour.bsky.social #photography #flowerphotography #naturephotography#Worcester

Lovely blue sky and sunshine on #mywalk at the weekend for #ThickTrunkTuesday! 💙🍂💛🍂🤎 @photohour.bsky.social @worcestershirehour.bsky.social #NaturePhotography #treephotography #trees #Worcester
a small snake resting in the sun, its body resting over the small ridges formed by footprints on the dirt path
an anonymous building with blank signage somewhere in glendale
three lit sign frames with the actual signs missing, so it's just a display of metal and fluorescent light bulbs against the evening sky. the circular sign at the top makes the whole ensemble vaguely person-shaped

Good to be out exploring in the blowy, mild West Suffolk countryside yesterday, along the Cut-Off Channel Mildenhall - Holywell Row. Enough Field Mushrooms for breakfast but few other #fungi, despite recent rain. Fairy Ring Champignons & Garland Roundheads on show. #MyWalk #Nature #Wildlife 1/3
Only evidence, Lee Brook, a winterbourne #chalkstream, is still a live river through Chippenham en route to join the River Kennett at Freckenham and thence the Lark, is a bit of Fool's Watercress & some river restoration structures. Even the sewage works isn't getting it flowing. #MyWalk #Rivers 1/2
Nature walk today. 🖤

This rather muggy, grey afternoon, on the Cambridgeshire chalk south of Great Abington, landscape bone dry & shrivelled, good to see chalk loving plants eg a few Lesser Calamint, big patches of Wild Marjoram, a few Hoary Ragwort & a rather sad Nettle-leaved Bellflower. #WildflowerHour #MyWalk 1/4🧵
a tightly manicured patch of grass fills the frame, interrupted only by a small plastic cutout silhouette of a pooping dog with "no!" scrawled on it
a sculpture of a mustachioed man wearing a wide brim hat stands atop a razorwire fence around an auto repair garage. his torso is a muffler, his limbs are made of exhaust pipes. he is holding an exhaust manifold aloft.
a decrepit warehouse stands on the edge of ballona creek, its square proportions and rough materials complement the concrete channel that holds the creek.
a spot of sunlight hits a house on the far edge of ballona creek, opposite the ballona wetlands ecological reserve.
yesterday i walked silver lake > little bangladesh > mid city > the length of ballona creek to playa vista. love to walk to the ocean and feel/smell the changes in the air as I go #mywalk
Delighted to alight, this blowy, yet sultry eve, upon a colony of Marbled White butterflies, in a sheltered corner of Newmarket Warren Hill-Side Hill-New Ground gallops, among the clouds of Meadow Browns. Near the mighty 83m summit found a single Common Rockrose on this #chalkgrassland. #MyWalk 1/6

#mywalk silver lake-> glendale-> verdugo motorway -> sun valley .... a rattlesnake rattled at me when i wasnt paying attention to where i was going and i saw a bobcat too
While watching this handsome Grey Partridge, heard a Common QUAIL at Bardwell! Also plenty Pheasants & Red-legged Partridges around, as well as a Linnet, nest building. Down on the Sapiston River aka Black Bourn, a female Gadwall flew up. #MyWalk #UKBirding #SuffolkBirding #birdsseenin2025 1/10
On #MyWalk from Hilgay, Joe Martin's wonderful Silt Fen Farm wetland creation was an absolute oasis in a dry, dry arable desert. Burgeoning in productivity, with fresh Shoveler & Coot broods & a veritable nursery of Greylag & Canada Geese family. How the #fens should be. #BirdsSeenIn2025. #Birds 1/6
Rewards for doing our first of two bird surveys for @rspb.bsky.social Volunteer Monitoring of Farm Wildlife, on a Norfolk Fenland farm, on a chill, grey, windy Sunday morning was a Nightingale singing behind a Sand Martin colony. Also a Crow's nest and a Mute Swan's. #BirdsSeenIn2025 #MyWalk 1/2
Delight to do @rspb.bsky.social @rspbengland.bsky.social Volunteer Monitoring of Farm Wildlife at a Legge Farm in Norfolk Fens this bright but breezy morn. Marsh Harrier presented a stick to his mate, Barn Owl exited a building & Yellow Wagtail bejewelled the peat soil #BirdsSeenIn2025 #MyWalk 1/3

The stream my 2006 OS 1:25,000 map calls the River Linnet, running via Dovedenhall Wood to Lady Katherine's Wood, now crosses Poulter's Lane after being diverted around an arable field. The real Linnet flows 1.5km to the W (cf 2016 OS 1:50,000 & environment.data.gov.uk/catchment-pl...). #MyWalk 1/6
Today, feeling balmy and spring like around Beachamwell and Shingham, it was all Skylark song and mad Hares getting ready for March - in excess of 20 in some fields.

Last w/e, water of the poor River Lark looking grim as flowed past Bury St Edmunds Abbey gardens & all the way down to Temple Bridge (unlike Norfolk #chalkstreams) where informative sign installed near new growth of Celery-leaved Buttercup (thankfully not invasive alien Floating Pennywort). #MyWalk
Someone crashed into the signpost of a weed store with one of those fuckin nft apes on it.
A building is joined to an overpass in a strange way.
The austere facade of Teksun Inc. Plastic Molding.
A sign featuring an iconic rendering of the video game character Mario. The sign reads “YOUR NAME ENGRAVED ON A GRAIN OF RICE”.
Not a lot of sunshine, but good to see the new #KepaxBridge on #mywalk yesterday! 🤎🌉💚 @photohour.bsky.social #Worcester #photography
Lovely old church under a stunning blue sky and surrounded by a carpet of Snowdrops on #mywalk in the sunshine yesterday! 💙🌞🤍 @photohour.bsky.social #StNicholasChurch #Worcester #photography #beautifulchurches
