January Nature Roundup: Winter's Thaw Letting stillness take root, celebrating Imbolc & an exciting guest author coming soon...

A little irony in this week's Substack, speaking on the absence of birdsong only for a mini chorus to be overlaid in my reading later in the recording - they must've heard my pleas.

Exciting announcement ahead!

#DailyNature Closing Notes [Dec 15 - 31] : Goodbye 2025 Contributions from the #DailyNature community, environmental look-back for 2025 and owls, owls, owls

Today the world is a blue-light hugged under grey cloth. Two blue tits trial several birdboxes in my father's garden and the blank page before me remains so, as I let their adventure guide my curiosity.

​A detailed close-up photograph of a feathery ornamental grass plume, intensely backlit by warm, golden light. The light catches the intricate, bristly textures of the dried seed head, making it glow in vibrant shades of amber and copper. The plume curves gracefully from the bottom left toward the top right, standing out in sharp, luminous contrast against a dark, shadowy background.

Silence met with screams
I prefer the quiet sky
Storms steal the blue calm
