SS15 wildlife watching

This blog was set up in mid-March 2020 during the emerging COVID-19 health crisis in the UK. It initially aimed to provide records of wildlife sightings and photographs from sites within walking distance of my home in the SS15 postcode area of Basildon in Essex during lockdown travel restrictions. Even though the pandemic has largely subsided, this blog continues to include my local wildlife sightings, my trips away from home plus some personal thoughts and reflections on other issues.

Dreading a dark winter lockdown?

Dreading a dark winter lockdown? .... think like a Norwegian

Studies have shown that people living in the Arctic regions are armed with a mindset that helps combat the long "polar night". It might come in handy for us all in the coming months.

Furthermore, Norwegian friluftsliv (“free-air life”) can help us adapt and cope during these challenging times.

Fjord focus: is Norway's friluftsliv the answer to surviving a second lockdown?

Let's get outdoors and enjoy the natural world during the coming winter months.
