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.

Captain Sir Tom Moore

In mid-April 2020, I wrote about the amazing and remarkable Captain Sir Tom Moore .... see here.

Sadly, today Sir Tom died aged 100 years.

Tributes have poured in for Sir Tom who acquired national treasure status in his last year. He will be fondly remembered with the utmost respect for his wonderful attitude, commitment and values long after the defeat of the Covid-19 pandemic.
