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.

Fractals in nature

Humans are hardwired to respond positively to the patterns we encounter in nature. This increased our chances of successful foraging. Fractals are common in nature. When we look at this kind of pattern we recover from stress 60% more quickly. Zoom in if you’re feeling anxious: pic.twitter.com/eqFzTS4uVQ
