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.

A symbol of hope and renewal

This poignant image of white storks – national bird of Ukraine - guarding their eggs above burnt-out Russian tanks was taken by Times photographer @jackhillphoto just outside the town of Makariv, next to the main highway to Kyiv.
