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.

Today is the longest day of the year

“The year is arranged badly. Why should the days begin to get shorter at the moment when summer is fully arrived? I console myself with the thought that if 22nd June is the beginning of winter, at least there is next summer to which I may look forward.”~A.A.Milne #SummerSolstice pic.twitter.com/ORwMnPSuyY
