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.

The entire UK will be closed on Monday 19th September

BREAKING: The entire UK will be closed on Monday as a mark of respect to the Queen. All citizens are required to vacate the country by 23:59 on Sun, and may return at 09:00 Weds. The Ministry for Mourning suggests people try Ireland or France, or any other vaguely sane country.
