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.

Trip away from SS15 - Chelmsford, Essex

Today, I had a trip to Chelmsford, not a birding trip but a visit to the Chelmsford City Museum for the exhibition on the life of J.A. Baker, Essex naturalist, birdwatcher and campaigner.

J.A. Baker (6th August 1926 to 26th December 1987) was an English author, best known for his book "The Peregrine".

This is an extremely interesting and informative exhibition and is highly recommended! .... although note that it closes on 23rd February 2025.
