Look at his little cheeks! Couldn't quite believe these views of Bullfinch in Durham last weekend. A real privilege to see them up close, as they're usually shy on my Norfolk patch. #UKbirds 😍

Picked up volume 33 of #FredBasset #comics in a 2ndhand shop and realised how good they were. Kept up a decent tone and intelligence through, presumably, at least 32 more volumes. Admirable.

OK here's the deterioration but there was a moment the singer got us all crouched down before rising up and I was still sketching like my very own weirdo and it was kinda immersive and pagan and nice. Like metal gigs should be. Band I reckon was #crushedbywaves

Yeah that was drenched. Here's another, maybe #foxhaunt and it's running late so I may not see the headliner before my train home.

Tonight I'm #livedrawing at Zerox in Newcastle. I'll share more, think this is the #altmetal band #drenched but will try limit myself. Nights out alone are dangerous...

Rather than slump for the night I went for a night walk, revisiting this ancient site. One of our more depressing #stonecircle s as its immediate landscape is eliminated under weird suburban artificiality. Still, got me outside before the storms come. #megaliths #aviemorestonecircle #ancientsites

The last words exchanged with my 2 year old tonight in bed beforehe nodded off: "Take this off my finger." "Ok" and I use my own hand in the dark to wipe them. "What is it?" "It's a bogey."

It’s not just bees which pollinate flowers! This is just a tiny selection of insect pollinators. It is important to nurture these vital creatures by creating habitat in which they can thrive.
