Tomorrow is the Inglorious 12th of August, the first day that these magnificent creatures get shot for fun. But it is the associated practices that are really damaging our countryside. This includes the illegal persecution of birds of prey. Most of these crimes go undetected but around 75% of all people convicted of crimes against birds of prey are associated with game shooting. This is robbing us and the countryside of a valuable part of our natural heritage. Hen Harriers www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/48640511871/in/photolist are teetering on the verge of extinction as a breeding bird in England because they are being illegally shot, poisoned or trapped. And then there is the damage to the moors and blanket bogs by burning www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/50958600777/in/photolist Farmers were stopped from burning stubbles years ago on the grounds of air pollution. Why are grouse moor owners allowed to continue? This minority sport has industrialised huge swathes of our uplands, including burning and draining of our precious blanket bogs to encourage their preferred kind of heather growth that suits grouse. Blanket bogs are a valuable wildlife habitat that helps counter climate change by removing atmospheric carbon and locking it safely underground. But when this habitat is damaged, it starts to release the carbon that has been sequestered over thousands of years. So healthy bogs benefit us, while damaged bogs harm us. Why would we damage them? The burning also leads to discoloured water which you pay to have cleansed through your water bill.

An early taste of winter has arrived in the South Lakes with the Old Man sporting a dusting of snow.
This view is a favourite of mine looking along the road between Lowick and Torver. I used an 85mm lens to shorten the perspective a little and maintain the size of the hills in the background relative to the scene and shot as a 10 frame panoramic on the full frame Nikon D850.
Handheld... as I was standing in the middle of a road. ISO 400, f=10, 1/100th second
The view from the back of the house in the late afternoon. The mist rises up off the falls and catch the setting sun making it look like a dragon resides in the hills beyond.
After a scorching hot and humid day, and a brief down pour, it came out pretty nice on Coniston Water at tea time.

There is a thunderclap today and you have until 09:30 to add your name to it if you share these concerns.

Whilst strolling around Rushcliffe Country Park I spotted in a near by bush a robin soaking up the sunshine. Amazingly it stayed where I first spotted it, while I got my camera out of my pocket, out of its case, fired up, moved into position, lined up and focused, 12th April 2021.

This was the sunset the moment I got in from school - literally, I dropped my bag and ran back out the door, so I'm still in school uniform! It's the first time in months it hasn't been pitch black when I got home, so no chance to be imaginative, I just wanted to capture it.
Still waiting on Cambridge.

For around one hundred and fifty years Long Eaton, Derbyshire was a major lace manufacturing centre and Harrington Mill was the largest of the lace mills in the town. It is still standing and now used by other businesses and is seen here on the 12th February 2019.
In 1885 local building contractor Poxon and Rice won the tender for the building of the first phase of the Harrington Mills in Leopold Street, Long Eaton. It opened for business in January 1887 with the second phase of the building completed by Wheatley and Maule in 1888. The large mill was 550 feet long and four stores high, containing over one million bricks. The semi circular turrets along one side housed the staircases to the landings of the various lace manufacturers who occupied the building. At its peak Harrington Mill contained standings for 255 lace machines and was the largest of all the tenement mills in Long Eaton. The standings were rented out, allowing smaller enterprises to flourish and at one point Harrington Mill housed 26 separate lace manufacturing companies.
Gulgong once a station on the branch line from Wallerawang to Gwabegar via Mudgee, Dunedoo, Merrygoen, Binnaway and Coonabarabran. The semaphore signal visible above NR30 was once at the entrance to Gulgong yard from the Mudgee Line. The line this train will take was completed to Gulgong in 1985, an extension of the coal line from Sandy Hollow to Ulan, completed in 1982.

This handsome building needs a good pressure washing. It was just east of here where I first saw Moondog, a bit of a local legend in Wheeling.

Whilst out and about undertaking a number of daily chores I came across Hawkes Coaches, DD3 (R843 MFR) parked up in the rain in Risley between I suspect school duty, 12th March 2019. I generally have my Panasonic TZ80 to hand so I pulled over and grabbed this shot. R843 MFR a Volvo Olympian OLY-49 chassis fitted with an East Lancs Pyoneer H47/25D body delivered new to Metrobus, Orpington in October 1997. Before being acquired by Hawkes Coaches it has spent time with Southern Vectis, Isle of White from 2010 until 2014.
Got a picture of a awesome drummer in downtown in DC. Did not do a lot of work in Lightroom in this one. This gentlemen was playing old school Soul and R&B. Also caught a little motion blur in the back ground from the pedestrians on the crosswalk.
Megan and Edith are sorting out the Nativity set. Hmmmmm....it seems as if the three wise men are missing!

I thought I had a bit of time in hand this morning as I set off for Evanton so stopped off on Culnakirk to grab a wee drone shot of the morning frost.... only to discover that the drone controller wasn't in the box... and I was off for a drone job. So a quick ground based shot was taken, then back home to get the controller... so my time in hand became half an hour late, with my intended trip to Tesco curtailed to the bare essentials for tonight only and another trip now required tomorrow (or more likely wing it from ScotMid!)
