Below is a photo from a woodland walk on Friday, on the cusp of spring - yet looking remarkably rather like autumn with the strong orange colours of the few remaining leaves clinging on the bare trees. I was there hoping to see Red Kites - but realised they'd probably flown south from what my little 'Birds' App seemed to tell me. Or maybe hopefully see some Buzzards - but I never made it to the nature hide ( as I seemed to walk in accidental circles on two separate walks not really knowing which was I was going ) .
The most exciting encounter was in sound only - hearing a distant ish sounding Tawny Owl. When I ventured off the trail path into the woods to trace the source of this sound all I heard was nothing. The impossibility of not snapping twigs underfoot with every step had surely warned the owl off after barely one or two steps.....
Because of my exciting encounter being only of the aural kind, I cannot post any photos of anything too out of my ordinary - so will be content, as always, to post another of my nature type dreamy photos from the vaults of my one trick pony well oiled machine.... Actually, this one is rather interesting, as stumbling across a pentagram formed in the twig like surroundings made it suddenly all feel interesting ( rather than frustrating not seeing anything that interesting beyond a brave robin - which still managed to fly off just as I reached for my camera ) ... It was nice to see a gentle hommage to mother nature, formed in such a natural unobtrusive way, and in a place that only similar interested souls would actually be inclined to notice at all, too.
I am not sure what purpose this 'extra' transmission blog thing will serve, it's so easy these days to drown in a well of websites whilst forgetting to actually create the very thing you are trying to 'get out there'. So we shall see...
