#30DaysMacro: week three 📷
See week one and week two via these links. Day 15/30: looking around my Mum’s garden in London, I was harnessing the softer evening light and hoping some insects would come and bask. Lo and behold, this large red damselfly flew over my shoulder and landed on a leaf half an arm’s length away! Day… Continue reading #30DaysMacro: week three 📷

I’ve been slow to post week two of my June 2022 macro challenge, mainly due to offline and online duties. But don’t worry, the photos are still being taken and I’m on track to get it all done!… Continue reading #30DaysMacro 2022: week two 📷
#30DaysMacro 2022: week one 📷
Every June the Wildlife Trusts run a campaign called 30 Days Wild. The aim is to encourage people to notice nature at this special time of year and do one thing each day that connects you with the wild world around you. Last year I did #30DaysMacro, taking and posting one macro wildlife photo each day in June on Twitter. This year, I thought I’d have another go. … Continue reading #30DaysMacro 2022: week one 📷
Macro 📷: the glowing bracken
One morning recently, I spent a couple of hours wandering around my local tract of the Sussex Weald. The bracken and beech were glowing as the sun edged its way up through trees. The sun had blown the world wide open.The chirp of a skylark passing over the canopy, perhaps on migration, maybe heading to the South Downs.… Continue reading Macro 📷: the glowing bracken
Macro 📷: hoar frost
I am a big fan of Russian film and literature. Nature, wildlife and the landscape is often at the forefront of this great field of art. It’s the beating heart of the films of Andrei Tarkovsky, the poems of Anna Akhmatova and the short stories of Anton Chekhov. The vastness of Russia’s landscapes is central… Continue reading Macro 📷: hoar frost
Macro 📷: the smallest wasps on Earth
This blog often complains about the poor understanding in England regarding wasps. I began drafting this post in the midst of what’s known as ‘the silly season’, when Britain’s tabloid newspapers turn their guns on gulls, wasps and spiders, with a seasonal vacuum in news. However, in a global pandemic there is no real vacuum… Continue reading Macro 📷: the smallest wasps on Earth
Macro 📷: a photo each day in June for 30 Days Wild
In June 2021 I undertook a variant (not that kind of variant) of the Wildlife Trusts’ 30 Days Wild campaign. I decided to try a month-long project of taking a macro photo every day: #30DaysMacro. It was a lot of work, mainly in processing and tweeting the photos to keep up with the community aspect.… Continue reading Macro 📷: a photo each day in June for 30 Days Wild
Macro 📷: a ruby-tailed wasp in the Adur valley
I got to spend the afternoon wandering around the Adur valley recently. The River Adur runs through West Sussex where it reaches the sea at Shoreham. There are wonderful views of the South Downs, especially from the area I was wandering around. This landscape fascinates me because it was once a much wider and wilder… Continue reading Macro 📷: a ruby-tailed wasp in the Adur valley
Macro 📷: the fencepost jumping spider
Another week and it’s another spider post. This time, it’s a spider that also likes posts. One evening a couple of weeks ago I had logged off from work and went out into the garden to look at something other than an email. It was a warm evening and the sun was dipping below the… Continue reading Macro 📷: the fencepost jumping spider
