About Me
I am a naturalist, bookworm, cat owner and occasional blogger.
I live in Bristol, where I am attempting to create a wildlife-friendly garden. As I rent and my garden is covered in pebbles, this means I am somewhat limited to pots and raised beds, but I live in hope!

Catching Up pt 1
As you will have noticed, I haven't posted in a little while. I've been cracking on with the fun that is writing job applications and whenever I've not being doing that, I have been trying to be away from the laptop - whether it's attending…
Time enough for life, to unfold all the precious things

This week didn't kick off with a bang, but rather some very heavy frost. It took me twenty minutes to get into my car on Monday morning it was so iced up! And freezing weather for the rest of the day is obviously the best weather for heading…
Wild Winter Days
Brr, what a cold couple of weeks it has been! Not all that surprising mind, since it is mid-winter in central Wales! We've even had snow, which was very exciting indeed! Just below are my photos from the offices in Llandrindod Wells when the…
15 targets for 2015
In the typical wildlife blogger fashion, I have put together some wildlife resolutions for the next year. I chose 15 for obvious reasons, though part of me feels like I should put together 25 since I celebrate that age in only a few months.…
People and Places of 2014
I know, I know, I've already written a blog post about the wonderful wildlife that I've seen in 2014. But none of it would've been possible if not for fantastic people and amazing places.

Wonderful Wildlife of 2014
We approach the end of the almighty year that was 2014. Whilst 2013 could be called "The Year of South African Wildlife" (albeit there were only four months there, but you know what I mean), 2014 was definitely a year of British wildlife for…
