RIP Janey Godley and thanks for all the laughs during a dark time.
The orchestral version of Lord it’s a Feeling (Explicit) by London Grammar is glorious www.youtube.com/watch

Good to see the late Glenda Jackson getting recognition in her birthplace. wirralview.com/council-u…
Gibson’s Pandora doing her thing at the Lady Lever this morning.
Early signs of Autumn colour at Ness yesterday.
Immersive Liverpool sounds potentially of interest. BBC News - Plan for ‘Abbey Road of the North’ recording studio www.bbc.com/news/arti…
Saw the heron today for the first time in a month or so. Hopefully the moorhen chicks are too big now to serve as prey plus they rarely stray far from one or both parents.
All four moorhen chicks on the bank this morning. Will feed themselves but some still prefer to be fed by parent.
Comma butterfly this morning at Ness Gardens.
From Hoylake last week, post box topper commemorating lifeboats.
Walked along Hoylake promenade this morning before it got hot.
Overcast day brightened somewhat by an overflight by geese.
All four moorhen chicks feeding this morning (three visible here). No swallows, possible they’ve migrated or perhaps they’re simply waiting for it to warm up a little more.
Good news! All four of the moorhen chicks out on the bank today despite some of the mallards being snippy.
New to me: Magpie moth, species used by University of Liverpool zoologist Leonard Doncaster to show sex-linked inheritance en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leon…
No ducks for some reason (later in the day) but moorhens wary nonetheless. Three chicks (one shown here) still preferring to be fed by their parents.
Remarkable win by Dan Evans in the US Open. 🎾
Moorhen chicks sadly down to three, two of which shown here.
Decided to consolidate my blogs and downgrade from Premium, hopefully to add a little focus. Please excuse the mess. 🚧
View of the walled garden at Royden. Unfortunately closed by the time we got there so this is a peek through gates.
A lot of fallen leaves in the wake of Storm Lillian but nothing else major I could see this morning. Crops seem to have weathered it okay.
Three of the now four moorhen chicks came onto the bank along with their parents and juvenile sibling who I think is helping feed them.
Just watched Children of Men. Saw it in the cinema on first release. What a remarkable movie it is. 🎥🍿
