One of many times, I should have had my camera and One of many times, I should have had my camera and not just my phone with me  but still, a bit of over editing ever did much harm. 

Many people believe that a visit from a Robin is a sign that a lost relative is visiting them and in the spiritual world Robins are viewed as a symbol of visits from our deceased loved ones. 

The Robin also symbolises new beginnings and life, and is also looked upon by many as a sign of fortune and good luck. I've taken to walking every day where I know there are a few resident robins, is that considered cheating?

People think that wildlife in India is all about t People think that wildlife in India is all about the tiger, but we have many other success stories. One of the best conservation stories is the survival of the only remaining social cats in India, the Asiatic Lions of Gujarat which once roamed from Western Asia to the Middle East and north India but now only remain in Gir National Park. 

This footage, captured by Sunny Shah  earlier today, shows them also ensuring that their species continues to flourish and be the Pride of Gujarat.

Yesterday was spent wearing a high vis jacket, dri Yesterday was spent wearing a high vis jacket, driving a very large van and singlehandedly humping Christmas Trees around West Yorkshire.

Why? Well since returning to the UK for Christmas I've discovered that Christmas Tree collection is a great fundraiser for charities. People pay the charity, in this instance, Forget Me Not Children's Hospice in Huddersfield, to take their discarded Christmas Trees away. This is facilitated by a bunch of volunteers, yes, that's where I came in, who give their time to be collectors. 

How did this come about? Well I met a couple of chaps out dog walking and we chat, as dog walkers do. They have bought my book and helped me with webinar presentations and well, one good turn deserves another so when Ryan Grint  was looking for Christmas Tree humpers, I was more than happy to volunteer. 

Now, this would be an easier job with two people but my other volunteer got stuck in snow and couldn't make it and me being me, decided to carry on regardless. Sometimes my ideas, no matter how well intentioned, aren't the best! ;) 

What did I learn? That virtually everyone this year went for 7ft trees! (!!!! !!!!) And Christmas tree needles really can get everywhere! :) 

Still it was fun and a way of giving back, I'd been looking to volunteer and this was a great start. 

All charities are struggling through the pandemic and so if you would like to donate, the link is below.

Morning walk weather report -2, feels like -6. O Morning walk weather report -2, feels like -6. 

On our second round of the lake, the sun starts to rise, ducks and moorhens scuttle to a rare, unfrozen patch, in the trajectory of its welcome rays,  eagerly soaking in the warmth of this new day's dawning sun. It's been a hard night on the ice and  feathers are ruffled and wings spread as the warmth starts to permeate. 

Yet in the shadows, Jack Frost's magic can still be seen in the art created after a hard night at work. His creativity in constant jeopardy from his nemesis, the sun. 

Morning walks and winter observations; a winter in Yorkshire.

Is it the sense of freedom or the sense of adventu Is it the sense of freedom or the sense of adventure that make this photo appeal to me? Is it the opportunity for escapism or the chance to be alone, calm, happily adrift, wondering mildly where the journey will take me whilst not quite daring to think of the destination? 

Chilika Lake, Odisha.
