Itโs Wednesday and Swansea Bay is a mass of brown ruffles under a grey sky so hereโs a female red-tailed bumble bee on an azalea from last May.

After all the problems I had last week I never imagined I would still be alive to capture this rainbow. I deliberately made sure my shadow was in the image to give a sense of scale #rainbow #landscapephotography #Landscape #yorkshire #NorthYorkshire #northyorksmoors #photography #PhotoOfTheDay #photoof2022

James BaillieFor UK citizens who haven't seen it and may wish to sign, there's a current parliamentary petition advocating a lower limit on the shooting season for Woodcock, the numbers of which are declining in the UK at an alarming rate:
Petition: Limit the shooting season of Woodcock
Mark Avery , Chris Packham and Ruth Tingay (Wild Justice) want the opening of the Woodcock shooting season to be pushed back to 1 December. 160,000 Woodcock are shot for fun across the UK whilst their population is declining. The Defra Secretary of State has powers to vary the shooting season.

โThese dunes are always beautiful, and the changes in the season, the time of day, and the weather create an ever-changing palette of colors that never ceases to amaze me.

How to enjoy a winter walk in nature
Those who have followed my writing for a few years will find several recurring themes. My worries about climate change and the loss of nature may be the first ones that come to mind, and my love for nature in all its beauty and diversity is another prominent theme. These dunes are always beautiful, and the changes in the season, the time of day, and the weather create an ever-changing palette of colors that never ceases to amaze me. For many, this landscape is a far cry from the green of springtime with its blossoming flowers and thus less attractive now, but I love this different world of a frozen brownish and grey landscape during a winter heatwave.
