Spider Spotting
Today’s wild photo just goes to prove that you don’t need to set foot outside to see something wild – this little spider was crawling down the wall earlier today. Because I know some of my blog readers aren’t overly keen on arachnids, if you want to read the rest of this post (and see the photo), you…

Fun Hedgehog?
A month or so ago, I spotted the British Hedgehog Preservation Society‘s competition to make a blu-tack hedgehog. Not having any blu-tack to hand, I didn’t enter, but it gave me an idea for today’s Random Act of Wildness! I still didn’t have any blu-tack, but I did have a piece of a Lush Fun bar, which…

A great day for cloud watching
Today is proving a great day for cloud watching. Some look quite ‘ordinary’ but like I found earlier in the week, there’s a few that look suitably unusual…. Such as this one, which seemed to have a shadow cast on it at the base of the photo – I’m guessing the sunlight was just strong enough…

Saturday Special – Exhausted Bees
Rather than a photo of something I’ve seen today, I thought I’d do a special post for every Saturday this month – a tip or suggestion for something wild. Today’s tip came from a sight earlier in the week – I was walking along the path when I spotted a bee on the pavement in front of me.…

Synchronised …. flying?
I’ve seen flocks of pigeons flying in a tight-knit formation quite often, but it’s not that common to see a flock of crows flying together. You could hear them long before you could see them, and I do wonder where they were heading! A little while later, two crows returned and were swooping and diving…

It’s June – you know what that means?
….yes that’s right, it’s time for #30dayswild again! This year my aim is to be wild every day in June, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to get outside every day. After all, not everyone can actually get out of the house every day, so I want to prove that you can be wild while staying indoors too! I…

Night Sky
Looking towards the north tonight, there was a glow from the sunlight (as crazy as that sounds, it doesn’t get fully dark to the north until later, despite it being dark here at that point!). I thought I’d try taking a photo, as there was a strangely red glow to the clouds and sky. I didn’t want…

Evening Skies
The sky wasn’t an intense red at sunset, but there was a nice ambery orange glow to the clouds towards the north. #30dayswild

Ever tried taking a photo of a fast moving small bird?
If there’s one disadvantage of trying to take a photo of those rapidly moving small birds, it’s how swiftly they fly! After multiple photos of just a clear blue sky where it had flown out of the shot, and others that were just a blur as it changed direction as I took the photo, I got lucky.…

The local Robin
The neighbourhood robin has made an appearance again. Not content with just flying down onto the grass while it’s being cut (you need eyes in the back of your head to make sure he stays safe!), he’s been checking over the other gardens for some tasty insects. I’m assuming he has a family to feed,…
