Oh, baby, do it again and again
I can hear nothing
Windswept is the sand
Oh, baby, oh show me more
I can see nothing
Windswept is the shore
Heatwave to nightshade
Oh I'm feeling swept away
Oh I'm
Oh I'm swept away
Oh I'm
Oh, baby, don't leave me there
With a low whisper
Windswept in the air
You say it's nothing
But a game to play
Oh I'm feeling swept away
Slow, baby, you can take your time
I can hear nothing
Windswept is the tide
A feeling only or a state of mind
Gonna take me high, mama
Mama, take me high
Oh I'm swept away
Oh, baby
Oh I'm swept away
Oh, baby
Oh I'm swept away
Oh, baby
Oh I'm swept away
Oh, baby
Oh I'm swept away

Myself and Daniel did a photoshoot this afternoon of some new horses around the corner from home. They belong to travellers who are working with a fairground in our area. We were delighted to see that they were loose in the public walkways so we were able to get up close and personal to them. Excited wasn’t the word.
On a windswept hill by a billowing sea, my destiny sits and waits for me.

La grive, véritable boussole climatique...
On n'a plus d'hiver...
Dans des régions il n'a pas plu depuis des mois...!!!
C'est inquiétant le réchauffement climatique.
Cette année encore, je n'aurai pas vu d'oiseaux migrateurs dans ma région... et dommage.
J'ai donc cherché dans mes archives cette photo de grive litorne.
De grandes bandes de grives litornes arrivent en France le flot principal n'arrive généralement qu'en octobre et en novembre.
Des troupes de plusieurs centaines d'individus déferlent alors sur le pays par le nord et l'est, en provenance de Scandinavie et d'Europe de l'Est.
Lorsque les conditions climatiques sont mauvaises, de nombreuses grives arrivent épuisées et deviennent alors des proies faciles pour les prédateurs comme les rapaces.
En hiver, la litorne forme de grandes bandes mêlées d'autres grives, notamment des mauvis.
Ces troupes bruyantes parcourent la campagne en quête de nourriture.
A terre, la litorne se comporte typiquement comme les autres membres de la famille, adoptant souvent une posture rectiligne et progressant par bonds un peu lourdauds.
Alarmée, elle se tient presque verticale et scrute de tous les côtés. A l'approche d'un prédateur, toute la bande se réfugie dans un arbre voisin où elle se pose généralement face au vent.

The thrush, a real climatic compass...
There is no more winter...
In some regions it has not rained for months.
Global warming is worrying.
This year again, I will not have seen migratory birds in my region... and a pity.
So I searched my archives for this fieldfare photo.
Large flocks of Fieldfares arrive in France the main flow usually only arrives in October and November.
Troops of several hundred individuals then swept over the country from the north and east, coming from Scandinavia and Eastern Europe.
When the climatic conditions are bad, many thrushes arrive exhausted and then become easy prey for predators such as raptors. In winter, the litorne forms large flocks mixed with other thrushes, notably redwings.
These noisy troops roam the countryside in search of food.
On land, the litorne typically behaves like the other members of the family, often adopting a straight posture and progressing in somewhat clumsy leaps.
Alarmed, she stands almost vertically and peers from all sides. At the approach of a predator, the whole flock takes refuge in a nearby tree where it generally lands facing the wind.

Hurricane Nicholas swept through Gulf of Mexico into southern Louisiana in mid-Sept, 2021, leaving devastations along the path.
After almost 6 hours of pounding rain and wind, this is all that's left for this fishing pier.😥
This is what the pier once looked like. 😒
On the other hand, the birds are happy to have all of it for themselves! 😁
Ever had that shot that you love and hate at the same time? This is that one for me..really like the pov but cant seem to fix the color..so i'll slip this one so it can see the light of day..
A wind swept estuary on this trip, fantastic views to be had indeed in this part of Wales.

I know it's not my usual photo, but I hope you enjoy it.

Everybody needs a little time away
I heard him say
From each other
Even lovers need a holiday
Far away from each other
Hold me now
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry
I just want you to stay
After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to
And after all that's been said and done
You're just a part of me I can't let go
Couldn't stand to be kept away
Just for the day
From your body
Wouldn't want to be swept away
Far away
From the one that I love
Hold me now
It is hard for me to say I'm sorry
I just want you to know
Hold me now
I really want to tell you I'm sorry
I could never let you go
After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to
After all that's been said and done
You're just a part of me I can't let go
After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to

* Given that Spurn Point is relatively close to Hull I guess it's surprising I do not go there often. It is the oddest and wildest part of East Yorkshire with huge skies. However I find it too desolate to really enjoy, though some of my friends who are serious birders love it . This shot was taken on the narrowest parts of the spit. On the left hand side is the North Sea and on the right the waters of the Humber estuary . The little wooden cabin is a shelter in case a high tide cuts you off from the mainland which is not uncommon. You can see the lighthouse which is about four miles further along the spit.
Its a hard place to describe so I will borrow some text from the Yorkshire wildlife trust .
From the Yorkshire wildlife trust website
Spurn Point (or Spurn Head as it is also known) is a narrow sand spit on the tip of the coast of the East Riding of Yorkshire, that reaches into the North Sea and forms the north bank of the mouth of the Humber estuary. It is over 3 miles long, almost half the width of the estuary at that point, and as little as 50 yards wide in places. The southernmost tip is known as Spurn Head or Spurn Point and is the home to an RNLI lifeboat station and disused lighthouse. It forms part of the civil parish of Easington.
Spurn Head covers 280 acres above high water and 450 acres of foreshore. It has been owned since 1960 by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and is a designated National Nature Reserve, Heritage Coast and is part of the Humber Flats, Marshes and Coast Special Protection Area.
The peninsula is made up from sand and shingle as well as Boulder Clay eroded from the Holderness coastline washed down the coastline from Flamborough Head. Material is washed down the coast by longshore drift and accumulates to form the long, narrow embankment in the sheltered waters inside the mouth of the Humber estuary. It is maintained by plants, especially Marram grass . Waves carry material along the peninsula to the tip, continually extending it; as this action stretches the peninsula it also narrows it to the extent that the sea can cut across it in severe weather. When the sea cuts across it permanently, everything beyond the breach is swept away, only to eventually reform as a new spit pointing further south. This cycle of destruction and reconstruction occurs approximately every 250 years. The now crumbling defences will not be replaced and the spit will continue to move westwards at a rate of 2 metres per year, keeping pace with the coastal erosion further north.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO
WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT .
A female Kingfisher positions herself over the water watching for small fish. Amazing she didn't fly away, I do believe they are more tolerant of people in boats.

A sudden wind brushes off the top layer of a dune as I happen to snap a picture of the scenery. It's truly wonderful how Nature can behave in the most convenient of times. That being said, it can and will almost certainly always find balance in another way, as suddenly I found my lens invaded by specks of sand. Nature gives and takes, and I am willing to accept that.
Fine lines in White Rim sandstone mark ancient layers of cemented sand deposits, guiding the eye into the canyon of Soda Springs Basin and Stillwater Canyon of the Green River, with snow-obscured buttes of the Maze District of Canyonlands in the background.

I thank you for the visits and comments and wish you all a fine day!

In addition to growing and tending trees with care, my husband makes me laugh. And he grows plants in his partial greenhouse. These are tiny cyclamen that bloom by unfurling their wee petals in an up-swept manner.
Bounced strobe. Thanks for looking. (I left parts of small leaves on the right for context. Should I remove them?)
NB. Taking a Cornell course on bird behavior/behaviour. Less active here now.

BESIDE – JON & VANGELIS
A B V for Vulture
you're so beautiful
African White-backed beauty
standing so dutiful
How I love to watch you fly
soar across the storm-swept sky
dipping down and rising high
so incredible; I want to cry
People are afraid of you
but let me plead your case
you do not claw or maim or kill
you feast on carrion; already long-dead carcass
You may be large; your wing span broad
but you are a gentle giant bird
disinterested in those who gaze at you
in awe; to disrespect you is absurd
How I long for you to look
just once to last me all my days
to meet my eyes; see an open book
to be filled with wonder; I'm so amazed
People carry on their journey
giving you just a cursory glance
but my friend and I; we both linger
life is to be savoured; a joyful dance
Hurrying and scurrying past; in the rain
your proud features begin to blur
I make a memory with one click
and still you do not stir
Within me my heart beats fast and hard
excited by your omnipresence
oh, if only you would turn to me
grace me with your undivided presence
At last I force myself to leave
at last you take to flight
but alas, I lack the photographic skills
to capture your essence in beautiful flight
You are from the old world
and I am of the new
you are critically endangered
please do not worry;
we will try our best to save you.

Thanks for visiting. I am very grateful for the very kind comments and faves.
Enjoy a very happy weekend, dear friends <3
35mph winds create blowing snow over this country road. It always amazes me how different "winter" can be out in the country compared to where I live (an hour east of this location). By me, it barely looks like winter. Out here, is another story. I love it!!
