Mejiro or Japanese White-eye in Yokohama a few days ago. The parks in this city are surprisingly good for birdwatching, although I suspect the 10 different species I saw in Yokohama Park were just common ones seen throughout the country.

My highlights of 2024 - better late than never! What a year it’s been, with some things that were not even on my radar this time last year! I wonder what 2025 will bring?

Great show by Steve @HackettOfficial and his brilliant band at Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall tonight. Plus a lovely surprise - Steve’s brother John made a guest appearance to play flute for a couple of songs. Another wonderful night!

Wow - Steve @HackettOfficial was brilliant at Bristol Beacon tonight! His band comprises musicians of the highest order and they stormed through solo new and Genesis old with ease. Quite simply, a wonderful night out!

Better late than never - a few photos from Green Day’s show at Wembley stadium last weekend. First time I’d seen them live - I was absolutely blown away. Just WOW! #GreenDay

Just a few of my photos from the #RestoreNatureNow event in London today - inspirational speakers from some of the hundreds of organisations coming together in support of nature at a critical time in our planet’s history. And a Peregrine atop parliament!

Haven’t posted on here for a while, so here’s a Linnet and an Oystercatcher at Flamborough on Sunday.
