The bird in the photograph above is a great crested grebe in its winter plumage. One might think that it was taken in some unspoilt part of the Cairngorms, but it wasn’t. It was in fact taken near Sheffield in … Continue reading

Events of the past week in France have thrown up many questions. A few weeks ago we in the West were obsessing about Christmas gifts and the commercial aspects of Christmas. Traditionally the origin of giving gifts at Christmas time … Continue reading →
