Since Spring began springing in March a lot has happened in the countryside. And, for me, the month of May is a particularly pleasing one to see what’s going on. There are lots of hedgerow flowers and the hawthorns are in full bloom. Simply brill!

Two girls from Morpeth who have been participating in the Powburn Show since they were 3-years-old, and attending lots of events at Breamish Hall, gave up their Sunday morning yesterday to come to the Powburn Play Area to plant trees. The donated trees will help to make the Play Area look more beautiful and attract more wildlife.

Saw this brown hare (Lepus europaeus) briefly in open farmland between Brandon and Ingram.
Hares are fairly easy to identify (is it a rabbit or is it a hare?) by their long, black-tipped ears and relatively large size – they grow from 50-70cm long. It has a golden-brown coat and a white tail.
After last year’s successful comeback Show – following the Covid pandemic – we’re pleased to announce that everything’s in place for another successful Powburn Show this year.
For anyone interested in the fascinating visual history of the Breamish Valley contained in the Breamish Valley Photographic Collection, you’ll probably be intrigued to know that another vintage photo of Peggy Bell’s Bridge has been added to the growing collection.
Mushrooms are fascinating subjects for nature photographers, especially in autumn when they are abundant and diverse. However, photographing mushrooms can be challenging, as they are often small, low to the ground, and surrounded by clutter. In this blog post, I’ll share some tips on how to photograph mushrooms with a mobile phone, using its built-in camera app and some accessories.
