Good morning! Last night I learned three important things: 1) My flight today from Toronto to NYC to give a talk in the Planetarium at AMNH tomorrow was cancelled due to the snow 2) The best alternative Air Canada could offer me was Wednesday morning: too late! 3) But there is a TRAIN 🚂

Spooky thing happened on Facebook last night (yes, I know, I know). This random person messaged me through my public writing page to say my website was down. It was late, so I thought, "Oh hell" and went to check my site. Which was fine.

A bimble around the neighbourhood for the Monday lunchtime cycle ride, as I checked out a few sites for the Shropshire rookeries survey. The return of more unsettled weather felt strangely comforting, and lovely to hear my first Whitethroat of the spring @jannerbirder.bsky.social #Shropshire 🌥️🚴
Butler's Pool, near Albrighton, is always good for catching a bit of afternoon sun 🌞St Mary Magdalene parish church, Hadnall, viewed from Church Lane... more about that thoroughfare in the next one! Church Lane connects Hadnall with the nearby hamlet of Haston - and is seen here on the approach to the railway bridge over the Shrewsbury-Crewe line. My first visit in many years, I came here to look for what I discovered was a redundant rookery but was delighted to discover the whole lane has been resurfaced (it used to resemble the surface of the Moon) 🎉 Needless to say, I plan to return again soon. An aside: the local farmer at Haston once held a music festival in one of his fields. Can you guess what it was called? Hastonbury!! 🙃A fab display of bluebells in woodland on the edge of the old Hardwick estate, near Hadnall.

All of these spoke to me, deeply.
A series of Tumblr posts:

The old magic persists thanks to its unfathomable power."
No, the old magic persists because the new magic can't run the legacy spells I need to do my job, and keeps trying to install spirits I don't want or need onto my orb.

Look, if the new magic didn't have a personality construct that kept trying to tell me which spells to use, maybe I wouldn't still be using the old magic.

Yes it had a deep blood cost, but at least it was a one time sacrifice and not this monthly bloodletting nonsense new age magic has

The old magic is robust enough to survive a decade of use and it's compatible with every wand, staff, scroll, and charm in our collection.
The new magic stops working after three days and every spell uses proprietary runes.
Our preferences, as an archiving institution, should be pretty clear.

You try to get guidance for the new magic and the king's sorcerers maybe will answer you in a few days with an unhelpful suggestion to buy the newest orb.
You need guidance for the old magic and a dozen retired middle-aged wizards will pop up to explain it to you rune by rune if necessary.

Good numbers of Slender Groundhoppers yesterday in Melverley at the marshy edge of a pond. First one swept by @lancefly.bsky.social then I saw another 10 or so, including what looks like a rather fat ie gravid female. Would be a little early, though Apr/May is the breeding season. #ukorthoptera
Slender Groundhopper swept by Nigel Jones. This looks like a gravid female. The widely-spaced eyes do confirm that she is a girl, anyway.

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.
