GrahamC75 @grahamc57.bsky.social · 28/09/2026A great last win of the season! We finished a credible fourth. No - not out of four! Congrats to Kent and Durham gaining promotion. Looking forward to next year. #Cricket #Middlesex #UpTheSex! 010

GrahamC75 @grahamc57.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Clouded Yellow! I'd only seen two in my life before today. There must have been close to twenty around EWT Abberton. Chuffed! #Abberton #Lepidoptera #Butterflies #Butterfly #UKWildlife 000
GrahamC75 @grahamc57.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Looking forward to it - do they eat cheese? I've got some Double Gloucester left...😂 110

GrahamC75 @grahamc57.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I counted at least 25 Spoonbills out on Abberton Reservoir. Sadly, most were asleep, and the sun had gone in. But still, Spoonbills…! #Abberton #EssexBirding #UKWildlife #Birds🪶 1141
GrahamC75 @grahamc57.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Osprey! I was sat in a Hide, in EWT's Abberton reserve. I'd heard about an Osprey visiting, but…suddenly, there it was!😍 With a fish. Wow. #Abberton #EssexBirding #UKWildlife 0141

GrahamC75 @grahamc57.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Visited Abberton Reservoir yesterday. Top day! This is one of many Great White Egrets Ardea alba. It was so close, it was a frame-filler! #GreatEgret #Abberton #EssexBirding 0150

GrahamC75 @grahamc57.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Another great story! A good opening is always the key. The ticking clock then heightened the tension. The premise that other-worldly beings are controlling our time-lines is intriguing. You’re now working at a level where the difference isn’t story vs no story, it’s good story vs memorable one. 👍 110

GrahamC75 @grahamc57.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Spotted a male Migrant Hawker on the pond today. A few days ago, a Ruddy Darter appeared. 18 species this year.😲 #Dragonfly #Odonata 121
GrahamC75 @grahamc57.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Some of the many flora I've photographed over the years. For one reason or another they're a few of my favourites. Flowers are good for my mental health. Happy to be corrected on any IDs. #Flowers #Flora #AFlowerADayKeepsThePsychologistAway @plantlifeuk.bsky.social 050
GrahamC75 @grahamc57.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Flora is still around and about, despite the drought conditions. It's also still a tad warm hereabouts. #Flowers #Flora #WhenIsItGonnaCoolDown 040
GrahamC75 @grahamc57.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Southern Migrant Hawker Aeshna affinis from the family Aeshnidae. I've encountered a few of these on the continent, but sadly never in the UK. I fervently hope to, one day. #Dragonflies #Odonata #UKWildlife 041

GrahamC75 @grahamc57.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Another excellent story!😃 You’re writing like someone who expects to be read. The structure, the premise, the ideas, are spot on. You’re improving very visibly from piece to piece, and this is one of your more ambitious stories. It shows. 👍 110
GrahamC75 @grahamc57.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Finally, the Willow Emeralds have arrived at my pond! I've been waiting years. Today: 2 x males, and a conjoined pair. Upto 16 odonata species, now. Next up, Migrant Hawker. #WillowEmerald #Damselfly #Odonata @britishdragonflies.bsky.social 150
GrahamC75 @grahamc57.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Flora has exploded since the season began, despite being in drought conditions. Still, she's looking well. Though, the grassy areas are looking a bit brown and barren. #Flora #Flowers @plantlifeuk.bsky.social 030
GrahamC75 @grahamc57.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Another terrific local river trail walk yesterday. There appeared to be swarms of Painted Lady's.

GrahamC75 @grahamc57.bsky.social · 20/07/2026I visited Ethiopia a few years back, and found some amazing wildlife. One of which was this African Pygmy Kingfisher. It flew in and sat just a few feet away from me. #AfricanPygmyKingfisher #Kingfisher #Ethiopia 020
GrahamC75 @grahamc57.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Another lovely story! The atmosphere and the set-up had me thinking I was there, sat with my fishing rod. I quite liked the lines, “…The person in the mirror looks like his father used to look…” and "...Sailors are supposed to have thicker skin...” They evoke a sense of a life long led. 👏 110
