Starlings over the Helter Skelter, Brighton. 1000s arrive here every winter from as far as Scandinavia & somehow they move as one in a murmuration. Each bird is only reacting to its 7 closest neighbours, a phenomenon known as phase transition, yet the whole group ripples like a single living thing.

Up on the South Downs before sunrise a couple of days ago, looking over the Ouse Valley in Sussex. After a hard walk up a steep hill, it was nice to be rewarded with these conditions: mist lying across the fields below, the sky just starting to colour & that feeling of having the morning to myself.

Last November, the final light of the evening turned the grass beneath Stac Pollaidh a deep, glowing orange, under a sky of pink and violet cloud. It only lasted a little while, but it was one of those rare moments that stays with you.

This month’s page in the Brighton calendar is the West Pier captured with lightning, which felt like a good excuse to share some of the shots I’ve taken of this location.

Mist over the Sussex Weald, as seen from the South Downs. This set was shot from some of my favourite viewpoints along the South Downs, on mornings when the weald below filled with mist. The last view just sold as an A2 print, so felt like a good time to share a few more on the same theme.

Sunset over the Giant's Causeway. These basalt columns formed around 60 million years ago from cooling lava, and standing among them as the light faded was one of those moments that made the trip worth it. Have you been? #giantscauseway #northernireland

Some South Downs loveliness to start your weekend. If you're out on the Downs, please keep dogs on a lead near livestock and wildlife. It’s ground‑nesting season, and birds like skylarks may abandon their eggs if disturbed. Happy exploring 🤩 📸: Lloyd Lane @lloydlane.bsky.social

After weeks of seemingly endless rain on the Sussex coast, I managed to catch a clear morning on Wednesday at Cuckmere Haven. This was one of the last mornings before the sun starts rising inland behind the cliffs - a quiet, rare window of light, and a welcome break in the weather!
