High on Bleaklow in the Peak District lies the wreckage of "Over Exposed!", a Boeing B-29 Superfortress that tragically crashed in November 1948 during a routine flight from RAF Scampton to RAF Burtonwood. All 13 crew members aboard lost their lives

Finding a WW2 plane wreck high in the Peak Districtโฆ ๐ฎโ๏ธ
Walking through the wreckage of the B-29 Superfortress on Bleaklow is an eerie and moving experience. Itโs unbelievable how much remains intact after all these years.

Major excavations are already carving up the farmland on Minster Marsh for National Gridโs Sea Link project.
Framed as mere "surveying", this invasive trenching is wrecking sensitive wildlife habitatsโall before full permission is even granted! ๐๐ฅ

I'm a Crane Fly , Commonly known as a daddy-long-legs.
I'm a harmless insect that sometimes feeds on nectar helping with pollination but mostly I don't eat anything
Please enjoy my company as a bumble around because I only live for a couple of weeks. ๐
Stumbled across this ancient can of Lilt complete with a classic ring-pull lid. Itโs mind-blowing how long plastic and metal last in natureโthis rubbish will easily outlive us all if it isn't recycled. ๐ฅคโป๏ธ
Remember these?

Watching huge numbers of greylag geese arrive to roost at Pegwell Bay as darkness falls is quite something! ๐ฆโจ
In autumn, these wonderful flocks gather in massive numbers as part of their seasonal migration and winter grouping behaviour.

It was good to see some cable ploughing happening at the East Kent ploughing match on Wednesday. Watching these twin steam engines work in tandem across the field with a balance plough is an extraordinary reminder of how heavy land was farmed back in the day! ๐๐จ
Packed out at the East Kent Ploughing Match today! ๐ Brilliant to celebrate local agricultural history and the skill on display. Modern farming has largely moved away from soil-damaging deep ploughing towards zero-till, but it's fantastic to see the heritage kept alive!
Watch a Peregrine Falcon come to life layer by layer! ๐ฆ

I 3D printed this model of the worldโs fastest bird.
Thereโs something so satisfying about seeing tech and wildlife conservation passion cross paths! ๐จ๏ธ๐ฟ

Thanks to the new nest tray, our resident peregrines raised 3 chicks for the first timeโa huge hit with locals and residents thrilled to share their home with them!

It was so non-stop busy chatting with so many wonderful followers that I didn't get a chance to take a single photo during the day! Here I am with a lovely certificate and a stunning dried flower wreath by Beaโs Art.
Stepping into Mother Shiptonโs Cave feels like walking straight into a legend. The Petrifying Well here turns everyday objects into stone right before your eyes, thanks to a incredibly high mineral content that coats everything in calcite over time.
