Lovely colours earlier just as the Sun was setting..................

Glorious today 😎 Not sure what this represents?

It's just electronics and having the right software to access and alter data I guess? Suspect it was more difficult in the days of old fashioned mechanical speedos & service books? Looks like the Automotive industry needs to do work on securing their platforms and blocking access etc

Sounds like altering reported State of Health might be the new mileage clocking? Caveat emptor!

Sounds much like the shenanigans which went on with diesels! This comment is especially telling 🤔 https://youtu.be/LzFHGLEq7jM?si=RKCRbnnjNxSyPzl4

Quite misty at Rufford Park tonight and came across a lovely Frog!

Lovely (full) Moon this evening....

Guessing it's nesting time?

A glorious morning............

First decent sunset in a while this evening........

The government responded 😏 https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/756814?reveal_response=yes

A few from this morning. The Robin joined us at our table!

A few from today. Thought the Great Tit was being optimistic!

Suspect it's not likely to reach the threshold for a parliamentary debate 🙁

Sorry - I'd magic erased the number plate which then obscured the Commer on the front.

Another couple of rarities.........

Took in fading light with flash this evening - relieved the flash didn't discombobulate the Robin!

Came across this orange globe in the sky this evening 🤔

We visited Idle Valley nature reserve and whilst water levels are falling the River Idle remained in full flow VID-20260212-WA0013.mp4

The Trent was in full flow! PXL_20260211_151343869~3.mp4

Couple from a very soggy Attenborough Nature reserve earlier. We were lucky enough to spot what we think is a Kestrel?

I do wonder if the lack of a mandatory maintenance schedule for Tesla is a contributory factor? Although saying that many cars undergoing their first MOT will be recently returned from lease and may not have had a recent service or inspection, especially as many (none Tesla) EV's have a 2 year/20k miles serviced interval? When I purchased my XJ8 I was a little staggered to read it had failed its first MOT on bald tyres (cords exposed!!) at 14k miles, despite a full Jaguar main dealer service history🤔

Have to say this seems sensible: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/756814

And a few from this weekend.....

At the Res today
