Today's @theguardian.com country diary by Michael White on a batty crop of willows.

Haiku prompt: trail

Grass refusing to grow
Under the weight of a thousand footprints
A trail amidst the woods

If you hold your breath, the note of the forest will fold itself into your soul. In 2001, 25 elk returned to Cataloochee Valley after nearly 200 years of silence. Restore one species, and life ripples outward—because of the bugling songs of whales walking on land.

Next week I’ll be joining other authors/artists on this year’s @wainwrightprize.bsky.social’s shortlists for the awards at what was a regular spot for me when I lived in Kent—Elmley on the Isle of Sheppey. Can’t wait! #WainwrightPrize #naturewriting @kentwildlife.bsky.social @chiffchat.bsky.social

Nature writers, where do you post and share your work if you are trying to avoid major, problematic social media platforms?

Nature Observations September 9th.

The first hazelnut of the season lying on the concrete pavement;
A Red Kite hunched like a feathery gargoyle atop a pole;
A fast Brown Rat scuttling through the back garden;
The bite of Autumn in the air that lasts all day.

Out of the darkness comes a call,
Startling in the silence is Tawny Owl.

Relentless rain radically refreshes and revitalises.

(Aka the grass in the back garden is properly green again!)

“I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.”
