Mercury and Venus: the Moon joins in the fun!

Last night an incredibly thin crescent Moon was just to the south of Mercury and Venus: a beautiful and quite unusual sight in the twilight sky. Now all we need is a decent comet!

About Me

David Bryant: For twenty five years I was the UK's only full time meteorite dealer. I've met and spent time with many astronauts, cosmonauts and pilots. When I'm not looking for birds and other wildlife to photograph, I play guitar and sing in a terrific rock & blues band. My wife Linda and I used to travel all over the UK to see - and video - new birds: three times we took part in the National 24 hour Bird Race with the Cley Casuals team. We won twice and came second once: our highest audited total was 158 species.
During a hectic few years making and selling rare bird videos, we passed 400 species and decided it was time to ease back a bit and now concentrate on the eastern counties.I generally manage to see around 220 species a year: twice I've passed 300

2015 total: 239
2016 total: 240
2017 total: 225
2018 total: 243
2019 total: 236
2020 total: 245
2021 total: 227
2022 total: 252
2023 total: 227
2024 total: 215
2025 total: 204
