The Moon & Venus

Just after sunset the very thin waxing crescent Moon was quite close in the southern sky to the brilliant planet Venus. At maximum elongation its gibbous phase was clearly visible!

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
