.......Photographs
- delighted to receive your photographs (please send to Michael - email mh@22mh.com)
to display on this site - anything about this lovely area we live in - which
will be of interest to viewers of buxtonweather.co.uk - I will always credit the
sender - (and I may take the liberty of adding some local information, and local
history!). Photos relating to our weather, local events, our wonderful Peak
District scenery, local animals and birds, love of the great outdoors - or what
have you!! I may delay posting photos, through extreme weather events - will
save them for once things calm down again! (My website providers go bananas when
20, 30, 40,000 page loads, land on the site in 8 hours!) Please click on a photo to see the
full size versions of all the photos - then just click the back arrow at the top

........AND...
I have had requests to see photos which have been removed - so from April 1st
2019, I have started an archive of a varied selection of the previously shown photographs
CLICK HERE to see those.
Although some of our
bird boxes have gained some nesting material over the last few days, none seem
to becoming a nest - if things change, will place a notice and link here
straight away - in the meantime, as a consolation, we have noticed today that a
pigeon has nested in a tree at the front of our house - and has one egg (now two
eggs) (NOW TWO CHICKS BEING FED - AND GROWING QUICKLY!!) !! - live
camera installed!-
- It is interesting to note that the pigeon
does not seem to leave the nest for food very often - but unlike blue tit
chicks who each need an incredible 100 grubs a day, baby pigeons feed on "crop
milk" produced by female and male pigeons, for the first week or so! ("Crop
Milk" is a gloopy milky nutrition produced in the bird's crop, by male and
female birds to feed chicks)
It also seems that the female pigeon sits on the nest from evening to the
morning and the male does the day shift!
I have put the
bird feeder camera back online after some changes at Google meant it was blocked
- you may see a warning that it is "NOT SECURE" - but of course I am not asking
you for credit cards of anything like that so it is NOT a security risk -
some may still find that the feed is blocked - please try another browser like
Edge of similar to see if that helps - "You likely have lots of birds of your own - but
if you want to watch birds at a feeder, in a tree in our garden,

Met Office - Longer Range Forecast, for the entire UK ©Met Office.:
...............Sunday 28 Apr - Tuesday 7 May
An uncertain start to the period though likely unsettled as a frontal system
continues to push north across the UK, coupled with strong winds and possible
coastal gales, this likely followed by a showery day with potential
thunderstorms on Sunday and again on Monday. Beyond this, low pressure patterns
continue to dominate with wet weather perhaps more likely to develop in parts of
the south and east, though all parts are may see some rain at times. Winds
further into the period mostly light to moderate. Temperatures will likely trend
near or slightly above average, though some cooler interludes remain possible.
Into early May, something of a north-south split looks possible, with relatively
drier conditions further to the north and the greatest chance of rain further to
the south.
Wednesday 8 May - Wednesday 22 May
In this period, the chances of unsettled weather are slightly less than usual in
the north and about the same as usual further south. Therefore, some spells of
wetter weather are likely for all, but perhaps especially southern areas with
the driest conditions probably further north. Temperatures probably near average
though with some cooler interludes possible.. Also worth noting that average
temperatures themselves rise by around 1C per week at this time of year........................
As
well as my own weather station in Harpur Hill in Buxton, at
