Field Notes Journal is a record of an ongoing habit: noticing what’s around me, and writing it down.
It brings together wildlife observations, travel journals, and day-to-day field notes, alongside longer-term studies of the patterns behind them.
Everything here begins with observation, and builds over time.
Most of these notes begin outdoors - on walks, in passing moments, and in the gradual accumulation of small observations. Some continue later, at a desk or bench, where they are revisited, examined, and extended.
Over time, this has grown into a set of connected strands. At its centre is the journal itself - a mixture of writing, wildlife records, and travel accounts - supported by longer-running investigations into the patterns behind what I see.
The site brings these together as a combination of narrative, records, and analysis: written entries, structured reports, charts, images, and datasets. The tools used to create them are modern, but the approach is a familiar one - patient, incremental, and shaped by repetition.
You’ll find material here covering:
- Wildlife sightings and natural history records
- Travel journals and field-based writing
- Photography and microscopy as observational tools
- Weather observations from a developing local station
- Aircraft movements and flight patterns
Each part can be explored on its own, but together they form a set of personal field notes: a way of returning to everyday observations and allowing them to build into something larger over time.
