Tonight, the Harvest Moon rises: the full moon closest to the autumn equinox. 🌕

October’s full moon is also named the Hunter’s Moon, once marking a time to gather food for winter.

It will be the first of three supermoons this year, glowing bigger & brighter.

Moonrise: 19:44*

A close-up of a glowing full Moon, filling the frame against the black night sky. Its surface is marked with craters and rugged textures. This is a supermoon, appearing larger and brighter than usual.

Known for his unforgiving and often critical depictions of German society during the Weimar Republic, this self-portrait by Otto Dix (1912) pays homage to the work of the Italian Old Masters - the carnation was a popular motif in northern Italian Renaissance painting.

The lullaby of day’s end
coloured the sky at dusk
a burnt gold
clouds stilled to listen
to the unfolding melody,
entranced by notes of
longing, dying
Love’s yearning reached
into the absence,
‘just one more moment’,
she whispered
‘just one more love song’

The clouds are coloured a burnt gold as they spread out into the sky at dusk. The colour is brightest towards the centre bottom. A patch of dirty blue sky opens up at the centre top. Along the bottom is the black silhouette of the tops of trees. A dusk scene.

Today’s #AutumnArrivalSpotlight is the humble Woodpigeon!

Did you know these familiar birds migrate?

From late October to November, huge flocks, sometimes tens of thousands strong, can be spotted flying south on clear, autumn days, while others stay in the UK year-round.

⚠️ @pimlicat.bsky.social, CEO of Best for Britain, said:

“This development is yet another demonstration of the mounting cost of Brexit and Nigel Farage will have to explain to the steel workers he pretends to champion, how leaving the EU has benefitted them."

Farage must explain how Brexit has benefitted steel workers

Campaigners have warned that Brexit has left the UK "much more exposed" after reports that the EU is preparing a new 50% tariff on steel imports.

In Sussex, geodiversity is dominated by the chalk rock which underlies the South Downs & by the older sandstones & clays which underlie the High Weald, the Low Weald & the Wealden Greensand landscapes.
