CLOCK WITH BIRDS THAT MAKES YOU ENJOY NATURE INDOORS

With more than one sparrows casually perched in front of it, the Sparrow Round Clock is a clock with birds that seamlessly integrates timepiece and sculptural decor. The white birds give the clock a stunning neoclassical sculptural appeal, because the clock sits proper at the back of it, each partially obscured yet visible to the eye. What Taiwan-based Haoshi Design does is create a product-fusion where shape and feature coexist, but as separate entities within the same product. The clock isn’t sculptural, and the sparrows aren’t functional… and they may one after the other exist as two, mundane merchandise too. However, integrate them together and they become the lovely and blissful clock this is certain to make you smile every time you have a look at it!

The End of British Summer Time This Year

Don’t forget if you’re in the UK we’re back to Greenwich Mean Time in the middle of tonight and it’s the first time in the five year restoration of the famous London clock inside Big Ben’s tower, that the correct time will be shown in winter. The lights will be turned off as the hands spin to change the hour.

Greenwich Mean Time is the yearly average (or ‘mean’) of the time each day when the Sun crosses the Prime Meridian at the Royal Observatory Greenwich.

Essentially, mean time is clock time rather than solar (astronomical) time.

Solar time varies throughout the year, as the time interval between the Sun crossing a set meridian line changes.

But each day measured by a clock has the same length, equal to the average (mean) length of a solar day. It’s a way of standardising and regularising time so we can all know exactly what time it is for our (or anyone’s) location.

Today GMT is reckoned from one midnight to the next.

GMT stands for Greenwich Mean Time, the local clock time at Greenwich. From 1884 until 1972, GMT was the international standard of civil time. Though it has now been replaced by Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), GMT is still the legal time in Britain in the winter, used by the Met Office, Royal Navy and BBC World Service. Greenwich Mean Time is also the name of the time zone used by some countries in Africa and Western Europe, including in Iceland all year round.

It wasn’t until the invention of the pendulum clock in the 1650s that it was possible to work out the relationship between mean (clock) time and solar time.

John Flamsteed came up with the formula for converting solar time to mean time, and published a set of conversion tables in the early 1670s. Soon after, he was appointed as the first Astronomer Royal and moved into the new Royal Observatory in Greenwich.

Here he had the best pendulum clocks installed and set them to the local time. This was Greenwich Mean Time, or the average time when the Sun crossed the meridian at Greenwich. At first though, Greenwich time was only really important to astronomers.

In the 1700s, the fifth Astronomer Royal Nevil Maskelyne brought Greenwich Mean Time to a wider audience.

In 1767 Maskelyne introduced the Nautical Almanac as part of the great 18th century quest to determine longitude.

These were tables of ‘lunar distance’ data based on observations at Greenwich and using GMT as the time standard. This data enabled navigators to find their position at sea.

GMT was also crucial to the other great solution to the ‘longitude problem’, represented by John Harrison’s famous timekeepers.

British mariners started keeping at least one chronometer set to GMT. This meant they could calculate their longitude from the Greenwich meridian (longitude 0° by convention).

These two solutions would help pave the way for GMT to become the worldwide time standard a century later.

Until the mid-19th century, almost every town kept its own local time, defined by the Sun. There were no national or international conventions which set how time should be measured.

This meant there was no standard timings for when the day would begin and end, or what length an hour might be. As well as Greenwich Mean Time for example, there was also Bristol Mean Time (10 minutes behind GMT) Cardiff Mean Time (13 minutes behind GMT).

However, the 1850s and 1860s saw the expansion of the railway and communications networks. This meant the need for an national time standard became imperative.

British railway companies started introducing a single standard time across their networks, designed to make their timetables less confusing. It was mostly Greenwich Mean Time that they used. GMT was ultimately adopted across Great Britain by the Railway Clearing House in December 1847. It officially became 'Railway Time'.

By the mid-1850s, almost all public clocks in Britain were set to Greenwich Mean Time and it finally became Britain’s legal standard time in 1880.

In 1884 the Greenwich Meridian was recommended as the Prime Meridian of the World.

There were two main reasons for this. The first was that the USA had already chosen Greenwich as the basis for its own national time zone system. The second was that in the late 19th century, 72% of the world's commerce depended on sea-charts which used Greenwich as the Prime Meridian.

The recommendation was based on the argument that naming Greenwich as Longitude 0º would be of advantage to the largest number of people.

As the reference for GMT, the Prime Meridian at Greenwich therefore became the centre of world time and the basis for the global system of time zones.

All this information courtesy of the royal observatory in Flamsteed House at Greenwich, London, which is an excuse to post my photos of the red ball dropping at 1pm - a daily occurrence for ships on the River Thames to check their time pieces and indeed for anyone else close enough to watch.

We were actually inside the Queen’s House and were able to watch the ball drop as we heard the clocks strikingindoors, which was rather nice.

I know that Ms NWtY has been adjusting the youngest Nature Watch’s bedtimes this week in order to help counteract the change, as the mornings are lighter and the dark nights roll in all the sooner. Our resident peacock, Inspector Pritchard, has been behaving quite out of character this week. Last weekend, in the Autumn sunshine, he spent a whole day perched on the rails around the decking and then he went missing for almost three days. I did check, and he’d been next door but one, mostly either admiring himself in a garden mirror, or hunkering down in the greenhouse. About a minute and a half after I messaged to enquire if he was there, he showed up here, had a light supper and disappeared again into the early evening gloom. This happened again a couple of times, he was missing all day and just wandered over about six o’clock for a little something. I’ll have to see how his pattern goes over the next week or so.

We’ve had incredible amounts of rain, a lot of my garden pots are now small reservoirs and I fear some peony tubers will have rotted away. Pritchard was extremely soggy too, so obviously didn’t cotton on to staying in K’s greenhouse when he should’ve been sheltering. I got these photos to show how he looks after the moult and document how his new feathers are developing. I had remarked to Crow that he’d kept his crown of head feathers, he lost them much earlier last year, but now they’re going too.

It’s a little hard to see as the windows were wet again of course, but if you look closely you can see how sparse that crown’s become.

I know there are some old superstitions about peacock feathers, but look how glorious they are, I couldn’t help but collect the ones he dropped in our garden and will get around to arranging them soon. At the moment they’re simply plonked in this tall glass vase. I wonder how many he lost at our neighbours’ ?
