Rat Meme Monday via Frank and Steve. The great thing about the Money Rat is that he never over-promises or under-delivers, he does exactly what he says he'll do.
Picture of a rat against a backdrop of American dollar bills of varying denominations, with the text "If you share the Money Rat, the Money Rat will appear wherever you shared him".

A busy night so far in Windsor Castle. Great example of prickles going up but no fighting. The two hedgehogs eat side by side. 🦔

October…“When all the lovely wayside things
Their white-winged seeds are sowing,
And in the fields still green and fair,
Late aftermaths are growing.”

Hogweed, hollyhock, campion, creeping thistle, autumn hawk-bit, yarrow, green alkanet, feverfew found today. #WildflowerHour
A collage of eight wildflowers: delicate white umbels of hogweed; bright pink hollyhock blooms; white campion with star-like petals; purple spiky creeping thistle; small yellow autumn hawk-bit; clustered white yarrow heads; vivid blue green alkanet flowers; and daisy-like feverfew with yellow centres.

Yep, just the three of us having lunch on the patio today 😋 Good thing we have the guest table set up!

A view of a backyard patio and two tables, one for the two people having lunch and a small wooden table for the roadrunner to have mealworms.

Have been out this week surveying Goldilocks Aster (Galatella linosyris) on the steep limestone cliffs of Y Gogarth (Great Orme) for Species Recovery Trust. Glad to report it’s in fine fettle, flowering well - if a little late - after the summer drought #wildflowerhour @bsbibotany.bsky.social

More autumnal this week, but still plenty flowering in limestone grassland at Ring Haw NR - mostly late-summer stragglers such as Harebell and Wild Carrot, but also Wild Strawberry and Germander Speedwell, typically spring-flowering species

There’s the Ravi! One quick hop and it’s snack time!

Second trip to the snack bar today.

Roadrunner SoCal
A visiting roadrunner looks up at a small table on the patio. On the table is a white bowl with mealworms in it. The bird is deciding if he want to jump up on the table. The roadrunner is up on the small wooden table and about to grab a bite from the white bowl. The bird is in shade from the patio cover and the background is overexposed to almost all white.

Today’s #AutumnArrivalSpotlight is the Jack Snipe…master of the stealth and wobble! 👀

These charming little waders sneak into wet meadows and bogs from northern Europe, bobbing up and down as they feed along the water’s edge.

How's that for a Friday smile?
