In the 1905 Wild Flowers Month by Month Step discussed the difficulties of photographing Wild Daffodils in the woods. So this morning I ventured out looking for Wild Daffodils in the woods near me. I found #WoodAnemone too for #WildflowerHour

What’s Amendment 130 and why does it matter?
It ensures the new planning system works with nature, not against. It will:
🌳 Protect wildlife - without it, nature & development both lose out.
✅ Provide certainty in planning.
💚 Please stand with nature 👉 action.wildlifetrusts.org/page/180301

Email your MP. Amendment 130 would make sure the new planning systems works for, not against nature.demand they keep amendment 130 in the Bill
It's now or never. This is the last chance to protect nature in the Planning and Infrastructure Bill.
Email your MP to keep amendment 130 in the Bill.

Birds aren’t the only creatures that fly south for the winter.

@lincswildlife.bsky.social Spent an hour picking litter from a LWT roadside reserve. When I took the two sacks of rubbish, a broken traffic cone, and a huge piece of wood to the local recycling centre this gorgeous creature made an appearance! Transported back to safety in a bag for

I gave in... here's a collection of some of the amazing flowers I've seen this year...
Mostly orchids, and I'm not naming them, you have to work it out 😉

Looking forward to finding them all again, and more, in 2026 🍻

The last orchids of the year at Swaddywell NR near Peterborough, two perfect Autumn Lady's-tresses, their creamy white flowers spiralling upwards to the dizzy heights of 10cm, dancing in the grass with a seedling Dog-rose...

You may recall that I was caught up in the collapse of publishers Unbound.
I now have the rights to my book Why Do Birds Suddenly Disappear? And I have a lot of them to get rid of.
So if you felt like buying one I might see my office floor again before 2027.

Needed to do some work on the train home so shelled out for a first class ticket. Where I’m sitting on the floor! Honestly, I travel the world by train and so many countries get it so right. Why can’t we? 😢
