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

@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
life.

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? 😢
