Huge thanks to @sarahfaulkner.bsky.social & everyone else who shared pix for tonight's #WildFlowerHour: you've really brightened our evening!
Have a great week, keep hunting for #thewinter10 and let's catch up again next Sunday to share our finds!

Always a treat to see everyone's pictures for #wildflowerhour - very uplifting.

My contribution is from Chesil Beach today. Still some gorgeous Thrift in flower there. Even when the pretty pink petals have dropped, the remaining flower is rather beautiful, with a little yellow star in each "cup".

Found a whole bunch of these little Fairy Inkcap fungi (Coprinellus disseminatus) next to an old apple tree.

After a short bimble round the woods this morning I found these absolutely tiny fungi.
I think it’s maybe Beechleaf Bonnet (Mycena capillaris)

A male Beautiful Demoiselle (Calopteryx virgo) just coming into land on a floating reed.
Just need to up the shutter speed slightly next time.

There's still time to stop Berwick Bank, but only if we make ourselves heard.

Add your voice and tell them. Scotland can lead on renewables without sacrificing its seabirds.

Berwick Bank could kill more birds than any other windfarm on Earth, devastating colonies of Gannets, Puffins and Kittiwakes off Scotland’s coast. 🚨

We support renewables, but not at catastrophic cost to seabirds already in crisis.

The female Common Darter (Sympetrum striolatum) sits on the same reed with its own nymph skin after it crawled out of the water to moult into the adult form.
