Singing grey squirrels LOL!! Thanks for sharing that idea.
Someone had left this at #AshlwncuttingLNR . A visiting school group...a least they got outdoors for a while. Reds were also considered a pest in their heyday so it goes that we dn't know what we've got 'til it's gone....

@ukorchids.bsky.social . A visit to VC38 only known Man orchid site today was a bit disappointing. I could only ind 5 contenders. Hoping for a better show in flowering season,the colony is struggling! @bsbibotany.bsky.social

I was going to keep dry by sitting in a hide at #BrandonMarsh today but got distracted,and it wasn't as wet as the forecast suggested. Very poor light and it was difficult to get birds in focus but here's 3 of them. #Birdwatching

Perhaps because of last years long dry spell when the spring fed ditch dried out the Marsh Marigolds are smaller and we've only just seen a flower at #AshlawncutingLNR. This one is a very welcome sight @wildflowerhour.bsky.social

#AshlawncuttingLNR volunteers work on alternate sundays and today 5 of us turned out to carry on coppicing Willows and adding to the impressive length of dead hedge between the marsh and the main path .

And in a sunny spell we spotted movement. "A butterfly!!!" we exclaimed as this Peacock awoke and fluttered above the Bramble before settling back. It took ages to refind but flew again and landed next to the path.

Thinning out a few small trees and grubbing out prostrate Ivy at Rugby's Newbold Quarry this morning. We dodged the forecast drizzle too. Didn't make the steep slopes any easier to work on though but made it possible!
