I was surprised to see this lizard out this morning. It had fallen into a bucket of water, but was okay.
It's about 7°C out there, I thought they were not active at low temperatures.
After taking the photo I put it by a crevice between stones in a wall.
It crawled away to safety.

A Canadian company is applying for a licence to strip vast quantities of seaweed from the West coast of Ireland.
This is banned in Canada - a country with one of the world's longest coastlines.

I felled these 28 year old Sitka spruce trees 2 years ago. Now I am clearing into sections of the felled spruce to get in there to replant with native trees
One birch got planted today, beside the spade.

This Herald moth was overwintering in my firewood shed until I inadvertently disturbed it.
Here it is, shivering to prepare itself to fly to safety..
