I like the government pivot to reminding voters that Farage is an avowed enemy of NATO & Europe & an ardent admirer of Vladimir Putin, who routinely orders the murders of critics & opponents. It is politically effective & morally essential.

Unsure what these are? Found inside driftwood at Hinkley point beach, egg casing/ shed skin? Anyone know.

Very often find a Raven on these posts at Steart marshes.

Just waiting for confirmation but I think and hope this millipede is the Maerdy monster, Turdulisoma cf Helenreadae, probably endemic to one area in South Wales.

Maurieseuma nontronense, another rare millipede found in South Wales.

Absolutely thrilled to see this White basket fungi, Ileodictyon cibarium. My great thanks to Matt.

Think this is Leafy brain fungi, Tremella foliacea, New forest.

Anemone Stinkhorn, Aseroe rubra. Egg, hatching, full bloom.

Snow flea, Boreus hyemalis.

Over the moon to find this overwintering Crucifer morph shieldbug, Eurydema oleracea.

Beautiful example of Lions mane fungi, Hericium Erinaceus. Further two on outer part of tree but these were fully protected from the elements. Great big thank you to my friend Rebecca.

New forest Poronia punctata, these grow in the same area each year. Ponies eat grass which contains the spores, poop it out and so on, considered a rare fungi and an indicator of clean healthy environment. These are about life size.

Blunt-tailed snake millipede, Cylindroiuluspinctatus. Happy to be corrected. New forest.

Powderpuff bracket, Postia ptychogaster.

Perfectly framed Wren.

The UK’s ditching of the Tropical Forests Forever Facility (TFFF) showcases the Labour government’s disregard for environmental issues.

I don’t know why but it made me giggle 😉🫣😂

Regretfully (for the sake of the authors and journal staff), I have this morning declined an invitation to review for a @royalsociety.org journal because of the Society’s continued refusal to stand up for its values in dealing with Elon Musk FRS.

Shame on them 😡

Atlantic salmon on the river Teign attempting the near impossible weir. Seven hours watching these incredible creatures along with sea Trout, both of which are now safe from my diet.

Think this is a Drymus sylvaticus seed bug.

Unexpected visitor while foraging, Hazel dormouse.

This is URGENT and so important. Please do email your MP this weekend 👇🙏

This is exactly how he will be remembered

UK Government take note please @labouruk.bsky.social 🦇 🕷️🐌

Three hours spent at Drogo weir watching a dozen jumping trout, hard to say if any Salmon were amongst them, so random and impossible to take a still pic unless they were regular, however it was three hours I truly enjoyed.

Birds nest fungi, Crucibulum leave.

Boat-tailed grackle at Calshot really is a splendid looking bird, very glad I popped over to see it.

Red cage fungi, Clathrus ruba.

Devil’s fingers fungi, Clathrus archers. Egg, hatching and full glory.
