Ants or beetles worms or grubs
in deadfall tangles of trees or shrubs,
form whole cities you never knew were there,
nothing is beyond repair,
it is chewed at,
bored through
and then re-used,
in an insect world
where little is refused

@skeptikoi They build where we destroy

Two beautiful planets, Jupiter & Venus, glowing above Stonehenge in last night's twilight sky—a stunning sight to end the day. 😍🪐✨
If you zoom in to Jupiter, the smaller of the 2 planets you can just make out 3 of her Moons 🧐🤩 Photo credit Nick Bull 🙏

I love Little Owls. They provide me with a bit of a moral issue because they were only introduced to the UK 150 years ago. So, in theory I shouldn't like them because I believe in only having native species. But in their case I am afraid that I am a hypocrite.

Watch out, here comes a Canada Goose gosling! 😁😍

In a field near Wicken, Cambridgeshire larkspur is grown for London florists along with cornflowers & Nigella. It’s quite a sight just now-some floral dopamine for you 🌿:

@JohnCleese It looks like Private Godfrey from dad's army just arrived. But Private Godfrey and Arnold Ridley the man who played him both did their bit in WWI.

@TachiScribe @Mary_ork Some do well some not so well. This last one is doing much better but I have a good marketing team and I took some lessons. It took me 8 years to write the first 4. I won't publish until I am completely happy.

A good cover helps-this is my latest

Good luck with it all : )

@urbanponds101 We don't have any here-shame

[Betty 🏳️‍🌈 @Bettyvstuff]

We stared in horror as the cat flap flapped
a voice old and dry rasped
'can I have my finger back please?'
we handed him the finger the cat had brought home,
'cheers' he said,
'I'll remember to put the lid on properly next time I've been out, goodnight'

So lovely to see a Barn Owl hunting over Cley marshes this evening. Watch for the swoop at the end!
