Nature, landscape, countryside, finding beauty in the small and ordinary.

Look who popped in for lunch at College Lake visitor centre! Who needs a lawnmower when you have a herd of Hebridean sheep?

Reigniting the embers from the night before. The first birds leaving the wood, the ground, the eaves, the ivy; gulls crossing back from the distant lakes to the ploughed fields, in arrow shapes, the lead bird coulter to the others’ mouldboard, turning furrows across the sky.

Clear them away? These are puffballs and non-toxic. If you hadn’t noticed, we’re in a biodiversity crisis - issuing some sound advice by asking people not to unnecessarily destroy wildlife wouldn’t go amiss.

Corn Marigold in our garden. The flowers are still looking good, but the leaves have taken a severe battering from the recent cold weather.

New models for woodland creation: as multi-purpose, multi-species, multi-landscape forestry

[Joshua Styles @joshual951]

@blackgull The majority of this area is upland heath, a Habitat of Principal Importance in England. Why is it being destroyed with no mitigation?

[Joshua Styles @joshual951]

Even more nature destruction - the majority of this land area in Northumberland is Upland Heathland, a Habitat of Principal Importance in England.

The proposal? To convert the majority of the area into plantation, including 41% to go to a Sitka Spruce monoculture.

I had fun putting this together, there are lots of cute wildlife pins out there by independent designers and charities.

Glad of the existence of birds to give me a reason to get up in the morning.

Who lives in the Chalgrove?

Here is a caseless caddisfly larva, of the family Rhyacophila. These insects play an important role in chalk streams as they are excellent food for trout!
