Ahem. Around 50M from where @WillLangdon12 found the egg remains of a breeding colony last year... a large tortoiseshell... definitely no longer extinct in the UK. @PortlandBirdObs @Dorsetbutterfly @DorsetWildlife @savebutterflies

@SomersetCCC 168 overs in the match.
It took us 38 overs to get them 9 down.
Knowing the weather we could have batted with INTENT for 80/90 overs and bowled them out twice in combined 80 overs.
This is what might have been.
I know it's unlikely but Somerset don't even try...

Strange cloud formation today. Like a hole in the sky.

@KumS79614653 @Houseof_Cricket You’re only saying that because you never saw David Gower. 🙂

@Vinod_r108 @AMAZlNGNATURE Literally not the only place.

@DrHelenFry At mum's?

@SeaSpitfires Good work. Success has many fathers...

@siobhankennedy4 @Channel4News Incredulous?? Incredible?

Glow worm, left, incapacitated the snail last night. This morning, it's joined by the scavengers.

@PortlandMuseum1 Brilliant achievement. Lasting legacy.

Delightful Adonis Blue on the East Weares just now, right below the castle.

@BC_Dorset I saw a single Painted Lady at Rufus Castle on Portland on January 30 -- but none since.

January Red Admiral in the warm sunshine at Rufus Castle today.

[Gerry Hinde @GerryHinde]

@PortlandBirdObs Church Ope steps pretty damp, too...

[Gerry Hinde @GerryHinde]

Still getting plenty of Red Admirals around Rufus Castle. This one (from Monday this week) has a white spot in the red band. @ukbutterflies kindly informs me this aberration is ab. bialbata

@andy33082645 Gusty, too, at Portland Bill today...

New barn owl box in the castle. Thanks to Pete Siddons for his interest and handiwork. @slashercutts

@georgecmcgavin I think you may find it was a "genuine" mistake.
