@JFDIecologist @thenewgalaxy @SolwayRecycling Oh gosh that looks delicious!! 😋

[Rebecca Elizabeth @RebeccaEBate]

@JFDIecologist @thenewgalaxy @SolwayRecycling Aww thank you we’d love to!! 😊. You’ll both have to teach us how to look after chickens!

[Rebecca Elizabeth @RebeccaEBate]

@thenewgalaxy @JFDIecologist @SolwayRecycling The striped ones look fab and the set up looks great- definitely the sort of thing I want.. I also like the Bantam chickens though- they are so fluffy, these were the ones at Barton Grange if you remember..

Thread - What is a wildflower meadow and why are native species important?

Wildflower meadows contain flowering plants which were not sown or planted there & occur naturally. They're important because of how other species interact with them. These relationships are often complex

13/5/20 County Durham - It's fair to say I got a good walk this afternoon as Spring Gentians (Gentiana verna) typically grow in remote locations. Many were closed due to the wind but a few were open - they're incredibly blue even on a dull day #wildflowerhour @EuropeanOrchids

@thenewgalaxy @botany_beck @nervousbotanist @Haggewoods @BSBIbotany Although you do see scenes like this, which melt my heart 💓

@thenewgalaxy @botany_beck @nervousbotanist @Haggewoods @BSBIbotany Haha yes completely sympathise with your family!! I need to get one of those dog training collars, keep him on his feet 😂

The Football has been postponed but fear not, the inaugral European #Orchid Championships haven’t. @thenewgalaxy of @EuropeanOrchids & @Matt_Greenwings of @Greenwings have picked some awesome species to pitch against each other to decide a 2020 champion voted by you! Stay tuned!

@thenewgalaxy @dunnjons @Haggewoods @BryanYorke @Matt_Greenwings @botany_beck I’m pleased I made it higher up than @dunnjons. Although Thomas didn’t make the cut 🤣

10/8/18 Pyrénées - The magical setting of the Pyrenees was home to many great plants, but I was quite taken by these beautiful wild "Pottok" ponies which originate from the region. They are considered endangered and like many of my botanical crushes, threatened by habitat loss.

[Rebecca Elizabeth @RebeccaEBate]

@thenewgalaxy @dunnjons @Haggewoods @icooper_cooper @_Greenwings I’d given him until 4pm to find one and at midday he phoned and said he’d found one and was on his way back 😂... He made it look easy! The amount of time he’s spent looking for them back home...🙄

[Dr Richard Bate @thenewgalaxy]

13/8/18 Pyrénées - My wife very kindly gave me part of the last day of our holiday to go botanising. I headed for a good patch of dark woodland with many damp gulleys and after a steep climb was delighted to come across this lone example of Epipogium aphyllum, the Ghost #Orchid.
