Retired and living in beautiful Cornwall. I like books and wild flowers. Happiest on a long walk in the country with a big dog.

@mrdanwalker They’re all the best dogs.

Can anyone help me identify this wildflower please? Ahead of very small flowers at ground level in a Cornish woodland. @wildflower_hour

[Gill Briggs @gillbriggs]

A profusion of wildflowers out on the coast path yesterday - Red campion, Stitchwort, Sea Campion and Ground Ivy. Also lots of Lesser Celandine and Violets #wildflowerhour

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. RT if you agree 🌳

I am right in thinking everyone wants to Rejoin the Eu aren't I?

Like if you do
RT if you really do

As it's Friday, I'm asking all my followers to please retweet this photo to help my little bird account to beat the algorithm and be seen!🙏
To make it worth sharing, here's a Chaffinch showing off the beautiful patterns on its wings.😍
Thank you so much!🐦

This Halloween, why not scare your local archivist by dressing up as:

- A rusty staple
- A box labelled 'misc'
- A pen in a searchroom
- Someone trying to order a 240 box collection
- A postal deposit of floppy discs
- Someone asking why you can't just 'digitise everything'

[Carl Bovis @CarlBovisNature]

It amazes me that despite tweeting 5 or 6 new bird photos every single day, despite paying for Twitter & having a big following, I still get followers saying they don't see my posts!🤯
Can you do me a favour?❤️
If you follow me & see this tweet, can you retweet it please. 🙏🐦

Next Friday 11am @RHSWisley Hilltop's Library there's a rare chance to see excerpts of archive film footage from the past 60 years. see Wisley and its visitors in earlier decades, the madcap antics of Wisley students in the 60s and more!

@ruskin147 Not available in Waterstones Plymouth last week, and told me there were no copies in the warehouse so I couldn't order it. #RuskinPark

Anyone know what's going on here? Would it be 2 males fighting over a female, or a female telling the male she's not interested? It looked pretty vicious!

[Gill Briggs @gillbriggs]

Sea thrift on a perfect Cornish day #wildflowerhour

[Royal Horticultural Society Libraries @RHSLibraries]

Only one week left to see this deadly display at our London library - don't miss it!

[Gill Briggs @gillbriggs]

@brianh4951 There seem to be plenty of them here in Cornwall!

[Gill Briggs @gillbriggs]

Are these both Cuckoo flowers? The one on the left seems to have more petals. . #wildflowerID

[Gill Briggs @gillbriggs]

@NatureLark Thanks Moira - good to know!
