I’ve been taking a different kind of picture this week, sparked by my talented friend Rob Collins.

My wanderings in the Cotswolds this month were unexpectedly rich in interesting small creatures https://t.co/wQfsgLOoJk

Lots of great nature photography to look forward to in October, not least the Wildlife Photographer of the Year awards, presided over by Hope, the blue whale. See https://t.co/BQFIo6xMPt

All my favourite pictures this month are from the beautiful Isles of Scilly https://t.co/sUm01dcEzg

@liz_dauncey @wildflower_hour Yours look lovely, and perhaps wise not to open just yet. Look what happened to mine in last week’s storms!

@VenetiaJane Lovely collage.

@philpmj @SteveOrmerod Box moth caterpillar. I love the little ‘oh no’ emojis on its side.

@philpmj @SteveOrmerod I raise you this:

For years I’ve been searching for Fiona pinnata, a rare pelagic nudibranch originating in the tropics of the Sargasso Sea living amongst goose barnacles. On Tue I found five + dozens of egg masses!
This is the first record for Scilly, with possibly less than 10 British records 🙌

Bird’s-foot trefoil for #wildflowerhour. A headache of apostrophes and hyphens for editors. Maybe just call it eggs and bacon? Or is it ham and eggs, hen and chickens, lady’s fingers, granny’s toenails…
Seen @WWTSlimbridge last week @wildflower_hour

@FionasWildLife @BDSdragonflies @WildlifeGardenP @_JoelAshton @GreenFGeorge @froglifers @ARC_Bytes @urbanponds101 Same here. Amazed at the number of amphibians just one year on. Where did they all come from?! Also a very large dragonfly nymph, which I think is a southern hawker.

Wondering where all the male mallards have gone?

They're still there... just in camouflage!

Every breeding season is finished by what we call the "eclipse" moult. 👇

A fringed water lily for #wildflowerhour. Not a lily at all, it seems, but a member of the bogbean family. As well as distinctive, jagged-edged petals, it has rather unusual, long, angled anthers. Each flower lasts only about 24 hours #pond #cotswolds @wildflower_hour

Wild carrot in the garden after the rain yesterday.

@B_Strawbridge @HedgehogCabin We’re very lucky - a few every year for the past few years, though at least 10 years hiatus before that.
