Julien Nioche @begemoth.bsky.social · 25/05/2026Too hot on this canicular May Bank Holiday to write a long essay, so a little GIF will summarise it all just as well. 000
Julien Nioche @begemoth.bsky.social · 28/10/2025Finally visited Wistman wood (or rather looked into it from a respectful distance). Enough to see some nice examples of lychen. Not the most spectacular temperate #rainforest but probably the best known one in this country. 010
Julien Nioche @begemoth.bsky.social · 08/09/2025Working on a commission. Hadn't worked with walnut for quite a while, I love the smell of it and its look even more. #boxmaking #woodwork #handmade 030
Julien Nioche @begemoth.bsky.social · 14/08/2025If you're still in the area @irishrainforest.bsky.social don't miss the Skipinnish Oak 2222
Julien Nioche @begemoth.bsky.social · 25/07/2025Rescued this beauty from a pond in Gloucestershire. A Giant Horntail, also known as a Giant Woodwasp or Greater Horntail (Urocerus gigas) #BUGLIFE 010
Julien Nioche @begemoth.bsky.social · 21/07/2025Great to see so many ladybirds this summer #bugs #wildlife 030
Julien Nioche @begemoth.bsky.social · 18/07/2025@rspb.bsky.social was enjoying your magazine until I got to this advert. How do you manage to lament the degradation of the natural environment and the impact this has on wildlife and at the same time do the promotion of one of the most polluting and disruptive mode of travel? 000
Julien Nioche @begemoth.bsky.social · 07/06/2025Played citizen scientist for @avonneedstrees.bsky.social yesterday, taking soil samples in the Lower Chew Valley. This will establish a baseline to measure the impact of their landscape recovery projects. 110
Julien Nioche @begemoth.bsky.social · 31/05/2025Enjoyed a very nice walk in Devon this week near Gara Rock. Some majestic #trees on the way back to East Portlemouth 010
Julien Nioche @begemoth.bsky.social · 14/04/2025Met this beauty on a walk along the Dart this afternoon. Apparently, a Violet Oil Beetle. #buglife 000
Julien Nioche @begemoth.bsky.social · 23/02/2025Had a great day yesterday planting trees with Avon Needs Trees near Bristol. Loads of sunshine, good company and 350 more trees in the ground 030
Julien Nioche @begemoth.bsky.social · 15/11/2024From my news feed yesterday. Sums up things pretty well, doesn't it? 000
Julien Nioche @begemoth.bsky.social · 14/06/20243 day cycling from Bath to Poole, Bournemouth and Salisbury Enjoyed some beautiful landscapes. A balm for the mind and a tonic for the body 010
Julien Nioche @begemoth.bsky.social · 27/05/2024Planted my oaks in Tredean woods yesterday. Looking forward to see how they get on 000
Julien Nioche @begemoth.bsky.social · 25/05/2024Grew this beauty from an acorn a couple of years ago. Looking forward to connecting it and 3 others to a mycelium network tomorrow in Tredean woods. 1160
