botanyman.bsky.social @botanyman.bsky.social · 08/07/2026He hasn’t ruled out another species and has consulted more widely. If it is confirmed as a different species species it would be a new UK record 030
botanyman.bsky.social @botanyman.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Yes, I have added the record to the database so you don’t have do anything. Fantastic find by the way 120
botanyman.bsky.social @botanyman.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Hi Emma, Michael Wilcox has examined a sample of the plant I took and has determined that it is Gamochaeta purpurea only 43 previous records in the database and 16 of those records in the last two years. It could possibly be spreading in the UK. Most records are in the south 120
botanyman.bsky.social @botanyman.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Yes I will, I might send a sample to Michael Wilcox a top national botanist for confirmation of identity 130
botanyman.bsky.social @botanyman.bsky.social · 21/06/2026@emmasartworks.bsky.social Hi Emma could you possibly give me a grid reference for the cudweed species you have found in Middlesbrough. I am the BSBI county recorder. 020
botanyman.bsky.social @botanyman.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Interesting plants I will go and take a look today 110
botanyman.bsky.social @botanyman.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Nice views of the beautiful male Black Redstart at Skinningrove this morning 020
botanyman.bsky.social @botanyman.bsky.social · 06/01/2026I really enjoyed it as well it was nice to talk botany all day 000
botanyman.bsky.social @botanyman.bsky.social · 05/01/2026Don’t forget to feed the birds. Here are some photos from yesterday at Margrove Park, North East England 000
botanyman.bsky.social @botanyman.bsky.social · 05/01/2026BSBI New Year Plant Hunt Our dream team of Ambroise, Barry, Martin and myself searched through Saltburn on the 2nd of January. Despite the bitter wind we did find an amazing 63 species in flower our highest total yet. We are currently in the top 20 in the UK. 292
botanyman.bsky.social @botanyman.bsky.social · 27/07/2025@ambroisebaker.bsky.social Have you any suggestions for this plant found by Wendy English growing in the Beaver enclosure. To me it looks like Bidens cernua. The sessile leaves seem to suggest that. No achenes though. What do you think? There are only three records in VC62 of B. cernua 110
botanyman.bsky.social @botanyman.bsky.social · 26/07/2025Having looked at the plant again I agree with you about it being rubrum as it’s not showing any signs of a cordate base to the leaves. 000
botanyman.bsky.social @botanyman.bsky.social · 24/07/2025It could be but it is quite stunted it was raining heavily when I noticed it may go back and have another look. I found what looks like Chenopodiastrum hybridum on the sea wall near the car park in Saltburn. 300
botanyman.bsky.social @botanyman.bsky.social · 23/07/2025@ambroisebaker.bsky.social I found this plant at the edge of the road in Marske what would be your opinion on the ID? 120
botanyman.bsky.social @botanyman.bsky.social · 20/07/2025Great views of the flying barn door! The awesome White-tailed sea eagle on the North York Moors this afternoon. The 4th largest eagle in the world 030
botanyman.bsky.social @botanyman.bsky.social · 26/06/2025@bsbibotany.bsky.social @teeswildlife.bsky.social Interesting find by James Harding-Morris in Coatham, Redcar of a plant which most people would just think is a “weed” Compact Dock Rumex thyrsiflorus This is only the second record in the whole of the UK It is a bit like Common Sorrel on steroids 2101
