New #ornithology paper out in @royalsocietypublishing.org! We show that female dotterels can move across large distances within a single breeding season in search of mating opportunities, visiting up to five different sites (median: 3) and travelling up to 1000 km between sites (median: 71 km). 1/n

Crowberries n Yogurt ! I really love the texture they add, they’ve got a nice firm outside and they pop kinda like grapes. I think foraging on trips is a great way to directly interact with the land, get to know it a bit better #foraging

There are over 18,000 types of lichen in existence. My personal favourite is ‘village bench lichen’, which devotes its entire existence selflessly to gradually making communal public seating more furry and comfortable.
A lovely furry bench in the village of Manaton, on Dartmoor.
