Not only has the frogbit gone completely mad and covered every inch of our pond this year, it has also flowered for the first time ever!

The strangest looking Common Hawkweed. This is just one stem on the plant - everything else looks like it normally does #wildflowerhour

Purple and yellow catkins on the Snails Brook near Radstock. The photo doesn't really do it justice - particularly the Alder catkins which were a much more vivid purple in real life.

There's been a mass emergence of dragonflies from the pond. 6 cases on the yellow flag. Sad that I missed it, but very happy our little pond is so wildlife rich.

A Red Waxcap? Found in the fields close to home. Seems to have been a good year for the waxcaps.
