In a place where there’s been a whitethroat territory and a grasshopper warbler territory for the 14 years I’ve lived in the village, both are back this morning. My second territory for both this year. Welcome home little ones.

Bird place-name of the day folks. Crows today, because I was back at one of the corvid places in my book this week in Devon too. My favourite crow place though is in Yorkshire. CRACKPOT. Old Norse kraka + Middle English pot. 'Rift in rock where crows abound'. #naturewriting #birdsandplace

These galls on some local Sweet Chestnut had me confused as they were not in my big gall book. A bit of googling however led me to the Oriental Chestnut Gall Wasp. I don't know if the tiny wasp near the galls is the gall wasp itself, (continued in next post) www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/trees-woods-...

Always striking how different the attitudes of the major landowner body is on access in Scotland since the Land Reform Act. "As a large estate owner.. [it] feels like a moral contract that we need to provide the basic services required for people to take safe access" bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0029zpk

Some of our #wildflowers are so incredibly minuscule they are very easy to miss! This week’s challenge is to get your specs 🤓 on & see if you find any #tinyplants in bloom. Share your finds for #WildflowerHour this Sunday 8-9pm! Happy teeny flower spotting! 🧐🌸🌿
Some of our wildflowers are incredibly tiny but when you take the time to look more closely, they are fascinating and beautiful, like this teeny Cornsalad pictured in the photo.

Eye-opening graph. The biggest wildfire incidents in the UK don't occur when it's hottest, in high summer: they take place in April - *when landowners set fire to their grouse moors & lose control of burns.* Time to ban moorland burning. Source: www.iucn-uk-peatlandprogramme.org/sites/defaul...

An excellent day out with the Burton Fellwalkers yesterday. Took the Ullswater steamer from Glenridding to Howtown, then walked into Boredale to climb Place Fell. Returned via Patterdale. 1st #Wainwright of 2025 for me.
View from Ullswater steamer showing the lake surface in foreground with another boat cruising away from Howtown jetty. Blue sky with white clouds above a scene of Lake District mountains rising from the shore of the lake.A view of 3 walkers moving away from the camera across a wide expanse of moorland. Hazy blue skies above and in the far distance the peak of Place Fell. 3 walkers moving away from camera up a moderately steep path through moorlan and rocks. In the mid-distance the top of Place Fell with a trig point obelisk showing against the hazy clouded sky. A wide angle view from the rocky top of Place Fell with a long distance view of moorland, with Ullswater lake and a hazy horizon beyond. In the foreground 3 walkers are starting to settle down to eat their lunch.

A little phone sketch from Harris this morning. The quartz crystals were attractive but a tad too busy for a transition to the big camera. The sea was pure 'Harris' however.
Complex quartz crystals form the foreground while the turquoise sea leads into the distant hill. A cloudy sky completes the top of the frame.
