This Birch Shieldbug was on Devil's Bit Scabious, and its beauty took my breath away when I viewed it through the macro lens. Covered in misty dew, his shield shaped back appeared like he was covered in precious jewels. Magical encounter ♥️ @peatlandecr.bsky.social @irishwildlifetrust.bsky.social

Walking in the wet woodland of Killaun in 2020, and accidentally kicking over a well rotted branch, and I noticed this tiny little fungi. When I looked at it through the macro lens I was blown away by its beauty. This is a Mycena species, the Dewdrop Bonnet @peatlandecr.bsky.social

How might efforts to restore the UK's peatlands make better use of the knowledge and expertise of local communities and landowners?   With support from @policybristol.bsky.social, we've just released a policy briefing on exactly this question! Check it out here: www.bristol.ac.uk/policybristo...
