Today I picked up a small snail which was in the middle of a large supermarket car park with no greenery within it and put it in a suitable hedge at one end of the car park. Good luck snail. 😁

After yesterday's foul weather I walked around our fields and found this growing on a dead Hawthorn branch. It's about 15mm across. The moss is quite beautiful next to it. 😎

I found this when moving an old wood pile. It's a our 12mm in diameter. I guess it the fruiting body of fungi within the old wood. It reminds me of Brain coral 🤔

17th Bird species I've seen visit the garden in 2025 is the Collared Dove. Overall I've seen 30 different species of Bird over the years visit the garden. I'm looking forward to starting a new record of insects 😁

Baby Clown Coris (Coris aygula) are simply stunning. White is a rare color in fishes and the white/black/orange combination is simple and extremely beautiful at the same time. I've only ever seen one of these, in the Red Sea, need to come back to see more! #ichthyology

Whip spider (Paraphrynus laevifrons) covered with chloropid fly puparia. The parasitoid fly attacks the eggs carried by the female. When done, the maggots climb on the "childless" mom's back and pupate. She protects them during this period thanks to her motherly instincts.
