My book has got a great endorsement from Chris Packham: "This clever and immensely resourceful book is an overdue gem". There's also a few pages up on the website too! It's up for pre-order here with publication set for January pelagicpublishing.com/products/pan...

More pandering to the far-right and more nonsense from an increasingly nonsensical government which is always reacting and never leading. I struggled with O level English and doubt I’d pass A level now. And I imagine like many reading this, I am descendant of immigrants (Irish and Italian).

Mark Telfer and I only went and refound Aulonia albimana on the Isle of Wight two days ago! Quite possibly the best spider find of my life! Lots of other records too. analternativenaturalhistoryofsussex.blogspot.com/2025/10/whit... #spiders #Isleofwight #biologicalrecording #panspecieslisting

A write up of an incredible few days at Menai with at least 15 nudibranchs (eight were lifers) and some very talented young naturalists that showed them to us! analternativenaturalhistoryofsussex.blogspot.com/2025/10/retu...

An incredible few days on the Isle of Wight last weekend, including a population of Praying Mantis (Mantis religiosa) found by Tony Davis and a mollusc that I found, Galeomma turtoni, that I believe is new to the Isle of Wight! analternativenaturalhistoryofsussex.blogspot.com/2025/08/mant...

You know when you are gonna have a good day when the first species is something nice. Loads of Dasypoda hirtipes (this is a male) yesterday at West Beach. One of 156 species recorded.

1/2 #speciesaday no. 627 is Humming-bird Hawk-moth (Macroglossum stellatarum). Nearly everyone knows the 'migratory' adult moth but here is the larva. Vac sampled from chalk-grassland on a farm in Brighton yesterday, they are well established here too. Feeds on bedstraws.

1/2 #speciesaday no. 625 is Calocoris roseomaculatus, a gorgeous mirid typically on chalk-grassland, where it feeds on a range of legumes. I do sometimes get in the dunes or on really nice grassland of other types but this is rare. Identifiable even as a nymph. Adults out now.

Been mothing since 1992 and this is only the 2nd ever Lappet I have ever seen. This was on the wall of the services at Pevensey yesterday, was totally stoked to see it. My last one was in July 2014 at Woods Mill. No wonder they are classed as Endangered now.

#speciesaday no. 621 is Calvadosia campanulata. A stalked jellyfish, the 1st stalked jellyfish I have seen in Sussex. Only seen this once before on the Isles of Scilly in 2020. This one was quite large (about 3 cm across) and was swept from Sargassum at The Pound last night!

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

1/2 #speciesaday no. 617 is Bordered Straw (Heliothis peltigera). One of two I found today on the Norfolk Estate. There must be so many migrants about if I am stumbling upon two of these in one day! I have now found more of these in the field than I have at light (3 in the field, 2 at light).

A walk in the woods to reset. Sunny spells, the sound of birdsong & a glimpse of a Roe deer amongst the bracken. Good times :)
