🍄🌊 Lovely little sand dune mushrooms. Dune brittlestem (Psathyrella ammophila) spotted at Crimdon beach. 🌱 This fungi feeds on the decaying roots of marram grass.

Sadly there was a climate & nature shaped hole at the heart of Burnham’s speech. Nothing on the benefits of nature restoration & same old words on a “pragmatic” approach to N Sea drilling. There’s nothing pragmatic about pouring fuel on a scorching earth - he should rule out Rosebank & Jackdaw now

...we went to the South West corner for our last session before we start at Newbold quarry. Plenty to cut and rake off by the brook and around the Knapweed patch. Clumps of Knapweed left standing for next years butterflies to stand on!! .....

These are the fruits of Elaeagnus umbellata in November; the glistening silvery scales on the berries are a typical feature on Elaeagnus - often clothing leaves, stems and flowers. @darranjaques.bsky.social

Unusual dark-berried Crataegus at Kingsbury Water Park in Warwickshire this week. I was on a mission for something else , so didn't think to check for the number of seeds or any other clues. Any ideas? I'm back around that way later in the month, so should be able to pop by and look again

Several aquatic insects in this pond were almost unknown in North-east England before the turn of the century: Emperor Dragonfly, Screech Beetle (📷), the backswimmer Notonecta viridis & tiny water bug Plea minutissima. This demonstrates the rapid impact of climate change on our local wildlife.

Many ponds here are still dry. This one at Hartburn didn't look too promising, choked with invasive Curly Waterweed, but it was full of dragonfly larvae. At this time of year these are predominantly hawkers (Aeshnidae), which have multi-year life-cycles. @teesbirds.bsky.social

Do you have nature records in notebooks that you never look at and wonder what to do with? I've transcribed 10,000 records from the 1960-70s from a Welsh ornithological legend into @birdtrack.bsky.social and @cofnod.org.uk. And it was fascinating... #BirdingWales www.cofnod.org.uk/news/natural...

Another human life lost in ICE custody, and the systemic neglect continues without accountability. How many more horrific stories must come out of these detention facilities before we demand basic human dignity for all? Silence makes us complicit in this cruelty. www-cdn.abcnews.com/US/costa-ric...

#appleTree #heritageApples #gardening #UK Here’s my Keswick Codling apple tree, a northern heritage variety . It’s ten years old this year. Despite the hot, dry summer the tree has produced an abundance of fruit ( I should have thinned them out more). It’ll probably need a rest next year.

Pen, watercolor, black & white charcoal pencil.

Another featured piece from the Spooky Pants book.

A man in a sweater stands with his hands on his hips looking out of a large window with the curtains open. Things aren’t looking good outside, reader. A massive winged demon is emerging from the clouds as dozens of little ghosts and bone demons rip through the sky. On the ground below we see townsfolk running through the grass. Our man in the window is in no mood for this. He lets us know, “Oh, I am in no mood for this.” His dog looks out the window as well, wagging its tail.

Fantasia (1940) inspired drawing. I think I could’ve gone a little heavier with the chaos outside but we’ll try again with fresh drawings this October. I like how the clouds turned out. Trying to balance my sloppy lines with more detail can be tricky but I think we achieved a good result.

Portland Spurge, also at Humphrey Head; the flowering bit at some distance up the cliff and much as I like plants I was not willing to go any closer than the actual sand at the bottom of the cliff. Fitter says the red tinge is something Portland does but Sea Spurge does not. #WildflowerHour
