Horses as drivers of biodiversity: burdock seeds which will fall from a forelock next time it is shed and Poronia punctata, nail fungus, which apparently returned to Norfolk with ponies NWT imported from Dartmoor a few years ago and is now found on various nature reserves where horses roam freely.

Hourly checks through the night in hospital meant no sleep. Pain relief was not well controlled either, so I'm feeling pretty bushed today. My tummy feels like it's been stabbed......which it has been! The great news is, I’m back home!

I can hear a little owl from my bed. First time in years.
Last night I gave a talk in which the local decline of little owls was tangentially mentioned. A few hours later, an 🦉 is pointing out I know nothing.
