Can healthy rivers exist without healthy wetlands? 🌱🌊
Wetlands are among the UK’s most powerful natural allies in supporting healthy rivers.
They’re under threat, but restoration IS possible.

Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet."

"Rhomaleosaur, rhomaleosaur! wherefore art thou rhomaleosaur?"
Just been to see this and very enjoyable it was too, although I don't think I'm familiar enough with Shakespeare to have got many of the in-jokes, but at least I know my palaeontology.

🤍🌱🤍Snowdrops symbolise hope and the promise of Spring. In Herefordshire, bunches would be brought indoors at Candlemas to purify and protect the household - but bringing in a single bloom was said to be unlucky, or even a portent of death.

Guallipén/ Huaillepenyi (sheep calf) is a monster from Mapuche mythology in Chile & Argentina. She looks like a ewe with a calf’s head and a seal’s tail. She causes deformities in babies & lurks on the banks of rivers & sea shores and leaps out, frightening people.

The apparition of an elderly woman who moved silently, face averted, was reputed to walk the corridors of Warwick Castle, . In his autobiography Francis Earl of Warwick (1853-1924), mentioned his wife had twice seen the ghost.

Winter is prime time for barn owls, keep an eye out at dusk for the best chance of spotting them. 🦉

A clergyman was once bothered in his chamber by the #ghost of one of his host's ancestors - who had been a notorious miser. He presents the ghost with a list of subscribers to a local charity, pointing out that as a long-term resident, he ought to pay up too. This frightens it off!

St Edmund was decapitated by the dastardly Danes. After a search, his followers found the head between the paws of a wolf, shouting ”Here! Here! Here!” (The head was shouting, not the wolf…that was probably just making some wolf noises… ) Anyway here it is depicted below

Pamola is a wintry figure of the American Northeast, bird-like and terrible. With the head of a moose, body of a man, and wings of an eagle, he was said to live on Maine's tallest peak, Katahdin, and his wrath invited snowstorms. He could be reasoned with. #LegendaryWednesday

According to a Flemish folktale, a woman was followed by a ghost while she walked home late at night. The ghost had a skull instead of a head and a white beard. Overnight, a huge tree grew in front of her door. It had to be cut down because nobody could enter or leave.

I'd completely forgotten that this appears in Shakespeare.
I guess it was that era's equivalent of a meme.
"Sometime a horse I’ll be, sometime a hound,
A hog, a headless bear, sometime a fire"

#WyrdWednesday In 1584, in Somerset, Margaret Cooper was possessed by the Devil and took to her bed. One night after weeks of torment a phantom headless bear materialised in her room, grabbed her, shoved her head between her legs and rolled her round like a hoop for 15 minutes.
