This current UK weather seems to be really great for the funky woodland mushrooms.
I love the mushrooms that look like they're just enormous mouths shouting as they pop out of the tree trunk 😂 🍄

I feel like today is the sort of day where teeny weenie cutie pie little mushrooms sprouting on a cool fallen log will bring me a sprinkle of joy, so I am sharing them with you too. 🍄🧡

Some bees don’t just buzz—they bite the flower too! 🐝
By gripping the anthers, their buzz sends stronger vibrations that release more pollen.

I am just so in love with how amazing nature is when it just does its thing and we let it.
To get to see nature quietly being, can really soothe my soul.

I think anyone interviewing Farage should just ask him general knowledge questions about Clacton. Better to show viewers how he doesn't give a fuck about the people who voted for him than give him airtime to spout his nonsense.

The Planning Bill is back in Parliament today.‼️

From the start, it’s been controversial: risking damage to precious wildlife and habitats.

Peers reduced some of those risks.

Now MPs get to vote: keep those protections, or strip them out.

This will impact EVERYONE.

Combined with other anti-protest measures proposed like bans on face coverings, the Crime & Policing Bill will see the right to protest in the UK stripped to the bone.

Protest is fundamental to democracy. We must protect it.

Goldeneyes make a splash in today’s #AutumnArrivalSpotlight. 🎩

As they arrive from Scandinavia and Russia, look for their striking golden eyes and crisp black-and-white plumage on winter lakes.
