Amateur naturalist, 🚴🏽fan. Phone photos, mostly of making my garden a wildlife sanctuary - nature shouldn’t just be visited in reserves

The exhibition all finished. There’s a bit of sadness when selling paintings, as well as the pleasure, having lived with these moffs for a while. They looked good in their vintage frames though. All in all a successful exhibition and lots of people learned more about moths!

On the Heath this afternoon, gorse & bell heather still soldiering-on despite the frosts & hail; and in the woods, spectacular eruptions of crimped gill

Unexpected late #ichneumon yesterday - much smaller than amblyjoppa, but uniformly black apart from white antennae bands and thorax spot

Perhaps two more #greenhouse #tomato harvests after today’s from the hanging baskets and border toms - most of latter now removed to avoid blight.
Unripe green tomatoes = spicy autumn dishes!

Artist’s bracket, sulphur tuft, velvet shank and honey fungus - latter having so far killed in my garden a victoria plum, greengage, (admittedly old) silver birch, and is busily killing a privet hedge 😠

After more book and online agonising, shaggy parosol, tawny funnel, the disparagingly-named and often unnoticed ugly milk cap, and what seems to be false death cap. Might be wrong!

Today’s only moderately ludicrous culinary project: having deliberately dessicated chestnut mushrooms in the fridge’s ‘crisper’ draw for weeks, now slicing them into an empty spice jar as a reserve when I (it happens 🙄) run out of mushrooms.
Must say, they smell great!

Common plume in the garden this afternoon, on the inside of a greenhouse roof pane in need of rainwater sluicing on the outside

... this is an inexcusable abrogation of corporate responsibility, and mocks MS’s claimed ‘green’ credentials. These are carefully engineered products filled with rare-earth minerals and capable of service for many years - if MS was actually interested in sustainability rather than new products.

I have two perfectly functional (2007 & 2015 vintages, with SSD replacements) Windows 10 laptops. Excellent for browsing, writing, obsessing over garden wildlife species lists, etc.
Tomorrow, in an ongoing celebration of our shallow consumerist society, Windows 10 support will be withdrawn ...
