Amateur naturalist, 🚴🏽fan. Phone photos, mostly of making my garden a wildlife sanctuary - nature shouldn’t just be visited in reserves
Jeremy, I think you may be the only person I follow who has a favourite gravestone.

Against the increasingly ridiculous prices of essentially plastic-tub Robinson traps, sounds brilliant!
If you’re thinking of a niche business model alternative appealing to hardcore motherati, I support you!

Excellent, Mavis. In these fractured & polarising times it’s reassuring that outstanding artistic talent celebrating the natural world is still valued 👏🏻

Old School indeed!
Maybe comforting to think that in 200 years’ time researchers may be tracking historical trends by reading your faded writing; while others puzzle over long-dead ‘USBs’ and wonder how people could store data in those white billowy things overhead

Commiserations. I get attached to objects that have meant a lot to me over the years - eg bikes that carried me for thousands of kms - and my now ancient 18th birthday Zeiss 10x50s, still going after years of birding and capped by milk carton tops in my kitchen ready for instant garden deployment 🤓

Yes indeed. Lots of active ones, but some years ago my daughter-i-law found several upturned dead females outside their back door. No idea why
