Had a quick visit to The Society of Wildlife Artists Annual Exhibition this afternoon!
Always obsessed with the ceramics on show, but was rather enamoured by a lovely oil painting of a razorbill this year.

really hate that MS Teams censors the word 'homo' in its transcripts, and I would love to know what other words it deems "profane"

Awarded for their poignant picture of a longhorn beetle seemingly watching the destruction of its own forest. Or maybe the beetle is a symbol of resilience, surviving against all the odds 📸🧪🪲
