This week's @artukdotorg.bsky.social #OnlineArtExchange celebrates wildlife! 🦋
We've chosen 'Aderyn y Bwn / Bittern' by Charles Frederick Tunnicliffe (1901–1979) - his detailed work provides us with important information about the ecology and the changing nature of our wildlife.

We're throwing it back to 1981 today with this photograph, which shows when miners from Denby Grange Colliery broke through to the Caphouse workings on 17 January. 💪🏁
This linked up the workings underground and gave another form of egress from both mines.
