Great display. It reminded me of this photo in a Collins Guide to Wild Life in the Home. The understated caption reads 'A single fly at the breakfast table may be tolerated, but there are rather too many here.'

Sheep at South Swale Nature Reserve have stopped working for Christmas. Or perhaps just sheltering below the sea wall from fresh north-easterlies! @kentwildlife.bsky.social

I've just finished reading the New Naturalist series 'Ponds, Pools and Puddles'. Brilliant. Up to date research. Evidence based information. And joy of joys, plenty of pre and post management monitoring! Add it to your Christmas present list.
