Only 9 hours until #NewYearPlantHunt starts!
Have you planned your Hunt yet? You could hunt with friends & family, go solo (enjoy some quiet time!) or join one of these group hunts: bsbi.org/new-year-pla...
Main thing is to enjoy hunting for/recording wild & naturalised plants blooming in midwinter.

In my first reported essay I visit the two hotels—once sanatoriums—that inspired Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain to explore what has changed and what remains the same 100 years after its publication.
Enjoy! Preferably with a glass of port

Tonight, the Woodcock Moon rises. 🌕
Folklore whispers of Woodcocks awaiting this moonlit night to cross the seas and arrive in huge numbers on our shores.
It was believed tiny Goldcrests journeyed with them—riding on their backs!
Look up for the final Supermoon of the year.
