@littleramstudio.bsky.social Thank you for the speedy and carefully wrapped delivery of this beautiful piece especially under current circumstances. Really appreciated. Will photograph in daylight as photo doesn’t capture its beauty. One of my favourite things to photograph.

#Lichen growing on an old stone wall on a South Wales mountain. Found it last year and so pleased to see it again today. Would love to know what it is. #LichenWales #LichenUK

One solitary Bee Orchid caused me to gasp when I found it. Tucked amongst a bank of weeds on a busy mountain lane where the iron works and coal mining had ripped the earth apart . Never seen them before. #Wildflowerhour #FavouriteFind @wildflowerhour.bsky.social

Thank you for naming this. I found some in August and thought it was a gall, but that was my limit.

Moved the pots off the windowsill to clean the glass and this beautiful, female Oak Bush-Cricket arrived. #OakBushCricket

Too late to look for Waxcaps so short walk around the Blorenge after sunset. #BannauBrycheiniog

We have some good waxcap areas on the mountainsides. Went out this week to see what we could find. Downloaded the app and will report! #BannauBrycheiniog
