The finale of the great TV comedy show Blackadder goes Forth.
Back then I didn't expect one of the funniest programmes ever to end with a scene that makes me cry every time I see it.

Very unexpected little visitor to the ivy on Saturday morning - and seemed much larger than usual! The photobombing greenbottle is trying on butterfly-wings. A third generation this late in the year is apparently unusual, but could be a sign of our changing times.

The long awaited Curriculum Review is out today. There is a general aspiration to increase environment and climate change across the board but there are no specifics and no mention of the Natural History GCSE.
This is a wasted opportunity to move the agenda forwards.

Into November and it is exceptionally mild, with a few butterflies about, including this colourful comma seen by Sabina George in her garden. Also plenty of fungi in recent sighting by society members. See Snippets 142 on the website: wnhs.info
