Look at this handsome monster Brown Trout in a glorious sun spun pool of the River Wissey, the biggest of many big #fish I met there Friday before last. King of the River. King of a favourite river.

Day 18 of #30DaysWild

#DriveByBotany of #PavementPlants

Met friend for tea & errands.
On the way home, I drive up a short stretch of suburban road with an abundance of pavement plants, some of which are native. I saw:

Feverfew
Evening Primrose
(on the sunny side)

Convolvulus
Field convolvulus *
Campanula poscharskyana
Hawkbit spp
(on the shady side)

* Instead of roughly even radial stripes of pale pink & white, this was mostly a vivid sugar pink.

Day 17 of #30DaysWild

Did a load of laundry & hung it up outside, feeling the breeze on my skin & listening to it rustle the leaves on the trees.

Checked on my raised bed: the rosemary has grown, the chives are looking less dead. Society garlic has 2 flower buds :)

Day 16 of #30DaysWild

Drove the same route of 10 miles to visit & help Mum as previous #DriveByBotany.

In addition to those previously listed:

Ragwort
Green alkanet
Chicory (a favourite) (Cichorium intybus)
Buttercup spp
Ladies' Bedstraw (Galium verum)
Toadflax aka Butter & Eggs
True Valerian
... best of all, I drove along an avenue of linden trees in flower and the scent was heavenly:)

Day 13 of #30DaysWild

Drove out to an art show by a collective of local artists in an historic farm barn.

Greatly enjoyed the (barn) swallows flying in through the open doors, flying up to their mud nests on the high rafters and feeding their young. Much twittering and both indoors & outdoor aerobatics :)

Finally put the pasta bowl on the patio & filled it with water for wildlife. Added a smooth brick pebble to create an island for insects to land & drink :)

Day 11 of #30DaysWild

Birding while out running errands:

Mallard duck flypast;
Male blackbird pulling worms then flying off with a beakful, presumably back to the nest;
Loads of slowly circling Red Kites;
Goldfinch twittery song twice;
Explosive wren song across the supermarket car park;
Couple of passing herring gulls.

All I did was look & listen out while doing weekly routine stuff.

Day 10 of #30DaysWild

Feeling better after a few days of bleurgh, I thought I'd catch the dusk chorus.

Sitting by the best window for this, nothing but magpies having a free and frank exchange of views. Oh, and the mew of a passing herring gull before the magpies resume their altercation.

Twenty days remain to catch the sweet song of the summer warblers.

Day 5 of #30DaysWild and I felt shivery & bleurgh.

Showed willing & selected the least pristine ceramic pasta bowl.

This will henceforth live outside on the patio as the dedicated wildlife water bowl.

I'll put my two favourite pebbles in, to form rocky islands for #insects to land and drink more easily.

Day 4 of #30DaysWild

Much weather of all kinds bar snow.
A 'Four Seasons in One Day' according to Crowded House.

I drove to visit a friend who introduced me to gaming. He was playing 'Grounded', a science-nature explorer aimed at teens. The premise is a teen reduced to ant-size: survival & adventure in a back garden.

I described the anatomy of a weevil, agreeing the rostrum is indeed a "snootey-mouth thing".

Day 3 of #30DaysWild

I had a wakeful night, so I decided to enjoy the dawn chorus. I think my local birds had called in sick:

A tetchy (European) robin, ticking not singing;
A distant blackbird;
A passing herring gull.

No matter, I thought, there's always the dusk chorus:

One blackcap.
Ho hum.

Day 2 of #30DaysWild

Before I got up, I was treated to the original sound & light show: a thunderstorm ⛈️
I never had the opportunity to learn much science other than biology, so I brushed up on a simple explanation of how they form.
Lightning is seriously fucking hot: it can heat the air to 10,000°C!
