  1. Inky Mushroom (Agaricus moelleri) at Bath City Farm #Bath #Somerset #UK. These are found in most years under the Beeches in the wood on the farm and are fairly common in other woods around Bath, usually in small groups.

  2. Collared Earthstar (Geastrum triplex) in #Bath #Somerset #UK. These come up in the same spot in most years. The spore sac releases a small puff of spores whenever a raindrop hits the sac

  4. My #Robin friend Henry taking a bath this evening. It's still very dry, so I've been leaving a tub of water out for him. He has been missing for the past couple of days, but returned this evening.

  5. My #Robin friend Henry this morning. He's in the middle of his summer moult & looking very scruffy. He spends most of his time in his hedge, coming out only for food. He's also very quiet. In a few weeks, he'll have new feathers & start singing again. In #Bath #Somerset #UK

    I was lucky enough to be able to watch this butterfly close-up for about half an hour, as it went from flower to flower.

  11. On my recent trip to the City of Bath I saw this painting. It was found in the stores of the Holburne Museum in Bath and was identified as being by the Flemish artist Pieter Brueghel the Younger.

    The painting, titled ‘Wedding Dance in the Open Air’ was previously thought to be the work of a copyist or follower, but it has been dated to 1607-14 and is now on permanent display.
