  1. Saw about half a dozen damselflies around my pond earlier today. Some red and some blue. No identification as they're too quick for me. A couple of pairs were flying around in tandem, then the male settled on a plant stem and brief copulation ensued.

    The big question is are damselfly larvae food for newt larvae (a good thing) or are newt larvae food for damselfly larvae (a bad thing).

    Yes, I have pro-newt bias.

  2. The Red Bridge at Fota

    A scarlet-railed bridge, a limestone arch, and a pond almost still enough to hand you a second bridge for free. I caught this one at Fota Wildlife Park, framed through a gap in the spring foliage, the fresh greens crowding in from both sides. The contrast is what pulls me in. Those b...

  3. The Red Bridge at Fota

    A scarlet-railed bridge, a limestone arch, and a pond almost still enough to hand you a second bridge for free. I caught this one at Fota Wildlife Park, framed through a gap in the spring foliage, the fresh greens crowding in from both sides. The contrast is what pulls me in. Those bold red posts and rails against the cool grey stonework and the soft greens all around, with the whole thing folded neatly into its own reflection on the water. There's a wire mesh tucked under the arch, […]

  9. Catching up: April 25 – May 21, 2026

    TL;DR: A few weeks of catch-up. First tattoo (Catsby in a vine of purple flowers). The backyard pond is done, and the raccoons and crows have already moved in. Built out the rest of the me-to-markdown family and an orchestrator that fans them out in one fetch — this post is the first dogfooded weeknote drafted from its output. The AI-coding bookmark pile this period was mostly variations on being tired.

  10. The bud for this one was over-eager and showed up weeks ago when we were still getting frosts, it’s making the most of it now though.

  15. I’ve been fighting the temptation to plant up my new pond on the advice of the Freshwater Habitats Trust to wait and see what turns up. Well the goat willow in the scrappy woodland next to my garden has laid the first claim en masse. I can’t let them take hold, the pond is way too small to support a willow population!

  21. The newts in my pond seem to be getting more frisky. This morning I saw about six wrapped around each other in a sort of writhing ball of newts. This evening three or four were chasing each other.
