  1. This one should be out right now. It’s called Early Nancy - and lives up to its name. That flower is only 1 cm across - so easily missed - keep a sharp eye open!

  3. Hybrid of Violet and Broad-leaved Helleborine (Epipactis × schulzei). This is the only one of its kind to have flowered in North Somerset this year. It's looking much healthier than last year, when it only produced two very small and sickly-looking flowers.
    I'll hopefully be back soon to see the Violet Helleborines at this site, which were on the verge of flowering on my last visit.

  5. Another early Spring/late Winter flower which may already be in bloom. It's Correa Reflexa, which usually has green flowers, but a local variation around Melbourne produces these pretty red flowers.

    I've never seen this particular wildflower before, I only know the short version as a weed in gardens.
    This one is Great Hairy Willow Herb

  12. Here’s the 8th page of my new art project, an Illustrated Journal—my art & notes celebrating the little things in everyday life, like watching the ISS, counting chrysalises & seeing Raccoon tracks! See more on my blog post paulaborchardt.substack.com/p/

  14. #UK - How #WildlifeCorridors Are Helping Animals Survive In #Urban Areas

    By Sarah Whitmore / 20 May 2025

    Excerpt: "How animals actually use these corridors

    "Let’s take #hedgehogs. Urban hedgehog populations are declining sharply — partly because their ability to roam has been limited by garden fences, walls, and roads. A hedgehog might need to travel over a kilometre in a single night to find enough food and a mate. The Hedgehog Street campaign has shown that something as simple as a 13 cm hole in a garden fence can turn a neighbourhood into a habitat network.

    "#Bats, which are legally protected in the UK, rely on uninterrupted linear features like tree rows and waterways to navigate. When gaps appear in these features — from tree removal, #LightPollution, or #development — their movement is disrupted. Creating corridors that link #roosting sites with feeding grounds can dramatically increase their chances of survival.

    "#Amphibians, especially species like common toads, face seasonal danger when crossing roads to reach breeding ponds. #UnderRoadTunnels and #AmphibianFriendly #drainage routes, used in projects supported by organisations like #Froglife, have proven successful at reducing #roadkill and supporting local populations.

    "#Pollinators like #bees and #butterflies also benefit immensely from corridors. Isolated #wildflower patches can’t support long-distance foraging. But when these patches are linked — even via #roadside verges or #SchoolGardens — insects can move more freely and establish healthier, more resilient populations."
