Brush Rabbits (Sylvilagus bachmani) have some clever tricks for staying safe. They can sit motionless for ages, but when danger strikes, they dart away in a zigzag at 20–25 mph.
Saltgrass (Distichlis spicata) is highly salt-tolerant, excreting excess salts onto its leaves and stems. It often forms dense stands, sometimes spreading clonally.

For July’s ‘Nature’ theme we at EYA approached Rebecca Keddie, Assistant Archivist at the Natural History Museum, to find out what specimens The NHM holds tucked away in the archives. What follows is a wide and panoramic account touching on various intriguing aspects of the archive collections.
Morning all,
I wish you all a happy Monday.
A shot of a beautiful little Robin for todays image, the local nature reserve has many of these at this time of year, and they are all fearless, happy to get really close.
