Last year I thought I saw a newt larvae at the brownfield site near where I live but I wasn’t confident in my ID but tonight we finally saw some adults in the same location! They haven’t been recorded here before so of course I’ll submit my record.

Instead of tackling the long backlog of photos that need processing have this windy short video recorded yesterday for #FungiFriday

more photo's from last Wednesday (I'm working backwards it seems) from the warm afternoon in Memorial Park.

Signs of spring springing until it's sprung in the air. Or something.

Daffs (in the week of St David's Day, tree blossom and a bee on the move)

This time last week it was sunny and I spent an hour in the Memorial Park Willenhall. This was the park of my childhood.

This is the mossy selection from that warm afternoon.

Scarlet Elfcup's, puddles and moss. Just February 25m from the M6 (the UK's longest motorway). You don't need to travel to see nature, it's what you drive past, unseen, on your way to a 'nature destination'. Go and see your local nature first :)

First visit since November to a local spot. It's like a little rainforest but is completely enclosed by modernity and nothing is natural. The pool was made to top up a canal and the reason it's so sheltered and moist is the fact it's in the shade of a motorway. Nature isn't something we need to travel to visit, we are nature and it's all around us if you look.

Finally wrote up the muddy trip to Pendeford Mill Reserve on Monday. It's actually the first proper post on the site to have all it's images and meta-data (AuHD issues here I feel) Anyway, a write up of a muddy walk that claimed at least one soul (well sole) and led to my first almost in focus shot of a treecreeper.
