Profile pic by my talented kid. I'm sure she'd take commissions :)
More herring gulls from Whitstable, UK. Lots of flapping about, landing, taking off and landing again. Free seaside entertainment and not a chip stolen! #wildlife #nature #birds #photography
Herring gull, Whitstable, Kent, UK. Considered to be the bane of the English seaside but I quite like them - intelligent, adaptable birds #nature #photography #birds
Bird reserves are also great for plants! A few from @RSPB Rainham Marshes - common teasel, wild carrot flower head, composite of some sort (forgot to look at the leaves!) and bulrush that’s exploded #nature #botany #Macrophotography
Male and female ruddy darters. Gorgeous dragonflies that love to pose :) These two were seen (amongst loads of other dragonflies and damselflies) at @RSPB Rainham marshes this weekend #odonata #nature #invertebrates
Brunch prep was interrupted by this gorgeous beast. Vulpes Vulpes, red fox, London #urbanwildlifephotography #nature #foxes
Jerome GBeautiful male Southern Hawker (Aeshna cyanea) just hanging out :) Becoming more common across England and Scotland #invertebrates #urbanwildlife #nature
Phun with phytos!
A few thousand years ago, there was a little flowering plant near a small tell site in Iraq, and it left this really cool clue behind - evidence that it once lived :)) This is a multi-branched trichome phytolith, basically hair cells. This one may come from the Asteraceae (daisy) family (maybe maybe, still researching this one!), so one of some 32,000+ species 😳
