A drystone wall isn't one habitat, it's several, stacked vertically. Each zone has its own microclimate and its own community of species. Taking down a wall is an education in this. Also, occasionally, a surprise toad situation.

This week's Drystone Diary is about the fauna of the wall, from stonechats on the cope stones to adders in the foundations.

Hello everyone! Time for an #Introduction.

I'm Rochelle Potkar, a writer and poet from Mumbai, India.

I write literary fiction, poetry, haibun, and stories for the screen. My recent novels range from the satirical family comedy 'The D'Costa Family' to the social drama 'The Fabric Goddesses. I'm now back at my desk with bitter coffee and a new literary thriller.

I'm looking forward to meeting curious creative minds here.
