Sad, but beautiful. I found this gorgeous dragonfly that had got stuck in a ceiling window. Wondering if I can preserve it some how....

I love spotting fungi when out and about, then trying to identify them.

Absolutely not an expert, but I think:
- Photo 1/2: strict coral mushroom
- Photo 3/4: sulphur tuft or clustered woodlover

This tree in Chichester stood out to me. It's clearly had trauma, but is slowly regrowing. I stood for a few moments, quietly impressed by its tenacity.

Making the most of the sunshine, just before sunset, there were lots of these common lizards along the sea cliffs. Fascinating to observe!

Taken in 2021, but worth sharing. A rare sunny October day in The Lake District.

A few days ago I stumbled across this nest on a nest box. Think it was European hornets, but some further research (from a safe distance) is needed!

One of my summer highlights from the garden was meeting the Puss Moth caterpillar! Complete with big, dramatic eyespots and twin tail-like flagellae to wave in warning, it can spray formic acid from its mouth to deter attackers.

Nature never ceases to amaze. 🐛✨

Found this toad stuck in a drain, clearly there for some time. Hopefully with hydration, food and some time, "Pickle" will make a full recovery.
