After having a page on Instagram for a while I finally got round to taking it multi-platform.

From here I will try to being you pictures of our local wildlife in its natural setting

"Ladybird on white"
It's ladybird season at Woodside!
The sound is akin to light rain from the sheer volume of them that are hitting the window this evening

Poorly blackbird hen 😢
I had no choice but to handle her briefly so that I could put her somewhere a little safer
Just hope she makes it through the night 🤞🤞🤞

Why would anyone not care about reducing and rewinding the damage we have done to this planet

Long tailed tit chicks lining up for dinner time
They make a subtle chattering noise when they bunch together

A quick slow motion video of the great t**s nesting in one of the house grates

For an idea of just how fast they hit the hole (which is mere millimetres bigger than they are) I have decreased the video speed by 90%

I also love how they have a distinct entrance and exit hole

There's GOLD in them there hills!!

So on Saturday afternoon I went for a wander over the Malvern hills and picked up this small piece of pegmatite (yes I had to look it up too),

Pegmatite is a type of extreme igneous rock formed by slow crystallization at high temperatures and high pressure at depth, exhibiting large interlocking crystals.

what initially attracted me to it was the composition of quartz crystals in its centre.

I thought nothing more of it until I put it under some white light today and discovered a tiny fragment of gold deposited in it (pic 3).

This particular type of rock (at least at this location) has been dated at approximately 670 million years old (cryogenian period or the worst ice age known to have happened on earth).....which excites me possibly a little too much!!

The orange tip
Anthocharis cardimines

Only the males actually have orange tipped wings! The females have black tips like the males but no orange.

Population levels are not known to be under threat so their conservation priority status is: Low

Harmonia axyridis (ladybird)

He/she definitely waved at their own reflection in the camera lens before getting bored and flying away

Pulmonaria officianalis
'common lungwort'

I always look forward to the spring arrival of these tiny flowers.
The first plant I ever successfully propagated from a cutting was a pulmonaria, it was a real easy one to take root and I've loved it ever since.
