At its heart, The Peculiar Path is a map of Haunted places and as I’ve recently been bringing the archive online and updating the website, there’s been a lot to consider about how to best organise …
There's one noted at Shap Services on the M6: www.openstreetmap.org/node/1308458...
I suspect they're quite new as the #OpenStreetMap community tends to spot things like this.
Haven't seen any in past 3 weeks: a couple in courtship flight at Barnack.
I usually catch ovipositing females on a nearby Alder Buckthorn around now.
Wasn't aware of this species. Had a look last night and think I've found an early mine. Location as in username.
Portico Library worth a visit too. They do coffee and lunch IIRC.

Exactly so, present on various spp. of cherry "cherry glands", but not all Prunus (although I vaguely recall Stuart Roberts mentioning bees visiting extra-floral nectaries on the leaves of Cherrylaurel P. laurocerasus)
I suspect much of the body of the letter would also apply to initial releases of Land Registry Prices Paid data. I was very sceptical that these represented data cleansed or enhanced using the OSGB/Geoplace gazeteer.
I never found a nice way of visualising the many discrepancies in that data.
I just kick the seed heads about before finally mowing them. Spreads the seeds adequately.
Speed with which Yellow Rattle becomes established seems rather variable. Front lawn took off quickly, whereas back lawn was very slow.

Long been fascinated by Paul de Kock en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles...
IIRC Lionel Bloom picks up one of his novels from a barrow, and a character in a Dostoyevsky novel (Devils/Possessed or The Idiot) is reading one.
Joyce's
reference might be arcane rather than just to contemporary culture.
Issue was acquired by Bending Spoons, an Italian firm which specialises in 'extracting value' from web apps (usually, by firing all the developers and increasing fees): www.eu-startups.com/2024/07/mila...
If you've previously published the Internet Archive isn't a bad place.
