When we bought our house last June, I was aware that one of the trees in the garden was a Hawthorn. So I was expecting a nice display of the white this June, but have been pleasantly surprised it is a red variety. I’m sure the bees will still love it.
One thing I noticed whilst walking around the Abu Dhabi Natural History Museum - they have this little tardigrade models dotted across the site. I’m sure it’s some type of challenge aimed at children - so will be sure to look into it more on my next visit
Just been gifted by a friend “The Book of Barely Imagined Beings” by @casparhenderson.bsky.social Looking forward to a full geek out
From the photo my wife has sent me of the wild section of my garden, it looks like I am going to have a busy week on my sojourn back to the UK from Abu Dhabi. That hogweed needs thinning out a fair bit to let the other wildflowers have a chance to break through.
Found this great little predatory fly in my garden when I was back in the UK the other week. Not a common sighting as they normally spend their time in tree canopies. Xanthostigma xanthostigma (Small Snakefly)
The thing with living in the Cotswolds is that when rooting around in the garden you can unearth stones with fossilised creatures. But then again walls of my house are also full of sea creature fossils.
A lovely surprise from my wife - a first edition Book of Spiders by W. S. Bristowe. This book is nearly 70 years old and is in great condition - I feel a great responsibility to keep it that way.

The Purple Emperor is one of the 60 beautiful butterflies found across the UK. Will it be Britain's Favourite Butterfly?
