The sun has risen at the Charterhouse as the touring art installation Helios arrives in Coventry.

Good morning ☕️
Close up of a gorgeous bunch of Common Tansy, sometimes called golden buttons, which are not yet quite in full flower, seen here with Soldier Beetles 🪲 I absolutely love their vibrant colour when they are in full bloom 🥰

Here's some news to celebrate.

The female reed warbler, like the male, is a modestly plumaged bird—warm brown above with paler buff underparts, a pale throat, and a faint stripe in front of the eye.
