Gool Peran Lowen! Happy St Piran’s Day! 🏴🏳️〓〓

Today we are sharing this beautifully coloured, illustrated postcard from the 1920s — part of the Perranzabuloe parish church collection — depicting the legendary arrival of St Piran in Cornwall.

Kernow bys vyken! 🖤🤍

A small mostly orange and brown (but with touches of white, black, blue and yellow) butterfly feeling on the many small white flowers of a winter heather. Not a great pic but it was clearly verty busy and had no patience with my nonsense.

My first live butterfly pic of the year, a small tortoiseshell taken on some white winter heather this lunchtime 😀

Saw quite a few Firecrests over the weekend in various locations in West Cornwall. Couldn't resist taking a picture of this one at Boscathnoe Res while dipping the Dusky.

A Comma butterfly basking on a fallen Oak leaf. Its ragged-edged wings are bright orange with black spots.

A Peacock butterfly basking on the ground. Each of its red wings has an iridescent eyespot.

Yay! My first Commas of the year and a pair of sparring Peacocks on my wander around Penryn Campus this afternoon.

Cornwall Butterfly Conservation volunteers clearing Buddleia from around a mine engine house.

Before: Buddleia, Sallow and Bramble encroaching into sparsely vegetated, short grassland surrounding a mine engine house.

After: Buddleia, Sallow and Bramble have been cleared from around the engine house to expand the area of grassland.

Last Monday was Cornwall Butterfly Conservation's final work party of the winter. We were clearing Buddleia and scrub at Cook's Kitchen (South Crofty Mine) to restore habitat for Dingy Skipper. This active mine is currently the only confirmed site for Dingy Skipper within the Camborne-Redruth area.

I'm thoroughly enjoying The Wild Gardener on BBC2. Highly recommend if you enjoy a gentle programme with lovely photography of the natural world 🌱

With all the crap goings on in the world, here's a picture of Irene the hoglet. Admitted last October to the local charity hedgehog rescue centre in Porthleven Cornwall, she's just woken up from hibernation.

LONDON (AP) — Police say former UK ambassador Peter Mandelson arrested in misconduct probe over his ties with Jeffrey Epstein.

Only saving grace is that I wasn't like friends and relatives who paid zillions of pounds to actually be there.

Sorry I was still recovering from the defeat 🙄

I didn't think anything could have been worse than last week 🙄

Thank you. One of the Double Ellen series.

Another of the Double Ellen Hellebores. I bought 10 tiny plugs for £10 years ago so there's a few dotted around the garden. I forget how fabulous they are until they suddenly reappear. They do love the rain and acidic soil here in #Cornwall #nature

The Moon at Sunset tonight. Cornwall UK. Moving towards First Quarter. Ashamed to say that although a constant companion for my lifetime, I never really took much notice or followed it's track until I invested in that Almanac. Taken from my back doorstep. #nature #Cornwall #sunset #moon #sky

Great to see a bit of blue sky today even though it didn't last long.

Just spotted my first American robin of the 2026 season. Although there's not much food available for them in Nova Scotia as we are still covered in deep snow!

Look for the reward in all that rain. #camellia #Cornwall #kernow #gardening #flowers ##bloomscrolling🌱

After all that replanting with drought tolerant plants 🙄 #Cornwall #climatechange #gardening #gardeners #challenge🌱

The Redwing, one of the strongest of bathers at the #weedypond

So looking forward to this.
