Illustration of Pajanelia longifolia (named as Bignonia multijuga)  showing the flowers and leaves of the plant which has been cut off at the stem. Several branches of green leaves fan out from the stem above which are shown pale yellow flowers each with a delicate purple centre. The faint undersketch of a leaf can be seen in the upper right while three partially coloured fllower dissections can be seen on the right. Underneath the illustration to the left is written 'Wallich 1828 East Ind. Co.' which makes reference to Wallich's employer - The East India Company. Two different plant determinations are also written under the image identifying it as Pajanelia rheedii or Bignonia multijuga

Did you know Kew’s Library and Archives hold 7,000+ Indian illustrations? This vibrant Pajanelia longifolia piece by Vishnupersad - commissioned by Nathaniel Wallich - is now on show. Explore Flora Indica at the Shirley Sherwood Gallery through April 2026. #KewLA

I'm thrilled, I saw my first ever Ring Ouzel late this afternoon! πŸ˜€πŸ˜
It's amazing that this beauty turned up at RSPB Ham Wall in Somerset, as they usually only stop off on migration on high ground, such as The Mendip Hills.🐦
It put on a great show as it feasted on berries! 😍

Three white-tailed eagles fledge in Dorset and Sussex - BBC News Three white-tailed eagles fledge in the south of England as a result of a reintroduction programme.

Encouraging news on the journey toward the White-tailed Eagle’s recovery in England. Excellent work by various folks to get to this point, especially Roy Dennis Wildlife Foundation & Forestry England.

This Prom began as wish.

It’s been an incredible journey - one that led me (eventually!) to the @royalalberthall.bsky.social with London Contemporary Orchestra and Robert Ames, where we performed all three albums from start to finish.

Exciting news from Woodberry Wetlands!

Earlier this week a pair of avocets were spotted wading in the shallows of the reservoir - a first for the wetlands

The only other sighting we've had before this was a brief flyover - nearly 10 years ago!

Now, this year's chicks are honing their flying skills and preparing to migrate soon.

Rewilding isn't only about saving nature, but re-filling the world with beauty and loveliness.

We just need to allow it happen.

Great few hours birding at Normandy Marsh, Hampshire last week.

Stunning views of Curlew Sandpiper and Little Stint. Also Eider, Whimbrel, Bar-tailed Godwit, and great to see so many Avocet chicks! 🀩

Dandelion in sunlight

A dandelion's seed head, with its fine, fibrous bristles, acts as a diffraction grating, causing the pastel coloration seen in the seed head.

You can just see it if you look closely at this pic.

True to form, proud Dad Louis was soon sitting on it!
