Violet webcap (Cortinarius violaceus) growing under gorse today near the Devil’s Punchbowl in Surrey. An absolute stunner of a mushroom and nationally rare - it’s always good to see these beauties.

My father told me once one of the cows had a two headed calf before I was born. Born by cesarean it died or course. Crazy how things turn up in your feed that bring you right back sometimes MargaretπŸ‘

Ireland is nothing but a laggard and a hypocrite when it comes to environmental and ecological protections.
To think of us anything else is simply delusional.

It was surely possible to survey the approximate point below which the fish were killed and to record unaffected fish above that point. Local anglers will know this to the 10's of metresπŸ‘

Shocking indifference to catastrophic Blackwater pollution is a sign of the times The Blackwater fish kill is part ecological disaster, part culture war, part climate change confrontation and, worst of all, a gross denial of responsibility

The River Blackwater fish kill is one of the greatest environmental disasters in the history of the state. So where is the outrage? πŸ€”

Excellent article about this latest catastropheπŸ‘‡

The National Parks and Wildlife Service today completed the safe control and removal of the first Asian hornet nest from a site in Cork city. It has now been transported to Dublin and handed over to scientists at the National Museum of Ireland for analysis.

Hands Off Nature - BirdWatch Ireland Tell politicians how important nature is to you and stop the EU from tearing up the laws that protect birds and nature.

Pressure on #nature continues to intensify.
The EU commission proposes to weaken environmental laws further. Here is a chance to voice your concerns.
