I'm getting a bit fed-up with endless dull, dreary, damp days whenever I can get to @bbowt.bsky.social Dancersend but have to admit that at this time of the year it is the dark, damp, weedy corners of the reserve where the jewels are. Thank goodness for snowdrops, Scarlet Elf-cups and slime moulds!

It's arrived! Pan-species Listing: How to Become a Super-Naturalist published by @pelagicpublishing. My first book.
I am so pleased with it. It looks amazing, all those photos of incredible British species really make this a very colourful book and a celebration of how fantastic our wildlife is.

It's a slime mould Craterium minutum found on dead leaves. This specimen has gone to Natural History Museum as it was missing from the collection they are building up for sequencing.

It was a very pretty drive down to @BBOWT
Dancersend Reserve for our Wednesday work party - still below freezing down in the Vale and the Chilterns showing up beyond Mentmore Towers. Clearing scrub and fallen trees from one of our most important grassy clearings soon warmed us up.

Finally made it here from Twitter. Hoping to find old friends and have a more civilised, respectful time. Here are recent photos from my world - Dancersend BBOWT reserve in Bucks, which is what I will be mostly posting about.
