Did I mention there was a Lesser Emperor #dragonfly at #Wiltshire #WildlifeTrust #LowerMoorFarm on Friday? Showing very nicely right in front of the cafe. I recommend the lemon drizzle cake. #insects #wildlife #wildlifephotography #odonata

Time for a #dragonfly photo. This is Brown Hawker which had been laying eggs and had just taken off. The first time I've managed to get a photo of this species in flight. At #Wiltshire #WildlifeTrust #LowerMoorFarm on Friday while I waited for the Lesser Emperor to show. #insects #wildlife #wildlifephotography #odonata

The #Wiltshire #WildlifeTrust reserve at #LowerMoorFarm. Come for the Lesser Emperor dragonfly, stay for the plants. This one's Cut-leaved Cranesbill. #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #plantscience #photography

A sort-of lifer: I'll have seen it loads of times without realising it was Western Gorse instead of the common species. At the #Devon #WildlifeTrust reserve #BystockPools on Monday. #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #plantscience #photography

Greater Knapweed. Finally found this species in #Wiltshire - I've looked at any number of knapweeds with ray florets which turned out to be the rayed form of either Common or Lesser. At #CloutsWood, a local #WildlifeTrust reserve. #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #plantscience #photography

Long-term followers may have noticed that I'm rather fond of thistles. This one is Welted Thistle, at #LowerMoorFarm #Wiltshire #WildlifeTrust reserve during the week. #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #plantscience #photography

It isn't truly high summer until I've seen my first White Admiral, which is my favourite #butterfly by quite a distance. I can confirm that as of yesterday it is now high summer. This one at the #Wiltshire #WildlifeTrust reserve #Ravensroost Woods. #insects #wildlife #wildlifephotography #odonata

Its always a red letter day when I see Goatsbeard in flower. Not that it's at all rare, just that it only flowers in the morning, closing up after just one morning per flower, and I'm really not a morning person. At

Nothing rare at the #Wiltshire #WildlifeTrust reserve at #LowerMoorFarm today, unless you count the Downy Emerald dragonfly that refused to pose for a photo, but several plants that were worth a close-up. Goosegrass, aka Cleavers (the fruits are very familiar, the flowers less so), Hedge Mustard, Silverweed and Cut-leaved Cranesbill. #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #plantscience #photography

I accidentally deleted the second half of my #Introduction so trying again-
"Occasional" pictures of #ducks sometimes days apart others several in a day. Mostly #mallards as they're most common locally and I mostly practice #LowCarbonBirding. I'm interested in #Ecology, #Birds, #Birdwatching, #Birding, #WildFowl

This is a real picture of #Spring with a #Blackcap perching on the new years growth. It was happy to stay and sing as long as no-one moved. Croxall Lakes Staffordshire.
