Shock and awe on the Sauveplaine | an entangled bank
https://anentangledbank.wordpress.com/2013/05/25/shock-and-awe-on-the-sauveplaine
What is it about orchids? Been there, dune that →. May 25, 2013 · 4:09 pm. Shock and awe on the Sauveplaine. I’ve just had what will probably be my botanical experience of the year. I know this sentence, which is meant to be puffed up into a superlative, has its own deflating word, and that’s ‘botanical’, rather than, say, ‘spiritual’, but maybe there was some of that, too. Friends here have told me before that to see spring flowers, I should go to the Sauveplaine. A field of viper’s bugloss. Thus have t...

Newer posts →. October 18, 2013 · 5:16 pm. The she-devil who helps you breathe: Sacred thornapple ( Datura wrightii). Bush of Datura wrightii on waste ground. This plant has a long story to tell, connecting Culpeper, Linnaeus, Charles Darwin and Carlos Castaneda, via shamans, drug users and asthmatics. Its powerful presence in the history of botany and herbalism is due to the tropane alkaloids it contains: atropine, hyoscyamine and scopolamine, which inhibit certain nerve pathways. At first I thought it ...

Heart failure doesn’t mean what you think. | The chaotic life of the toad
https://thecutecraftytoad.wordpress.com/2015/10/21/heart-failure-doesnt-mean-what-you-think
The chaotic life of the toad. Striving for a peaceful life. Heart failure doesn’t mean what you think. October 21, 2015. It’s official, I have heart failure. However as I’m finding out this doesn’t mean my heart is fail. It’s all about balance. Lately there hasn’t been much of that. Maybe this is the time to sit back and assess the situation. Time for a cunning plan. Tags: British heart foundation. 2 thoughts on “ Heart failure doesn’t mean what you think. October 21, 2015 at 6:49 pm. Liked by 1 person.

Size isn’t everything – Iris lutescens. Say Man →. April 26, 2015 · 8:20 pm. It’s the position I have to adopt to take pictures of what’s going on up on the. At the moment. I wrote about my discovery of this area here. I wasn’t the only one appreciating these miniature bouquets – I had to be careful not to pick bees at the same time. Bee on thyme flower. I know there are many species of bee, and maybe some kind person, say Morgan from the wonderful blog The Reremouse. Of which there was quite a colony.

Notes from the Doorstep: Emperor Moth
http://doorstepbirding.blogspot.com/2015/04/emperor-moth.html
Notes from the Doorstep. Notes and pictures from my local nature records. Sunday, 19 April 2015. I've been trying to see these amazing moths for a few years now, but timing and conditions coupled with their elusiveness have prevented an encounter. Yesterday, although very breezy, I managed a couple of all to brief encounters, but as the record shot shows, it was worth the wait to see these stunning looking creatures. 19 April 2015 at 09:06. 19 April 2015 at 09:23. Stunners arent they. :). Encouraging Ott...

Notes from the Doorstep. Notes and pictures from my local nature records. Monday, 20 July 2015. Couple of nice Flies for the patch list. Here's a Conopid, or Thick Headed Fly from the patch. Once you discover their dastardly tricks, you cannot help but become intrigued by them. On Burdock there were plenty of the Picture Winged gall causing fly Terrellia tussilaginis.

Notes from the Doorstep: April 2014
http://doorstepbirding.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Notes from the Doorstep. Notes and pictures from my local nature records. Monday, 21 April 2014. Redstart a great start to the weekend. Having identified a little bit of the patch as a potentially good spot for picking up a migrant or two, I was more than very pleased with myself when it did just that at the start to the Easter break. Whilst scanning the hedge line out popped a stonking male Redstart. Now while all this was going on, a few yards away a Wheatea. The first Speckled Woods. Finally the plant...

Notes from the Doorstep. Notes and pictures from my local nature records. Saturday, 8 November 2014. The regularity of postings has diminished, but I've not finished blogging. Quite simply, there are not enough hours to live, work and play .and blog. So I hope you will keep dropping by and appreciate quality rather than quantity. Here are the highlights from my patch since the last posting. Small Scallop, Maidens Blush. And Heart and Dart. On 23rd August. Hobby. On the patch, at last! 20 species recorded...
