Just listening to LBC... Suella Braverman is so thick that she just told a caller that Italy had solved immigration problems by building a wall along their border with Turkey. Heaven help us 🤦♂️

At last, Veldgids Paardenbloemen, Handbook Dandelions, is coming in spring 2025.
Together with Erik van den Ham, we worked for several years to prepare this new Taraxacum flora for the Netherlands, Belgium and adjacent Germany.

After only managing to get brief views earlier in the trip, we decided to try again for the incredible Marvelous Spatuletail. We were not disappointed. One of the worlds best Hummingbirds

I was very sorry to learn today that Bristol Birder and keen lister Jack Willmott died last week. The last time I saw Jack was at the Brunnich's Guillemot twitch, Portland Harbour December 2013 although that wasn't a bird Jack needed. Always enjoyed meeting him for a chat.
RIP.
Found a cracking Clathrus archeri Devil's fingers today at Dolebury Warren Somerset. Thanks for the grassland fungi recommendation @davidjgibbs6

This report from the BBC is truly jaw dropping. South West has been pumping raw sewage into our rivers onto our beaches when it is not raining - which is illegal - on an industrial scale. What’s worse, they’ve been doing it at some of our most precious nature spots. (1/3)
Lovely display of broomrape Orobanche coerulescens (and Bedstraw broomrape O caryophyllacea) at @OBGHA #OxfordBotanicGarden and there's a fab Ivy broomrape O hederae next to the bins at the cafe! #broomrape
Here are four endemic dandelions seen on mainland Shetland this week Taraxacum hirsutissimum, chrysoglossum, luteum and palmeri. Still got a few more to find #taraxacum #shetland @bsbi #WildflowerHour
The endemic Doward hawkweed Hieracium dowardense almost flowering today near King Arthur's Cave Symonds Yat #Hawkweed @BSBIbotany
Spent the morning at Kilnsea. Here's Taraxacum fulviforme lacking pollen and characteristic leaf shape as well as a phone scope shot of the Collared flycatcher
