It's #BiodiversityWeek & we’re doing ‘No Mow May’ again, we’re on the lookout for the rare orchid! We’ve found a few new mushrooms, we see lots of Daisies and Hawkbit, and a new flower we’re adding to the list found at Botany this year is Cinquefoil.

- for the second month in a row, renewable generation exceeded that of fossil fuels (1.533TWh, or 42.6% of demand)
