Replying to @thenewgalaxy
@thenewgalaxy we are currently in Provence and have just spotted this, clearly it’s gone over now but being an expert I thought you might be able to identify? I don’t have my book with me I’m afraid!

Think is probably Himantoglossum robertianum giant orchid?

Just submitted a big, stage 1 grant to the NIHR on Long Lyme/Chronic Lyme. Lets see how if goes down! Nice project, assessing long term antibiotic treatments, exploring new and emerging diagnostics, the microbiome and a nice MRI component.#lyme #pwME @PandasPans

I’d love to know what this bird is that we heard in the woods this morning. I’m guessing a thrush? #birding #birdindentification @RSPBEngland

It lifts my heart to find something so beautiful and perfect in my moth trap in the morning! Large Emerald. Awesome @ukbutterflies @glosmoths @BritishMoths

He isn't black, and I dont want to steer the conversation away from what's happening right now, but as a brown person he has had a lifetime of being called a terrorist. This is everyones problem. Black people shouldn't have to explain why we should be angry.

First excitement of the day this lovely privet hawkmoth in my trap followed by my first sightings this year of common spotted and fragrant orchids on this morning’s walk 😍🦋🌱 @ukbutterflies @glosmoths @gloswildlife
So #DominicCummngs would have happily put his 17 year old niece in danger to look after his child. Absolutely shocking.

A few fascinating moths I’ve recently found in my new moth trap for #UKLepidopteraWeekend. Buff tip, poplar hawk moth and lime hawkmoth. I think the buff tip is my fave, it really is just like a twig!

Greater butterfly orchid spotted today! Earliest I’ve seen yet. It’s a beauty 😍🌱
Went up to Swifts Hill to revisit the fly orchid I found last year and sadly found it broken and the top lying on the ground nearby. Hopefully better luck next year @twinrope @duncan_dine
