Old but gold! This is one of my all-time favourite images a single shot from a night shoot near home. Looks like a fisherman's haul, but it's actually seeds caught in a spiderweb on a canal bridge #Photography #Nightshoot #Nature #Glasgow #Hamiltonhill #Spiderweb #Canal #seeds

I love #wildflower orchids but donโt know much about them - after commenting here, was helpfully given a great book recommendation (thank you @StevePa46290725๐). Just look at this great field guide by @BSBIbotany - informative and beautiful!

Almost 36 years & maybe a mile apart ~ the New Hythe Yellow Warbler is almost within shouting distance of the monster supermarket sweep of Larkfield in 1989: the Golden-winged Warbler famously & so memorably did the right thing for vast hordes of admirers ๐

Finally managed to grip back Grey-headed Lapwing this morning at East Chevington with @GhostlyVision after dipping last Saturday and missing the bird last year due to being abroad.

Without doubt the smartest bird of the day has been Johnson's Today-tyrant, which must be one of South Americas smartest flycatchers.

This may be contentious, but I think a decent sunset is better than an #Aurora, more frequent, and much easier to see. AND, you don't need a camera to appreciate one.

..the Cape May was my fourth species of American Warbler for the autumn of 2023, one could argue autumn continued through to the following April, my sixth species being this stonking male Myrtle Warbler in a Scottish garden on 14th.

Potentially a very good find indeed by @dip1951 Gliophorus sciophanus "Toffee Apple Waxcap".
@lukaslarge @BritishFungi what is needed to confirm this?
Records not far away so seems possible.
