Starting slowly #SpiderADayForMay. Everyone starts somewhere & #Spiders are sooooo cool. Here is spider #1 Enjoying an aphid snack. (Rose garden enthusiasts take note) Heliphanus species or the 'Sun' Jumping spider. #whatsnottolike

Is there a word for cosmetic archaeology? There should be. Currently indulging in an aroma fuelled soak thanks to these beauties......#90's

First moth trap of the season today and amongst the many small quakers a new species for me I think.....Orthosia miniosa, Blossom underwing I believe. A real beauty. @savebutterflies

I could try and say something relevant, topical, profound even on the general state of everything. However what I feel I need is a small, purple, sea lavender weevil. So here it is. #Nature

20 yrs ago I drove to a farm visit in my Peugeot 205. On Radio 1, Blue, (Boy band in their 20s). Today, Peugeot 2008 to same farm, Radio 2, Blue, (Man band in 40s)!! Wildlife flourished in that time & there is much more to come, including arable plants! #Continuity #Conservation

Feb 14th. A day to reflect on things you love. So a little video to celebrate my coming out of hibernation on socials. Looking forward to the new season of all things arable plant and invert! #formerlyknownasweeds

A late flowering rose, autumnal sunshine, a Robin claiming his 'patch'. Quiet space for contemplation. #NatureTherapy

An excellent day today focussed on Reptiles & Amphibians. Great bunch of folk from a range of organisations & backgrounds sharing learning, science, sitings and ENTHUSIASM. Really uplifting day in the world of conservation. Plus I got to see some great conservation pals as well!

Whether or not it had a cunning plan was unclear.

Northumberland you have been amazing. As were my team mates & all the #mightyhikers for @macmillancancer and I what a finish too. Rain, sun, blisters, laughter and a dip in the North sea to ease the muscles. 27 miles in just over 8 hours. justgiving.com/page/emily-sw…

Train adventures to get here but made it eventually! Quick dip in the sea to refresh & I am ready for my #mightyhike for @macmillancancer tomorrow. Link below if you fancy sponsoring an epic 26.2mile walk in questionable weather.👇 💚#Northumberland justgiving.com/page/emily-sw…

A collage of reasons why no housework was done this evening. I subscribe to doing what brings you joy in life. In my case that is nature, horse riding, snorkelling or walking. Today was an underwater day, not a day for dusting. #ChalkReef #Snorkelling #NorthNorfolk

Had a bit of an X holiday! So back to it with my favourite type of post. #Spiders and a particularly cool Flower Crab Spider. @NHarnser @BritishArachno1

Highlight of the week. Dawn swimming on the Norfolk Norfolk Coast. When conservation gets surprisingly stressful just taking a moment to breath is so important.
