I remember collecting Pg Tips cards for Ships, Dinosaurs and Spacecraft. Do you remember what year they did the butterflies?
Iβve seen quite a few Brimestones so far this year. We have a peacock still in hibernation in our leanto waiting patiently for spring to truly start. The video is from Wednesday in Titmore Green.

Itβs looking good so far. Loads of queen bumbles about and reports of hairy footed flower bees are about too. Honey bee colonies are looking strong too.
Increasing the amount of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus doused on agricultural grassland reduced flower numbers fivefold and halved the number of pollinating insects, according to the paper by the University of Sussex and Rothamsted Research.

In that case Iβm going to start a one man band called 999mb cos Iβm sure I wonβt get a Gig π

Itβs a great book that we use for all our beginners courses at NHBKA. It contains everything a beginner needs to know and more.
Poor ol Chris Hawkins has done Craigβs show more than him. I think they should say that Craig is filling in for Chris like he did for Shaun before they unkindly booted him out.
Currently on vacation in Tenerife. Weather is amazing, so much warmer than back home.
MAHβs are always carefully curated and interesting, Iβve been introduced to so many new artists by her shows. Another example of 6music getting it so wrong.
Feeling V sorry for Mary Anne Hobbs on BBC6Music. Iβve listen to her shows on 6music for about 12years only to find out today that she has been side lined. Would appear that what Lauren Laverne wants, she gets. First it was Shaunβs morning show and now itβs the mid morning show.

Well, the planet is burning.
Don't let them look away.
