We love the idea that wild & naturalised plants across Britain & Ireland are getting ready for the #NewYearPlantHunt!
Ironing their petals, polishing their anthers...
How about you humans?
Have you planned your route & downloaded your spotter sheets?

Spotted this Green Woodpecker a few weeks ago.
Extreme range for the gear I had at the time.
Still a nice spot down at Fiskerton Fen NR.

Trip out to Gibraltar Point NR this morning.
Lots of Brent Geese (Branta Bernicla) on the saltmarsh.
Ducks on the meres - Teal (Anas crecca) with the odd Shoveler (Spatula clypeata).
A few Pink-footed Geese (Anser brachyrhynchus) in the fields.

A quick look around only yielded three flowering plants for #Wildflowerhour this week.
Ivy-leaved Toadflax (Cymbalaria muralis), Red Dead-nettle (Lamium purpureum) and Petty Spurge (Euphorbia peplus).

Always a treat to see everyone's pictures for #wildflowerhour - very uplifting.
My contribution is from Chesil Beach today. Still some gorgeous Thrift in flower there. Even when the pretty pink petals have dropped, the remaining flower is rather beautiful, with a little yellow star in each "cup".
