Fae Dundee 🏴 but now in South London. Choral singing, botany, butterflies, birds, wee beasties, cups of tea, G&T. Larking about in nature. Ooh look, there's a thing... 🤔

I haven't been to the New Forest in ages! I'll let you know if we plan a future trip. Would be lovely to meet up!

Hi there, that's looks like Giant Snowdrop, Galanthus elwesii, which is an early flowering species, flowering January/February. They can flower in December in mild winters, so this is a very early spring one!

I can hear a little owl from my bed. First time in years.
Last night I gave a talk in which the local decline of little owls was tangentially mentioned. A few hours later, an 🦉 is pointing out I know nothing.

I think it could be Rayed Groundsel, Senecio vulgaris ssp. vulgaris var. hibernicus, which has been recorded at Brighton Seafront.
