Hey @merseyrail I'm used to being late for work because of your trains being late but today I was on the platform at 8.01 only to see the 8.03 train disappearing into the distance. Are your timetables real, just a suggestion or pure fantasy?
This picture is not upside down. #reflection
Painted Lady. I managed to get in amongst the mass Painted Lady butterfly emergence currently happening on the Patch. #ButterflyCount #butterflies #paintedladies
Hey @Ness_Gardens your gardens are great but your gift shop balloon cars are rubbish. #nonstarter

Off West Kirby Marine Lake today was an old friend - the Polish ringed Black-headed Gull TMEN. Ringed near Lodz in 2013 it was at WK later that year and it's been back every year since. Since it was ringed it has never been seen outside Dee Estuary. @SteveOnHilbre @mattthomas966
Can anyone from #TeamMoth help with the ID of this funky little micro? I do have the guide book but it's languishing on my desk at work. #moths @BritishMoths #micromoths
Red-veined Darter on Hilbre. Only the third record for the island. #dragonflies #dragonfly @BroadGavin @hilbrebirdobs @BDSdragonflies #hilbre #insects
Pyramidal Orchid on Hilbre Island. I was 2 the last time one flowered here. I'm not revealing what year that was... but it was a long time ago. #hilbre #orchids #flowers #wildflowers @BSBIbotany #feelingmyage
Hundreds of #PaintedLady butterflies, dozens #RedAdmiral, SouthernHawker, EmperorDragonfly & CommonBlueDamselfly. 15+ #RedveinedDarter rare @ Hilbre (see hilbrebirdobs.blogspot.com/2017/05/26th-m… photo attached by @mattthomas966). Migrant insects definitely on the move! Also 20 Swifts passing over
My new favorite video is this Belarusian forest ranger answering a call in the woods while a giant grouse sits on his back performing a mating ritual. "Yes, I am just a bit busy at work... Yes yes, I am listening..."

June Dee Estuary Birding Newsletter has just been put on line featuring the Gronant Little Terns @NW_LITTLE_TERN @GronantTerns deeestuary.co.uk/news.htm
No need to worry, a potentially disturbing find on Hilbre turned out to be driftwood not a fragment of femur. No foul play on the island... #driftwood
