Seeing plenty of these guys around but not enough yet for a #BigButterflyCount.

So many butterflies, bumblebees and other insects visiting the pots on our very sunny patio this weekend. I go for as many pollinator-friendly plants as I can cram in!

Well, yma o hyd and all that. Worth bearing in mind. And to translate the message painted on the shutters of Reform’s abandoned premises after their defeat in the Caerffili by-election, Nawr chi’n gallu ffwcio bant adre.

So glad the 4 brand new rooks’ nests survived the tail end of Storm David. It was touch and go with some of those gusts. Looking forward to seeing more nests next year - I think we’re on trial this year. #RSPBCymru

One like this? A true homage.

Obviously the good people of Caerffili can empathise with her. Surprised they found their way there in the first place.

It's that time of year again, when the clocks go back an hour and pets throughout the land are confused, angry and reproachful that Sunday dinner is an hour late.

Two dogs and a cat sitting in front of empty food bowls, looking angry and upset that their dinner time is an hour late.

Who deserves this, rather than, say, a Nobel Peace nomination?

Image of The Scorched Earth Medal for Outstanding Achievement in the Eradication of Peace. Text underneath the medal says: Awarded to those whose leadership has resulted in systematic devastation of multi-generational civilian life and cultural heritage, ecological ruin and the obliteration of truth and integrity, while dressed in the language of liberty, security or progress.
Recipients have demonstrated exemplary use of disinformation and eradication of all potential sources of truth alongside direct engagement in military aggression that disregards international law and human rights.

To be fair, I think the Daily Express has just discovered it.

Front page of newspaper with headline that says For pity’s sake stop this now, with an image of a severely emaciated child.

Headline from Haaretz today. It's a killing field: IDF soldiers ordered to shoot deliberately at unarmed Gazans waiting for humanitarian aid

The delights of No Mow May.

Now is as good a time as any to down tools (well, mowers) and feel good about it as you leave the dandelions as first food for bees and other insects that need nectar now. Join the #NoMowMay campaign - if you can’t bear the thought of an unmanicured lawn, at least keep some sizeable patches uncut!

Could this be one of Steve’s relatives @in-otter-news.bsky.social ?

Daffodils (Cennin Pedr) in March. Entirely appropriate.
