Plenty of interest in the ground flora of Dancersend, Bucks Chilterns today including Goldilocks Buttercup, Yellow Archangel, fruiting Stinking Hellebore and Sweet Woodruff just starting to flower #wildflowerhour Very sad to see extensive ash die-back at this site though…
Common Whitebeam Aria edulis/Sorbus aria, not quite yet in #TreeFlower but still looking great at this time of year, Dancersend, Chilterns, Bucks #wildflowerhour
As National Parks turn 75, a new report highlights only 6% of their land is recorded as being in good health for nature - with the Yorkshire Dales having less tree cover than York and waterways across these special places heavily polluted by sewage released from storm overflows.

Our Biennial Conference is back! systass.org/events/biennia… It will be held in June 19-21 at the University of Reading. Early-bird registration closes April 14th. Abstract submission deadline May 1st (March 31st for students applying for the bursary)
And to end off the week with a bang: another new species! Clusia salicifolia got its name by having leaves similar to a #Salix tree (#willow) and is native to #CostaRica and #Panama 🇨🇷🇵🇦Check it out #OpenAccess @KewBulletin doi.org/10.1007/s12225… @KewAmericas @manuelujan
Coralroot (Cardamine bulbifera) in Harrocks Wood Herts. In 2020 I looked at all the populations I could find in the Chilterns. In Harrocks I had estimated 400. With the loss of Ash, light & warmth let in, and today I saw at least a thousand. Nationally scarce, locally abundant.
Good morning from Central Park!!! These two dapper gentlemen wish you a happy Thursday! Prairie Warbler and Hooded Warbler(found by Chris Cooper this morning - thank you)! Who is more handsome???🤔
I wasn’t expecting to see a Dormouse at Martin Down in the middle of the day! You can’t get much cuter - a real highlight #dormouse #martindown
Am I missing something? Anyone heard/read Tory outrage at dangerous St George’s day protesters attacking police and a police horse? Tommy Robinson /Laurence Fox inspired rampage rather worse than peaceful environmentalists jailed for blocking traffic
Very important to note that a paper of this scale would not have been possible without: - Herbaria! especially @KewScience - a global team of collaborators willing to openly share data - advancements in efficient open source software - investment in basic biodiversity research

Great botany on the shingle ridge at Slapton! students now working on their project looking at disturbance and plant communities. #uopslapton #fieldwork @UoPScience
Absolutely delighted to find this singing and displaying Male Dartford Warbler this morning very close to my home. This is a previously unknown location for them so obviously won't be saying where it is. Interestingly this bird is ringed. I wonder where it came from? Fab bird.
Water-violet (Hottonia palustris) yesterday at Kings Meads nr Hertford, only site in Herts where species can still be found in great numbers. #wildflowerhour @BSBIbotany @wildflower_hour @HMWTBadger @hertsbna
Another lovely little plant to find on Mull was Rue-leaved Saxifrage (Saxifraga tridactylites), a new record of this locally scarce plant
Very exciting news- Pyramidal Bugle (Ajuga pyramidalis), new for the Isle of Mull! I found a few plants whilst out scrambling/ climbing / exploring a couple of days ago, went back the next day and found over 100 plants in two separate areas!
Another weirdo. Small-flowered Buttercup Ranunculus parviflora. I arrived at this site to find the dreaded strimmers had been deployed. Luckily, this plant likes to hug the ground (unlike Bee Orchids 😬). Port Solent, Hampshire. @BSBIbotany @Hants_BIC
