Creeping Buttercup, Ranunculus repens. Hairy. Leaves up to 10cm and divided in to 3 lobes or leaflets. Central leaflet may have long stalk. Petiole with sheathing base. Creeping runners root at nodes to form new plants.
On a typically windy day around the Dungeness peninsula at the beginning of the month, it was great to see 56 Bewick’s, 5 Whooper & 42 Mute Swans across Walland Marsh & the ARC Pit! With a fair number of juv. Bewick’s in the flock! @RSPBDungeness #WinterBirding
Most butterflies overwinter as a caterpillar or pupa, however the brrrilliant Brimstone is one of the most cold-resistant species that overwinters in the UK as a butterfly. 📷: Eberhard Pfeuffer #Winterwatch #SaveButterflies @BBCSpringwatch
Not sure how unusual Ermine Stoats are in Kent, definitely a first for me at Dungeness on my early morning plod today. Unfortunately not particularly sharp images.
Hare having a bit of a spruce up before hunkering down out of the wind to enjoy the sunshine @ElmleyNNR @Mammal_Society #hare
Not the usual suspects at Elmley today.
First of the wild Primrose seen locally, Snowdrops starting to come up too, only obvious additions since New Year plant hunt. Early for #wildflowerhour

A bit of New Years reading for you, reporting on the highlights of a whole year patch birding at Swanscombe 😁 kentwilderness.blogspot.com/2023/01/swansc…
A roadside holly hedge flowering quite prolifically #wildflowerhour
Spent the day in the Stour Valley noting 68 species. Highlights included 2 Hen Harrier, 1 Nuthatch, 3 Woodcock, 2 Pintail, 1 Merlin and 1 Great White Egret. Full list on the link. ebird.org/checklist/S125… @WilsonMartyn @KentishPlover
Happy New Year! Butterflies and moths are often seen as a symbol of hope and new beginnings. 🦋 Keep an eye out for these species in your gardens and local green spaces this month, and let us know what you see. 👀 #SaveButterflies #MothsMatter
Ending 2022 - 217 avian taxa on my patch @Sandwichbirdobs with a certain omg Falcon😂 trumped by a wt* Bunting🤯, plus Caspian Tern, Buff-breasted Sandpiper (& a BBRC pending) all patch lifers. Notable dips: Rosefinch😭Mandarin, RL Partridge, Ring Ouzel, Crossbill & Goosander😬
A scout around the garden this morning presented me with the opportunity to look for tiny, pinky red anemone-like Hazel flowers... #NewYearPlantHunt
Long-eared Owl located in Kent earlier this year. One of this years highlights was watching them thrive in the environment, subsequently breeding successfully! Location withheld for the welfare of this sensitive species @KentishPlover
Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) flowers-on into a chilly December within a Miyawake plot at Park Wood open space, Maidstone. The small yellow achene-like fruits, or cypsela, are clearly visible.🌳 @BSBIbotany @wildflower_hour @morethanweeds @Britnatureguide @kent_field @Love_plants

Broadleaf trees undergo significant transitions throughout the seasons, greatly altering their appearance❄️ To identify what species a tree is, it is good practice to look at several different features - especially when they've dropped their leaves!🍂 👉ow.ly/Z0W850LW76Z
