This plaque - last line: 'the Right of Juries to give their Verdict according to their Convictions' - is on the wall of the Old Bailey. But write that on a piece of cardboard today and stand outside a court and you may be sent to jail. prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/6570…

The #Cambridge Accordia patch of male Butterbur now a sea of huge leaves dwarfing my 8cm scale (top & lower left) whereas nearby female plants (lower right) were fighting a battle with the wind and invading ivy this morning. Petasites hybridus.

A rare find in Cornwall is Goldilocks Buttercup. Even rarer (anywhere) is to one in perfect condition. They are a scruffy species and usually lose petals within hours of opening. Woodland near Wadebridge today.

Whenever there's a #TreeFlowers challenge I like to photograph this Oak on the left and Ash on the right in Cherry Hinton Hall Park #Cambridge . For years now it's been 'oak before the ash, we're in for a splash' but no contest this year as the Ash has finally succumbed. 😢

#OTD 12 April 1748: birth of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu, botanist.

This afternoon Paul shot a sequence of photos of the female taking a pigeon from the male he had brought in, she came off the nest to collect it.
