A Male Dartford Warbler captured amongst the gorse bushes on our local heath.

Good morning! What are your plans today? I’m visiting one of my sisters to help her dog-sit. No doubt cake will be involved. Hope you have a lovely Saturday! A gorgeous flower from yesterday’s walk for you🤍

Woodland glade, olearia daisies, stitchwort flower and willow buds. A few prints I’m currently working with.

I draw trees and add their GPS reference. So you can venture out to find them and enjoy their company.

My favourite flower - the astoundingly lovely Grass of Parnassus 🌿🤍🌿 Growing here in #Oxford where it has been blooming since the ice age 🤍

Beautiful Ugly The sound of baby rooks always makes my day. Painted on cradled gesso panel with a silver leaf sky

Saw a couple of rather dazzling Peacock butterflies yesterday, both stopping to feed on Bramble flowers. And Green-veined Whites are booming at the moment, flying in their dozens in all the marshy rushy bits of the island

Male migrant hawker from Shapwick heath today. Also of note, a Brown Hawker and common darter, but otherwise quiet for Dragonflies. A clouded yellow buzzed through, and a Jersey tiger perched up for a few pics.

We had a proper old-fashioned day out #ByTheSea yesterday with ice cream & wildflowers galore! Clockwise from top right Carline Thistle, Eyebright, Harebell, the first Autumn Ladies Tresses, Sea Holly, Viper’s Bugloss, Ploughman’s Spikenard & a lighthouse!!! #WildflowerHour 🌊🍦

I love Sea Holly. I can’t walk past these wonderfully coloured flowers, without stopping to admire them. I’m not the only one, as there’s usually a crowd of bees and six-spot burnet moths there too! #ByTheSea #WildflowerHour

What a stunning plant, Rock Samphire at Cogden (part of Chesil) Beach in Dorset for #ByTheSea #WildflowerHour wildflowerhour

No chance of the #wildflowerhour challenge in N. Wilts, but saw these this week: Willowherb, Wild Marjoram, Scentless Mayweed, Strawberry Clover, Bird's-foot Trefoil, Woolly & Carline Thistles, Common Fleabane, Common Toadflax; Soapwort. #WiltsBotSoc BSBI: Botanical Society of Britain & Ireland wildflowerhour

I’m not totally sure whether this is Sea Mayweed - whenever I see it I think ‘Big Daisy’ and get distracted by the wonderful Fibonacci spiral in the centre😁 #ByTheSea #WildflowerHour

Sea lavender. Donegal. #wildflowerhour

Beautiful feathery flowers that dance in the breeze. Greater Knapweed. #WildflowerHour

The delicate flowers of Sea Rocket are gorgeous. The flowers look white from a distance but close-up you can see pale pink & lilac tones. #ByTheSea #WildflowerHour

Bit late for #WildflowerHour but I know you will love this Haresfoot Clover, Chicory and Agrimony found in the field margins near #GosfordHouse East Lothian wildflowerhour ELC Countryside Rangers

Good morning peeps on this first #MagentaMonday for August 🩷💜
