For any New Forest birders, Yellow-browed Warbler in sallows along Mill Lawn Brook (SU 23068 03617) east of Burley. Calling ever now and again but elusive @RareBirdAlertUK @hantsbirdnews @DorsetBirdClub #hantsbirds

Throwback to a beautiful late July evening on a mountain top in the eastern Cairngorms with @bardseyben @jadephill10 and shed loads of Scotch Burnets
The enigmatic mountain moth Kessleria saxifragae from the high slopes of a remote glen in the Cairngorms. We found these adults on Yellow Mountain Saxifrage at 750m, just out of reach of grazing deer. What a moth, what a foodplant and what a habitat!
What. A. Day. in the hills taking in some of the UK's rarest arctic-alpine plants! Extra points to anyone who can correctly guess the micro moth resting on my camera that really made my day...
Mountain Avens, Boreal Fleabane, Alpine Saxifrage, Alpine Woodsia and a host of other wonderful Arctic-Alpines in Caen Lochan with @billsbirding @jadephill10 today. Ledges dripping with some real gems, and a few niche micro
moths discovered too! #WildflowerHourView quoted post on X
Pulvigera lyellii on hawthorn in Richmond Park today. Looks like it's been well nibbled by herbivores but the distinctive little gemmae sticks were still visible @BBSbryology
