A BRIEF NOTE TO BE BACK

This twig is right at the top of the tree.

A short note to say there may be some short posts coming up.

I've learned a few tricks to keep my laptop going. It's still a nuisance so I won't be pounding out millions of pictures and mountains of information but there will be more than there has been of late.

Here's a challenge I delight in at this time of year - will I get any decent pictures of Turkey Oak twigs? (The new growth is so twiddly!)

The next challenge will be Turkey Oak flowers. (Little red blobs.) After that, spring should be plain sailing.

I don't know if you've already noticed but I've added a few links under the 'Identifying Things' tab.

Sometimes information is grouped into topics but mostly I add to the foot of the list so it's generally easy to find new entries.

You can get clicking straight away, here they are:

SHELL GUIDE ( from NBN - National BioDiversity Network)

A GUIDE TO TREE IDENTIFICATION - on Woodlands.co.uk  - a site where you can buy woodland!
NATURE GUIDE UK - Very straightforward. Click 'bees' and you get bees. Click 'grasshoppers' and that's what you'll get. Point at a picture - it'll tell you what it is.
iNATURALIST - try pottering around it.
BIRD LIBRARY - An illustrated list of some common British birds. (Page on Vine House Farm site selling seed etc. for wild birds.)
AMPHIBIANS AND REPTILES - Pictorial guide to UK amphibians and reptiles. On the Froglife site.
