**NEW PODCAST: Wild Ideas**

BLUEBELLS. I did the bluebell woods thing and crouched down in the woods to appreciate the fact that I happen to live on the island with as many as half the world's common bluebells (Hyacinthoides non-scripta). That fact alone is worth a second take. We often under-appreciate the fact that nestled under the woodlands of Britain are some globally rare and geographically restricted plants. I won't lie, I was also quite invested in the time I spent near here walking through a field that was entirely populated by Shetland ponies (the most ridiculous kind of pony) but seriously, you tire of bluebell woods, you tire of life.

WOOD SORREL. Apologies for not posting a lot lately. I'm still trying to figure out my pandemic / post-lockdown life and how Instagram fits into it. Here's some confirmation that I still go to the woods with my camera when I have the chance.

SPRING BLOOM | Spring has arrived up North so I've been working on getting out of my head and back on the plant ID game!

Here's your #WorldWildlifeDay post. For the theme of Forests and Livelihoods: Sustaining People and Planet" here's a story about some giant trees. 🌳🌳

Welcome back to the woods for some more adventures in the snow. Cool how beech trees keep their autumn leaves through winter (which is called "macrescence").

SNOW BIRCHES. Obviously the recent flurries of snow have been luring me and my camera back to the woods. The cold weather might seem like it would be uncomfortable for all but the hardiest of trees, but it's also key to growth of new seedlings. The seeds of many European tree species (like field maple, rowan, and hornbeam) actually depend on exposure to at least one cold winter in order to germinate successfully in spring. So a bit of snow on the ground right now might be the secret ingredient to a new woodland understory in spring and summer.

WALLFLOWERS. I figured I'd make a return to posting on this profile for the first time in a while. I'm still working away on some projects while under lockdown but in the meantime here's some snowdrops to hint that a slightly more lively time for nature is on its way. It's been snowing almost every week up north so those other early signs of Spring that nature Instagram told me to look for haven't really arrived yet (where you at, hazel tree flowers?) but I guess it gives me more time to get back on the photography game.

Adventures in the woods, angsty days on the coast, nature shots, camera trap clips, and the moron behind it all (yes this is my editing face). It's been one hell of a year. Remember those first two months when we could go out and all squish into the same house or bar together? They were wild. All things considered the bits of the year when I wasn't accidentally on mute, negotiating an audio delay to have a conversation, or wondering how much rain is too much rain before meeting up with someone outside were very passable. See you all in 2021 when I promise to resume the nature content and give you all my hot takes on everything I watched on Netflix over the winter (I just found out Serena Williams is a massive Avatar: the Last Airbender fan and that makes me feel validated in a way I needed as we say goodbye to this year)
