Lunch in the garden today with this Brimstone feeding on the flowers of Daphne odora aureomarginata. Perhaps the word 'butterfly' originates from the yellow colour of male Brimstones like this one. @UpperThamesBC @Anna_Dillon

Delight of the day 🙏 @beatricegroves1 for the origins of 'Tabby' a 17th century word for striped silk taffeta, from the Arabic 'attābiy' a district of Baghdad famed for its striped silks. In C18 it was transferred to cats with brindled coats like Sheila Robinson's 'Tom Cat' 👇

‘Wake up, old tomcat, then with elaborate yawns and stretching, prepare to pursue love’ Issa’s haiku captures perfectly the languid appeal of a pleasure-seeking domestic cat. See some of the most evocative images of feline friends of Gt Bardfield’s artists @FryArtGallery Image: ‘Tom Cat’ by Sheila Robinson (cardboard cut, 1973) #saffronwalden #essexevents #summertime

Spotted the first Brimstone butterfly in my garden yesterday and two separately on the Kinecroft, Wallingford. These glorious butterflies spend winter in the brambles on the town's Saxon ramparts. #naturerecovery #nearbynature #spring 🙏 @JaneSunflower

It feels almost like #spring here today in Southern England! The trees are in #blossom, the #birds are singing, the sun is shining & I’ve been outside in short sleeves! I made this #painting of the ‘Arrival of Spring’ last year. janetomlinson.com/products/the-a… #art #springtime

@DailyPicTheme2 You get a really good idea of the vastness of the Rocky Mountains when you see the 'Dinky Toy' size of the lorry in this view from the train.

2/2 Meanwhile, Prunus spinosa, Blackthorn, is still in tight bud, so tiny against the last of the sloe berries. It'll be a few more weeks before the 'Blackthorn Winter' when these buds smother the spiky branches in their white blossom #signsofspring

😍 these buds and flowers of Prunus cerasifera, Cherry Plum, seen today on Castle Hill, Wittenham Clumps. They are the first tree blossom of the season, with distinctive reflex sepals beneath the white petals. #noticingnature 1/2

The wonderful @patrick_barkham author of the superb 'Badgerlands' is again championing Brock, this time wearing a badger suit in the London Marathon! Donate now, link in post 👇#Norfolk #backthebadger
Patrick Barkham@patrick_barkham

Thanks to everyone so far who has #backedthebadger, the fool who is running the London Marathon in a badger suit. I'm hoping to raise awareness of fab @NorfolkWT's 100th birthday and raise money to buy land for nature and people! 2026tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/backthebadg…

My first butterfly of 2026 on a spring-like Saturday. This Red Admiral emerged from hibernation to bask in the sunshine close to a Daphne odora, the most fragrant 'butterfly bush' of winter/spring. #wildlifegarden @UpperThamesBC @Anna_Dillon
