Hi Tom HOS member in Norfolk and would like to visit Castle Hill but wondered if you would be possibly kind enough to let me know where to see/find these little beauties you photographed so well. Thanks Peter Colston

@HeathlandDavid Keep your hail stones for your G and T like me!

Mr Snowman came out of the freezer to enjoy the Spring flowers this morning!

@GeoffDouglas13 Still have my memorable 2.5"Dolland and saw some of my top birds through it in the 1950s. No bother cycling as it just hung over your back.

I came across this photo from a time before we all had angled scopes and tripod. This was the norm way back, lying back and using a leg as a rest. Still have my old Dollond scope, but just as a fondly remembered keepsake

Too much of our countryside is being doused with chemical pesticides. Bees, birds, butterflies and other wildlife are in decline. Join me and sign the @friends_earth petition to make the countryside a safer place for wildlife. #NatureFriendlyFarming act.friendsoftheearth.uk/petition/shape…

@swlondonbirder Lived in Balham and travelled down to Shoreham 15 Feb 1958 to see our first Iceland Gull with Mike Carter now top lister in Australia just reaching 900 species for the Continent

Found an Iceland Gull on the arm of Shoreham harbour late afternoon. Unfortunately looks like it's got on injured right wing (drooped while the left wasn't). Hopefully will rest up a few days and recover. Also a 'german looking' Caspian on the harbour. Purple Sand still too.

@ChallinorSukie @guigna1961 That is wonderful. P and Millie xx

@DavidGandyBkk I discovered this tiny gem singing it's head off together with Per in June 1989 in Sichuan and we then went on to publish as new. A fiesty little singer if you encourage it to perform!!

@GibraltarMuseum @Qafzeh Hawkeye

In case you missed it, yesterday we announced our most recent human #reconstruction: a #BronzeAge man from Bray's Cave in #Gibraltar. He needs a name though and we are asking the public, to send in suggestions, a shortlist of which will go to a public vote. Send us names below!

@howardwix @SimonDe57626653 @PhillipHasell Bush oven?

Chuffed with having seen the Bush Chat I've celebrated by buying a new oven 😂 @SimonDe57626653 @PhillipHasell

@IanGrif69719045 @SimonDe57626653 Must remember to pack my bike!

@SimonDe57626653 Hi Simon. The only other option since the road was washed away a few years ago is to bike it, or go in this!

Enjoyed our first experience of walking to Spurn Point last week. Excellent views of a very obliging Lapland Bunting, also a Redstart, several Wheatears and a Wood Warbler at nearby Kilnsea Church.

@Chris_Lansdell You will love it!

Present to self! I hope my pics might improve but sincerely doubt it 😉😜😂

@BryophyteSurvey @LeifBersweden Des. Would be my last UK orchid at 84yrs and live in Norfolk. Ready to go but would need directions. HOS member. Retired from Nat. Hist Mus Tring/London Bird Sect. Peter Colston

@Pauline68013850 This was a Douglas Fir 130 ft high with commanding views over the forest

After watching a Honey Buzzard we were taken to see a tree climbed by Bob Emmett when he was 73. This will only mean something to the oldies!

@AlstromPer @ErikEnbody @AnimEcol_UU Hope you are recovering now Per. China trips probably off for a while. Keep safe . Best wishes, Peter

@Britainsorchids @ukorchids @ghostorchiduk @BSBIbotany @BSBIscience @Leptochila I was privileged to see this Beech hanger phantom.
