It is so wonderful to see the Monarch butterflies as they are now endangered. This beauty was sipping nectar from the pink Buddleia in the summer garden and the morning light cast a lovely soft glow on the butterfly and bloom.

It's #FoalFriday and this is the new colt in Clorox's band in the north Onaqui. About two months old here, he is going to be a rockstar! I've heard him called Talisman and I like that. He is gorgeous, spunky and a real attention getter already.

Put away what you’re at.

" Humans have already wiped out huge numbers of #species and pushed many more to the brink – with some scientists saying we are entering a “#SixthMassExtinction” event, this time driven by humans.

The main factor is the destruction of #wild landscapes to make way for farms, towns, cities and roads, but #ClimateChange is also an important driver of species decline and is predicted to have an increasingly worse impact as the world warms."

Getting to the remote Moon River Waterfalls is sometimes quite tricky depending on the water level. On this day we managed to boat to this spot on the river as beyond this point was too treacherous. The water levels were quite high and the falls were wild. The rocky shoals were numerous so we parked and walked as far as we could to this wilderness waterfalls.

A wild beaver has been spotted in Pembrokeshire by a couple who were baffled by the machete-like damage to their water-side trees. Thankfully, they're remaining anonymous to protect the beaver (who they've named Antony after the historian Antony Beevor) because DEFRA are usually inclined to remove them.

When in your #garden would you stand on a #daffodil?

THEN DON’T STAND ON A DANDELION EITHER!

Dandelions are vital.
Daffodils are cosmetic - all show. Apart from the old #wild variety the goodness has been bred out of them.
