Caved in and lit the stove tonight. Cold and damp do nothing for the osteoarthritis in my foot. Feeling better, but that could be down to the warming glass of red wine...

Date Waxcap (Hygrocybe spadicea) Having an incredible bumper year in Britain following the hot dry summer and seemingly the same in Ireland. A pleasure to see 100's of fruit bodies this morning at what is now the 4th known Irish site (the 3rd also found this year).

A fun couple of days working on by-catch including lots of Trichoptera (Caddis Flies) a few Neuroptera (Lacewings), one chunky Megaloptera (Alder Fly) and a couple of Plecoptera (Stoneflies). More records for the client, beyond Diptera. A close up of Agrypnia varia below dipteraid.co.uk/projects/

Excitement in the post today - the new book on The Glow-worm by my friend and long-time volunteer at @bbowt.bsky.social Dancersend Nature Reserve, John Tyler. It is a magnificent new version of the small book he self-published 30 years ago, now 168 pages with lots of new content and superb photos.

#favouriteplant is a hard one after such a magically botanical year but finally meeting Arctic Sandwort (and both subspecies about a week apart!) is high up there! #wildflowerhour
