Rugby Wildlife Group volunteer work party was at Newbold Quarry today.Tackling the steep lower slopes of Gun Hill, beneath the Cotoneaster regrowth is Wild Strawberry. With a Grizzled Skipper colony 1/2 a mile away we're hopeful that colonisation is possible. @bcwarwickshire.bsky.social

New species for me today. Clammy Goosefoot Dysphania pumilio growing on a Portsmouth kerb. Found recently by @sjthomasbotany.bsky.social. Lovely little thing, very pleased to see it. Second record for South Hampshire, last in 1936. @bsbibotany.bsky.social

The next NNNS event is an introduction to wildflowers at Roydon Common, led by Dr Bob Leaney, on Saturday 19th November at 10:30. Meet at the western NWT car park at TF68032299. It's also an excellent site for invertebrates, so there should be plenty to see!
