📚🦉Opening hours for our members’ library: 1st Saturday each month 10.30am - noon Booking by appointment is also available: email your request to jim.bnslibrarian (at) gmail dot com We’re in Bristol Museum (ask at reception)
🧙♂️We’ve just been told our wonderful old naturalists’ library feels like Hogwarts. 🦖You pass the giant dinosaur, go upstairs to get to the basement, need secret knowledge to get in & it feels like platform 9 & 3/4. 🦉An ancient place of wild magic. 📖 Open to all members.🕷

A new suborder for the UK: Cyphophthalmi, mite harvestmen! Species-level identification still needs to take place but exciting nonetheless. 1 juvenile and 1 adult female. At only 2mm it will be the smallest British harvestman. Likely introduced. Royal Fort Gardens, Bristol.
