*It's Arrived!* After the longest gestation period of all my books - an advance copy of 'Grasshoppers', and it looks pretty fantastic. So, very pleased.

Thrilled to be elected an Associate member of the Society of Wildlife Artists. I feel so grateful for this recognition by outstanding artists, who above all are inspired by working directly from nature. SWLA at Mall Galleries until 25th October. https://t.co/GKynU3RioG

Another delay on crypto rules and all eyes are on @SenLummis. Is this about policy… or a generational gap in understanding tech? https://t.co/easJqaldUa

Time for an update! Yours will bear no resemblance to this edition, the illustrations weren’t well reproduced then and the distributions have changed dramatically.

@rlewington2 Just realised my version is now 26 years old and quite a number of changes in the Odonata world over those years.

Great news. Proofs of ‘Field Guide to Dragonflies & Damselfies of GB&I’ have arrived. Completely revised and updated with masses of new artwork, photos & distribution maps, and written by the 2 top experts Steve Brooks & Steve Cham, will make it the most complete guide on Odonata

The Gateway Tunnel hit a slowdown, and it's not underground. Federal contract reviews and DBE rule changes are holding up funding. Here’s how paperwork is stalling a $16B project.

Southern Chestnut - Agrochola haematidea near Swyre, Dorset 17/10/25. Probably the furthest west this species has been recorded.

Possibly my new favourite moth - Figure of Eight - Diloba caeruleocephala. Plentiful in Dorset but very uncommon in my part of Oxfordshire.

Four-spotted Footman. Just like buses in our village, you wait 30 years for one to come along and then two come along together. Would like a female now, which is quite unlike the male. Also, a couple of smart Dark Sword-grass.

I’m helping save Coul Links. Will you? Coul Links is a beautiful and unique wildlife habitat in the Scottish Highlands. But it is threatened once again with development. Join me in urging Scottish Ministers to say no to this damaging application.

Today I celebrate my birthday. It was worth being born to see the beauty around me, embrace it as much as I can and show it to other people. Please share my bit of happiness today and support my humble cause (link in my bio). Tell many others that small things do matter so much!
