I want to write about science for the general public. Some of the topics I have written about and researched include human sexuality, firearms and ornithological discoveries. Much of my work can be found as PDFs or links on my website

I have been visiting one of England’s pretty rural counties, Shropshire. We went for a walk in Cardingmill Valley where I came across many wildflowers, several of them with insect visitors. The valley takes its name from the woollen industry that used to be based in these hills. More on that in a future post. For now I hope you’ll enjoy a taster in the form of some of its loveliest wildflowers.

I stayed until the two families paddled their way to the far side of the pond, then moved to see it there were any turtles sunning themselves on the dead tree that has been laying half submerged for the past forty years I have been visiting that pond. There were only three or four, but the day was cool and I’m sure that old tree will be covered with all sizes of turtles when it gets sunny and hot.

Deciding to write a book on how cats evolved was easy, though I’d never written one before.

An EPB is a sort of tree of life, showing all the connections between every living thing. The full EPB is absolutely huge, but to give you an example of what a small section would look like, see the diagram

Tarantulas actually come in a great variety of sizes.

To take photos that will have a better chance of becoming research grade, Goforth has three tips. Don’t rely on the zoom; get as close as you safely can. Make sure the subject fills as much of the frame as possible. And try to submit photos that are in focus.

I really hope we are learning from this crisis. Many lives have been lost as the virus has spread but I am sure the health measures have helped to save many thousands of people. And we shouldn’t be afraid to mention this knock-on effect on that is benefiting our wildlife. Let’s hope we can look at this and improve the way we live in the future in a way that supports nature.

In terms of their pecking, this behaviour has a few functions. They drum their bill on the tree to make holes to store acorns and nuts in. They communicate through drumming, using it to warn of danger, as a threat, to communicate with rivals and potential mates. It can be a deterrent and an invitation as well as a practical way of storing food. Practical feels like a crucial word here, so much of what the woodpecker does feels incredibly practical.
