Nature on the Hoof

A look up at our beautiful moon...

This time we see how flowers get their colours and what use they might have for the plant.

A look at instinctive behaviour in birds and how it may evolve.

A look a soldier beetles and their role in the garden.

This time we look at the real gulls that surround us and sometimes interact with us...

A look at the very underestimated dung beetle and its uses.

Taking a look a lichen and how they may be an important part of our future.

A look at the much maligned Magpie. Are they as bad as we think or are they just ‘in our face’?

This time I take a look at a not-so-welcome summer visitor up on the moors above the Vale of Leven

This time I look down rather than up and discover a few creatures in the micro world of the garden. Cuckoo Spit, Mites that hitch rides on Bumble Bees and much more...
