A freshly opened Rowan bud with the case of a tiny caterpillar

Is it possible to identify this Coleophora case? I think that there are only about five species that feed on rowan.

The swift parrot’s distinctive call was recorded dozens of times in a patch of Tasmanian forest. Then the forest was logged Scientists estimate the endangered bird’s population has slumped to about 750. But the logging agency responsible for clearing its habitat said it acted lawfully

Sign Petition: BAN THE CRUEL GUGA HUNT Each year, around August, approximately 10 fishermen from the Island of Lewis in the Scottish Outer Hebrides sail from the Port of (1130 signatures on petition)

Just seen this petition
I am not sure how the hunt is justified in the light of the avian flu effects on seabirds

That's fascinating
I have seen many insects impaled on spiky plants - usually after bad weather and I have always assumed it was accidental
Impaled on grass seems strange
My suspicion would be a bird storing food

Thank you very much. Unfortunately it flew off just after this photo was taken. So, I will probably never know for certain

Can this little beauty from last night's trap in south Norfolk be identified to species? I think it is Parornix
