Folding Metal Loupe Magnifiers | Opticron Click to view this page on www.opticron.co.uk

It’s just a jeweller’s loupe held in front of the phone lens. Pretty clumsy but I quite like it and it all fits in a pocket.

It’s the 15x23 version here…

False Puffball | NatureSpot

No bother. Had a reply from @forestjeffrey.bsky.social that says it’s probably a False Puffball slime mould.

I think they’re right, there’s some pics here…

BBC Radio 4 - In Our Time, Slime Moulds Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the remarkable world of slime mould.

In the past Slime Moulds were classed as a fungus (I think) but they’ve been recognised as something else entirely.

This radio show got me interested in them…

A view of a well camouflaged lizard in dry long grass after retreating from his sunny spot. Taken whilst crouched, with arms extended thru a barbed wire fence, so not a great pic but under the circs…

That’s a lot of London rivalry going on there! Love that your dog supports a different team.

I’ll cross fingers for your dog and hope the Hammers stay up :)
