Parasitic Purple Toothwort at Ness Botanic Gardens y’day. One of the few places this naturalised chlorophyll lacking plant can be found in the UK #botany #NessBotanicGardens

A great ringing demo at Ness Botanic Gardens today despite the dire weather forecast. Lots of smiling faces and 68 birds processed including good numbers of Siskins #birdringing #birdbanding #nessbotanicgardens

Photograph taken using a macro setting at Ness Botanic Gardens, on The Wirral. Obviously taken in the summer on a beautifully warm, sunny day. A ladybird sits atop a green, unopened flower bud in the midst of a large area of wildflowers and grass. It's right front leg sticks out to steady its body.
