Canal-side plants Dog rose (briar, rose hip) Ubiquitous tangles of beauty and thorns. Late spring, the crouching briar shows its velveteen paws with flowers the colour of Tiger Lily's winter coat (Rupert Bear). #DailyNature #ukcanals #plants #naturewriting #blossom

Few miracles can match The greens of these grasses Warmed by this sun On this one evening When the alder leaves tremble. #DailyNature #naturewriting #summer #nature #poetry

A night of disquietening dreams That cling to my mood And the paths I walk. A light rain On Horse Hill Washes them away. #DailyNature #dreams #anxiety #rain #splinteredlight #naturewriting

A flash of red caught my eye. It was just a ladybird on a nettle And yet, somehow, In some way, They made all the difference. #DailyNature #plants #ladybirds #naturewriting #nature

Join us on a gentle night of summer rain as we listen to the rooks and explore the beauties and ambiguities of liminal places. A night of crow song, poems, and a guided tour by Luke Sherlock to the ruins of a church under wide East Anglian skies. #ukcanals #podcast #rooks www.noswpod.com/fenland/

Canal-side plants Water-dropwort (hemlock) It's been a good year for dropwort. Great volcanic eruptions of thick stems and parsley-like leaves. Flowers resemble classroom models of molecules. Their virus shaped globes, tiny petalled, hint at its darker side. #plants #DailyNature #ukcanals #nature

And today's #DailyNature concert is 'Raindrops and Crow Song' composed by that prolific duo, Westerly Wind & Atlantic Low. It features the massed choir of rooks and features a lovely improvised solo by dove. Enjoy. #ukcanals #birds #rain

This is a WONDERFUL podcast that beautifully captures the feeling of journeying in a narrowboat along the canals and waterways. This is the best podcast available for canals, narrowboats and boatlife. Please give it a listen (5 epsiodes now available). #ukcanals #podcast #narrowboat #boatlife
