First live bumble of the year and what a stunner. A huge queen buff tailed bumblebee absolutely rolling in crocus pollen. Banger! #nature #bumblebees #crocus #wildflowers #photography

I've found the old 80s robin of Sherwood to watch. Robin has just shown up at the archery contest in a very stupid disguise. #retrotv

Too windy to get a shot of the occasional bee that is up battling against the weather, but this lovely native 7 spot ladybird was a more amenable target. #nature #ladybird #photography

A wind assisted bike ride to work, followed by the arrival of a truck with a flaming firepit on the back. Sadly, not here for a cook out or anything fun. #cycling #photography

Wretched IBS and Tourettes symptoms today, managed a 7km run though. Found the first lesser celandine in the park! #running #nature #tourettes #wildflowers #photography

Further out onto campus, more willow catkins are emerging. I went on quite a ticcy walk to spot them. I am a strange human. #nature #tourettes #wildflowers #photography

This poor buff tailed bumblebee queen is the first I've seen this year, but sadly it was still too cold for it. Too cold for me too. Hopefully with milder weather ahead we will see more on the wing, happier and healthier. #nature #rspb #bumblebees #photography

Tourettes symptoms have been up today. Stimulating thoughts bring strange tics. Mouth making new noises. #tourettes #autism #writing

The strangely formed powder blue rosemary flowers are now showing signs of emerging. As ever the bush leaves smell wonderful! #nature #spring #wildflowers #photography

I've now read the first Sookie Stackhouse book "Dead Until Dark". I hadn't realised they had to add so much to create the first Trueblood season. #reading #horror

Found some fungi in the old oak wood. Turkey tail adjacent, I'd say as I don't know fungi well. #nature #fungi #photography

Zero degree ride in, but no ice on the roads and paths. Sun out in a watery winter fashion. Advert for Battersea dogs home song playing on repeat in my head. #cycling

Got out of the house for a quick trundle, found that dwarf irises are now out in the castle grounds. #nature #wildflowers #photography

My new cycling helmet fits properly, but only if I don't wear beanies under it. This is going to be a pain, literally, in cold weather. #cycling

It's very noticeable on a day like this what a light green colour the stinking hellebore is. Really stands out against the grassland. As did a little group of goldfinches feeding on the teasel heads. #nature #wildflowers #photography

The day is grey wet and cold again. Rinse repeat, day six. Rode to work with a balaclava on as it fits better with my new helmet. Probably made me look like a Red Army Faction commuter, albeit a responsible one. Now how will my head handle the day. #cycling

Amongst the depressing cold and funeral skies, was cheered up the the sight of a first willow catkin properly emerged! Full disclosure had to turn the brightness up on this shot. You get better light in Hades. #nature #wildflowers #photography

This is literally the only colour to be found out there today. It's really grey and cold, and showers of rain occasionally open up. #nature #wildflowers #photography

A filthy wet day, still got out for an hour's trot around town. These beautiful snowdrops were in friary gardens. The intricate design is stunning. #nature #wildflowers #snowdrops #photography
