A female Dicyrtomina saundersi from today, this is a 9 image handheld focus stack at x7 magnification. It was quite a pleasant day today and got off to a brilliant start, I got up at 8am, opened the curtains to see a load of Waxwings on a neighbours aerial, then got so excited that I fluffed the shots, but at least I can finally say that I've seen Waxwings, I spent the rest of the day looking for some and I must have wandered around most of Melton Mowbray.
I eventually settled for another Collembola hunt, I could not find much else, but I'm still happy :o)
A MUST TO VIEW ON BLACK OR LARGE
Moonhole is a private community on the island of Bequia (Bek-way) in the Grenadines. Moonhole derives its name from a massive arch formed in volcanic substrate through which the setting moon is sometimes visible. (see previous shot)
Founded by Thomas and Gladys Johnston in the 1960s, Moonhole is now a private nature preserve. In the late 1960s, the Johnstons retired from the advertising business in New York and founded the Moonhole community on the narrow western tip of the island. Tom and "Gladdie" began building a house beneath the arch with the aid of local masons from the nearby village of Paget Farm. Using whalebones, native hardwoods, and objects recovered from the sea, they built large open rooms with magnificent views of the sea. Without wells or electricity, they collected rainwater from the roofs and stored it in cisterns for bathing and washing. The master bath had a large tree that grew right up through a large hole in the roof. Large windows facing the prevailing trade winds had plexiglass panes that could be lowered into place. The bedrooms surrounded a central dining room, veranda and large bar made from a humpback whale's jaw bone. In the early years there was not even a road to Moonhole. People from Paget Farm walked in daily to bring in fresh fruit and freshly baked bread and to do any necessary cooking.
Tom and Gladdie later formed Moonhole Company Limited and contributed the approximately 30 acre property to the company. Tom bequeathed his controlling interest in Moonhole Company Limited to a trust for the protection and preservation of Moonhole for posterity. The Thomas and Gladys Johnston Moonhole Conservation Trust Limited is dedicated to preserving the unique architecture, lifestyle, and vision of the Johnstons and to protecting the birds, wildlife and marine life on the peninsula at the western end of Bequia. There are now eleven privately owned homes at Moonhole and four houses owned by Moonhole Company Limited.
A young Burrowing Owlet cuddles next to his mom. She is grooming him but it almost seems like she is whispering secrets in his ear. Of course, that might be difficult to say since burrowing owls, unlike some other owls, don't have ear tufts. Burrowing owls live in burrows frequently excavated by other animals. When the substrate is soft, as it is in Florida, these birds will create the burrows themselves. They are extremely adept at digging, with their proportionately long legs. They line the burrows and periphery with a variety of things, including animal dung. This helps to moderate temperature in the burrow, but also attracts insects that are on their menu. Why go shopping when the shopping can come to you! Hopefully mom is giving junior some good pointers that will help him survive. #BurrowingOwls

An excellent fungal foray with Liz Holden, mycologist and Grampian Fungus Group, to the sand dunes of St. Cyrus SNH National Nature Reserve. Which is already one of our favourite places, with its micro climate, at the bottom of cliffs. A surprise to see this fungus growing in sand and moss, I wouldn't have expected this to be suitable substrate at all. Sample taken for microscopy, so detailed id to follow. The tiny snail was a bonus.
