Always an highlight when the Common Terns arrive at St Aidan's great to watch and a nice challenge to photograph, usually distant though hence the generous crop.

Last year my friend's parents gave me three Common Spotted Orchids from their garden where they have established naturally and proliferated wildly over the years.
I've kept them in pots, in the soil that was removed with them and was very pleased to see that all three have survived and have returned this year.
So I thought it would be a good project to record one of them every week.

學名:Avena sativa L.科名:禾本科 (Gramineae)燕麥屬(Avena)別名:鈴鐺麥、香麥、皮燕麥 原產地:燕麥屬有24種,分布於東半球溫寒帶,主產地中海區域,非洲東北部和亞洲中部;燕麥在中國以內蒙古、河北、山西最多,東北、西北和西藏等地次之,它較其他麥類更能適應寒旱環境。用途:1.食用:燕麥在西方食品中主要用來做麥片粥,或和果汁香料等混合一起焙製成一種乾燥食品,泡在牛奶中做早餐。俄羅斯人非常欣賞燕麥作的黑麵包,現代由於認為燕麥是低熱量的健康食品,需求量大產量又低,價格要比小麥高。在俄羅斯黑麵包要比小麥粉作的白麵包昂貴許多。2.釀酒原料:燕麥還可以釀造啤酒和威士忌,著名的蘇格蘭威士忌酒中就有燕麥釀造的。3.未熟的莖葉作草料:嫩莖葉可作牛羊的草料。4.藥用:性味:種仁:甘、溫。效用:對心臟、神經系統及胸腺具滋補作用。治更年期雌激素缺乏,持續感冒,帶狀疱疹,肌肉硬化,濕疹,皮膚乾燥。特性:禾本科燕麥屬一年生草本植物,稈長約 80 公分,分枝較少。葉片長 8~20 公分,寬 0.4~1.5 公分。圓錐花序頂生,花序長 10~20 公分,分枝長而疏展,小穗大而俯垂,宿存,長 2~2.5 公分,含 2~5 小花;兩穎寬大,長於其外稃,草質,具 7~11 脈;外稃草質柔軟(麥)或堅韌草質,下半部具毛;外稃內稃龍骨有細毛,具扭轉膝曲的芒(燕麥)。穎果大,長圓形,被柔毛,成熟後與內外稃分離(麥、裸麥)或與內外稃貼生,不易分離(皮燕麥)。兩種均為6倍體植物2=42。穎近等長,7~11脈;外稃下半部具毛;內稃龍骨有細毛,榖粒長約 1 公分,近圓形,中間有一深溝槽,徑約 0.25 公分。http://www.hljh.tcc.edu.tw/teach/%E6%A0%A1%E5%9C%92%E6%A4%8D%E7%89%A9/燕麥/燕麥.htm
This moth is a common emerald, (Hemithea aestivaria), a species common in the U.K. accidentally introduced to B.C. in the late 1970's.I have been trying for several days to get a shot of it after finding it on plants in our greenhouse but it wouldn't stay still long enough. This morning It was resting on the inside wall of our plastic greenhouse on a cool rainy day, giving me a chance to finally get a photo.
