One of two skulls to be found ontop of the gateposts at The Mausoleum at Kirkleatham - Very spooky walking past There on a night, if you dare................................
These gateposts were originally at the northern entrance to the Campbell estate at Duntroon, Canberra. They were moved to the gun gates of the military college in 1911. They are now on the Plant Road entrance to the college. Taken in 2018.
Milo was a neighbour's cat, a lovable old rogue who regarded my house as his own and simply wandered in, made himself comfortable and expected to be fed whenever the mood took him. He graced and charmed our neighbourhood for about 12 years, passing away on Friday 24th February 2017.

Decoration of the gateposts outside the Natural History Museum - all containing sculptures of animals.
The Natural History Museum forms part of 'Albertopolis' (a complex of buildings including the V&A, Science Museum, Imperial College, Albert Hall and Albert Memorial, to name but a few). The NMH itself grew from a collection belonging to Sir Hans Sloane. The current building came about in the mid-nineteenth century with the purchase of land in South Kensington, and an architectural competition in 1864 (won by Richard Waterhouse); work began in 1873, completed in 1880, and the museum opened in 1881.
Another installment in the long running series. This one is in Wolterton Park and scores highly on account of having blue AND orange rope. Something was clearly in a hurry to get through the stile before we got there...
Unusual slotted gatepost with single vertical groove near Great Tor Rocks on Dartmoor. Was it perhaps something else rather than a gatepost at one time?
Taeniopteryx nebulosa stonefly (female) found on a gatepost on the Stony Holme golf course by the River Eden in Carlisle, 25 February 20.
Note on identification: The stonefly was identified as a member of the Taeniopterygidae family using the Ref 1 key. There are four UK species in this group, but according to Ref 2 the forewing venation alone can be used to identify the species as Taeniopteryx nebulosa (the sub-species britannica is not covered here) because there are only two branches to the cubital vein Cu 1 (Cu 1 and Cu 1a as marked on Photo 2), and there are no cross-veins between C and Sc 1 (also marked on Photo 2). Although the patterning shown in the key cannot be seen, this is apparently often indistinct, and so its omission is of no significance. Photo 3 includes supporting observations, ie the subgenital plate, which is a good match to reference sketch for this species (Ref 2, Fig 8 C), and the scar on the inner posterior side of the coxa (arrowed).
