- #naturewriting I’ve now read Trevor Dine’s Urban plants twice and keep dipping in. It’s one of the most compelling, captivating, well researched books I’ve read in years. To combine scholarship with such engaging prose and a brilliant choice of images is the work of a writer of real distinction.

- #naturewriting Almost hidden by a web of wandering brambles we found a tiny oak tree that was mostly dead. However, one small trunk was festooned with these. They are marble galls caused by a gall wasp deliberately introduced into Britain in the 19th C as the galls are a good source of tannin.
- Before and after Greenwich Council destroyed least 14 wild flowers on the Haha with the poison glyphosate. They were not a trip hazard and not even on the footway. They included the rare double Greater celandine, Hoarycress, White campion and Pokeweed amongst others. RBG ignore protests.
