A nice fresh Red Cage Fungus just inside the school entrance at Old Town, Scilly. It would have been a #FunFrudayFungus had I found it yesterday! Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust

Solar-powered Sea Slug, Elysia viridis, a star find off St Martin's, Scilly. This brilliant beast is able to retain living plastids from its algal food, allowing the plastids to continue to photosynthesise and generate energy within its body. Scilly Rockpool Safaris Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust Fun!

Gotta luv the St Mary's, Isles of Scilly 'Community Bus' strapline - it is, of course, a great way to see the island and have a few smiles along the way! Isles of Scilly Isles of Scilly Travel #BritishHumour

The Song Thrushes on Scilly, with few natural predators, are extremely confiding. This lovely one from last week would have made a great RSPB christmas card...had it been a Robin! Isles of Scilly Bird Group Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust

Nostoc commune, a macroscopic #cyanobacteria, found at work this afternoon by Dr Sarah Arnold - long appreciated as a healthy food and traditional medicine worldwide with wide ranging protective physiological and #pharmaceutical properties… I’ll pass, but thank you! Kent Field Club

A super-speedy Merlin shot over the RSPB Dungeness entrance track this morning at Mach 4... A record shot - but it'll do! RSPB #UKbirding Black Terns also on the pits.

The Hanson Hide at RSPB Dungeness was busy this morning with Glossy Ibis, 6 Cattle Egret, 2 Garganey and a Peregrine hassling a Raven... Lots of fun (unless you were the Raven)! KOS #UKbirding

Kingfishers are speedy little b... birds! This one this evening in #EastMalling proving to be no exception - I still haven't got a decent picture, but a naff flight shot is perhaps better than no shot at all. #Kingfisher KOS #birding

This colour-ringed Common Sandpiper seen in #EastMalling, Kent, on Friday was originally ringed just 8 days previously near Farsund, Norway - 854 km in 8 days and weighing only 46g! Aren't birds brilliant! EURING Wader Study KOS #UKBirding

A single House Martin didn't exactly fill the Kent skies at lunchtime today. There should be masses of birds, large and small, moving south at the moment - and there simply aren't. #NatureCantWait BTO RSPB
