02-Oct: On this day in 1836, Charles Darwin returned to Britain: ‘On the 2nd of October we made the shore of England; and at Falmouth I left the Beagle, having lived on board the good little vessel nearly five years.’ He was to remain a landlubber to the end of his days. #histsci
I was stunned when I saw this rare Adonis Blue beauty whilst walking the #CornishCoastalPath @CornwallAONB @LizardCornwall a few weeks ago @NaturalEngland @ILoveCornwallUK – at Plymouth, England
A sighting of the rare crimson-speckled moth, which migrates from Africa and Spain in September and October, is a vision to behold. What spectacles has nature treated you to recently? #EveryoneNeedsNature
