Plant of the Day

Thursday 8 September 2022

A garden plant that has become widely naturalised in the U.K. is Lysimachia punctata (dotted loosestrife, garden loosestrife). Here this strong-growing herbaceous perennial is growing in a ditch where it has the damp conditions in which it thrives.

(It looks like Tunglr dot come has eaten my last attempt at the Path Report, so forgive me if you are seeing this twice)

Since I’m back at my parents place today to dogsit for my sister, I’m able to go out for an impromptu Path Report(tm): everyone’s favourite update on a suburban Canadian walking path and the things that grow there!

First let me introduce todays assistant, Lucifer the Xolo:

Almost immediately we came across a little patch of yarrow mixed in with a plant I didn’t recognize, but which looked like a type of vetch:

Immediately around the corner was a bunch of Fringed Loosestrife:

Since we’re coming to the end of July one of my favourite types of wildflower, Asters, are just starting to pop:

And the Nodding Onions, a native Allium, are in full swing:

Also pretty common along the path we’re some Harebells:

And best of all it’s now Berry Season! We saw lots of snowberries and pin cherries:

And best of all my beloved Saskatoon berries!

There were also a few mushrooms peeking out of the leaf litter here and there, but since I am at my picture limit the mushroom addendum is going to follow.

#path report #some saskatoons were snacked upon #no more than a half handful though #it is nice to see some of the Saskatoon bushes recovering

17/07/2022-Lyndon and Egleton Nature Reserves, Rutland Water: Part 2 of 2-The butterflies, dragonflies, mammals, other wildlife, flowers and landscape

Following on from my previous post it was also another brilliant day of watching butterflies with a host of species seen and so many individuals too, charted well by Big Butterfly Counts I did at both Lyndon and Egleton. At Lyndon seventeen Gatekeeper, eleven Small White, two Small Skipper, thirteen Meadow Brown, one Ringlet, one Comma, one Brimstone that was sat on the mud of the lagoon with a Small White for a little bit an interfering and nice sight a star species seen today, one Peacock, one Red Admiral and a scrumptious and bright scarlet Small Copper were a pleasing set of results. It felt significant that it’s the first Big Butterfly Count I’ve done this year where I’ve counted into double figures for three target species.

It was a wealth of colour at Egleton too the meadows and pathways of Rutland Water were brimming with butterflies today; in my Big Butterfly Count two Commas, fifteen Small White, five Meadow Brown, two Specked Wood, one Six-spot Burnet moth, one Brimstone, one Ringlet, five Gatekeeper, a faded Painted Lady and an eye catching Peacock looking stunning in the sunshine seen from a hide were brilliant to see. I broke new ground at both seeing target species for the count that I’d not yet seen in one this year.

In the world of other wildlife Brown Hawker and Ruddy Darter two year ticks in Norfolk on Friday starred as we saw them so well today some brilliant views. Southern Hawker, Black-tailed Skimmer and Emperor showed well today too. I also enjoyed seeing a Grey Squirrel feeding on the feeder at Lyndon visitor centre, sheep and cattle in this rural landscape, a nice Roesel’s bush cricket which we got a good view of a highlight of the trip, Common Red Soldier beetle, Swollen-thighed Beetle and spiders across the day. A real wealth of flora and fauna which was so good to see.

We saw many flowers well throughout today with one particular patch of meadow at Egleton which just looked so beautiful with it covered in bird vetch and oxeye daisy, yarrow, mallow, scabious, lady’s-bedstraw and carrot all carpeting the area making for stunning scenes with viper’s-bugloss nearby. Meadow crane’s-bill, thistle, teasel, marsh woundwort at Lyndon where I learnt this flower last year, hedge woundwort, buddleia I believe at Egleton which I took the fifth picture in this photoset of, the dotted loosestrife at Lyndon which I saw yesterday evening again, swatches of ragwort and dock adorning the islands in lagoon four alongside oxeye daisy too, possibly sorrel, another white one, pineappleweed, St. John’s-wort, white clover and broad-leaved clover were special to see too. There were nice red berries again to see today which the third picture in this photoset at Egleton shows. I took the ninth picture in this photoset of pretty pink yarrow and carrot and the seventh and eighth of the particularly nice meadow area on the way to lagoon four.

In the strong sunshine there were nice views of meadow, reedbed, fields, water and more today which was so lovely to take in and be out in today. I took the first two pictures in this photoset of views at Lyndon and fourth, sixth and tenth pictures in this photoset of views at Egleton. Like all the days away we got talking to some brilliant like-minded people with many of them doing as we were visiting here whilst here for the Bird Fair. It was so good to see the famous lagoon four where the sea dragon was discovered last year. And it was nice to take in the pretty villages once more on the way home.

What an amazing weekend away of birdwatching, butterflies and dragonflies key moments in my year for all, as well as moths and mammals with all of my year lists growing this weekend, as well as flowers, views, walking, social interaction and helping raise money for a good cause by visiting the Bird Fair and relaxation. An unforgettable time. My full wildlife sightings summary for the day is in my previous post. It was beautiful to watch the sun go down and see Buzzard on the way home seeing Lesser Black-backed Gulls and the Greylag Goose that frequent it on my school field as we got back home and a moth in my room once in tonight.

Part 1 of today’s blogs is here: https://dansnaturepictures.tumblr.com/post/690142199183212544/17072022-lyndon-and-egleton-nature-reserves

Lysimachia punctata, Primulaceae

The bright, showy flower spikes of the dotted loosestrife surely stand out on a grey day, but have only relatively recently started popping up in the natural landscape of the British Isles, having been present for less than a few decades in most areas. Originally introduced from South-Eastern Europe, Western Asia and the Caucasus, this vigorous species became a common element in cottage gardens in the second part of the XVII century, when it was also popular as a long-lasting cut flower, but as it propagates mostly vegetatively through short rhizomes and sexually only if grown in ideal conditions, it took it a while to reach the wilderness and can now be encountered generally as small colonies in proximity of urban areas or streams, at least here in Scotland. If grown in full sun in rich, humid soil it should be divided each year to prevent it from forming very large clumps.

Lysimachia species are notable for producing oils rather than nectar (the species name, punctata, refers to the oil glands, small dark dots on the inferior page of the leaves), which attract specialised oil-collecting bees of the genus Macropis. As M. nuda is native to the US and M. fulvipes seems to roam the native area of this plant and Europe, reaching only Southern England, I’m unsure regarding natural, frequent pollinators up here in Scotland.

the sundew and loosestrife fall off a lot but grow back eventually kinda like deers with their antlers fjddbnrfb it doesnt hurt fae at all it just feels weird hdbdjdbdjd

speaking of sundews and loosestrife they dont serve a massive purpose of like hunting or hiding but just make faerself look bigger than fae already are to keep copenhagen specifically away from fae. it doesnt always work

Jennie Butchart’s Sunken Garden

We stand for a time in her vision,

surrounded by green dark cliffs of cascading ivy

and the lighter green spray of ferns

and wavering threads of falling water.

We wander along dreambeds

where Gooseneck Loosestrife

suspends her spilling snowflakes

and Bearded Tongue displays pink and white coronets,

while the lemon-yellow horns of Angel’s Trumpets bow

and Angel’s Fishing Rod dangles magenta lures.

Here we see the scarlet-dotted orange orbs

of Scotsman’s Purse and the clustered

lavender bells of Grape Hyacinth.

And we cannot completely believe

that this silent eruption

of cultivated magic

began in the gray-clay waste

of limestone-emptied quarry.

Reflection

If you have ever doubted the transforming power of vision, pay a visit to the Butchart Gardens of Vancouver Island and doubt no more. In 1908, when cement industrialist Robert Pim Butchart had emptied a large quarry of its limestone and clay, his wife Jennie went to work in the place, a vast and desolate cubic hole in their property. More than a decade later, the waste place had been transformed into the Sunken Garden, a stunning and enchanted spot that draws and inspires thousands of visitors daily. The acres surrounding the Sunken Garden were also cultivated into exquisite gardens, including a Japanese Garden, a Rose Garden, and an Italian Garden. The entire place oozes with magic, but I was most in awe of the Sunken Garden simply because it began as an emptied quarry and had been utterly, powerfully transformed. Jennie Butchart died in 1950, but through the instantiation of her vision, she is daily and deeply reaching the souls of thousands.

11/08/22-Winchester and home

I really liked getting in decent morning walking before work today, seeing beautiful views as I cut across Lakeside and being wrapped up in glorious morning sunny scenes in Winchester especially at the cathedral where the ringing bells was so sweet to listen to and other churches St. Paul’s and St. Peter’s. I loved using such a hot and sunny day with endless blue skies and dark green vegetation to bring my bridge camera in my work bag to go to Winnall Moors at lunch time too taking in St. Thomas Church in addition to the other two sites as well. I took the first two pictures in this photoset of views this morning. I enjoyed seeing the epic super sturgeon moon which looked stunning at home tonight after enjoying nice evening sunshine alongside morning and middle of the day tonight on the way and at home with some great scenes.

Three birds dominated my day. Winnie the Peregrine who I got exceptional views of again at St. Thomas Church again, seeing her piercing eyes with her eyes closed quite a lot too in a nice shadow of the church. I took the seventh and eighth pictures in this photoset of her I am privileged to have photographed both young and adult Peregrine this month. A raptor double was completed well by a Sparrowhawk soaring from a beautiful bit of river I saw for the first time at Winnall Moors which I took the ninth picture in this photoset of, a breathtaking bird to see that I have had a great week for.

But in something rare and unique the star was perhaps Woodpigeon as I saw the chicks in a nest right by our office opposite a tall tree that we can see well into through the window. It was amazing to get such precious views of these adorable youngsters. I reflected on how for a bird species so common and one I see so much I’d never seen really young chicks of them I have seen older youngsters lacking their neck ring later on. And this is probably the case for many common bird species so this was a privilege to see these young birds these past couple of days. And what makes it more thrilling is the two or maybe three chicks we couldn’t quite see how many there were has interested a few colleagues which is so lovely. A big moment in my best ever year of observing and photographing young birds I believe, I was lucky that I was allowed to take some photos of the young birds today including the sixth and tenth in this photoset. I think the chicks look quite dinosaur like. I saw the Woodpigeons around the nest I have observed a few times by the Hampshire records office and a couple of Woodpigeons in the cathedral grounds today including one with twig in beak which made it a top day of Woodpigeons with their nesting in full swing, I took the third picture in this photoset of a Woodpigeon at the cathedral.

Views of Small White, Banded Demoiselle the other side of the river at Winnall Moors and stunning hemp agrimony, purple loosestrife, vervain and forget-me-not here as well as bees well liking the hemp agrimony were key insect and flower moments today. I also got a great view of a Common Blue butterfly at Lakeside tonight, and only my second ever and first at home Straw Dot moth in the living room tonight its been great to see a few moths I’d seen before of late and another moth. I took the fifth picture in this photoset of a lone sunflower that looks like its struggling in a hole in the ground in the Winchester Cathedral grounds with the brown grass all around it, symbolic of the current times with the heatwave. I saw bright red cuckoo pint on the way home tonight.

Today I also saw: Feral Pigeon, Blackbird well again in the grounds of the Royal Hampshire regiment museum near St. Thomas Church, Black-headed Gull with a dodgy leg at the cathedral which I took the fourth picture in this photoset of, Collared Dove and Goldfinch seen and heard well on the balcony at home tonight with a Woodpigeon in the shadows of the evening on the roof out the back seen again a Woodpigeon photo bombed a nice sunny scene I photographed on the way home so it really was that species’ day today, Meadow Brown, yarrow, mallow, spider at the office and the station and birds in the reedbeds at Winnall Moors I couldn’t quite see which but possibly Reed Bunting.
