I have recently realised how little I know about my enviroment. I have no plans on becoming an enviromentalist, but I aim to increase my knowledge of the world around me. Its far more interesting than politics!

Oh well that is two new reptiles in my knowledge bank.
I never even realised we had turtles wild in the uk.
I have heard of wildlife and fungi since we moved here. Which I never knew existed. How do I feel about this? Sad I think. I am also very glad, I have a great chance now to fill this hole in my knowledge… ohh more study!
Squamanita pearsonii
“John Harold had to consult an expert to find out it was “Squamanita pearsonii,” commonly known as Strathy Strangler.”
