I have given Dor several pair of magic pants.

"What am I supposed to do with these?" Dor asks from the counter they're sitting on with 4 pairs of the magic pants and at least 8 more on the floor below them, which was why they were on the counter for now.

The look down at the ones they're holding "They're cool but I have no idea what do to with them. It's not like I need them."

15/10/22-Blackwater in the New Forest

Nuthatch, Chaffinches and a couple of Crossbills were lovely birds to see on a walk from here this afternoon. An exciting few species, I have had such a good year for seeing Crossbills possibly the most I’ve seen them in a year so it was great to see a couple on a bare tree. I took the third picture in this photoset of one. A Dor beetle crawling over a fallen leaf and moths gliding against trees added some atmosphere to this enchanted woodland walk around an area I know and love.

It was a pleasure to see alongside some people we were speaking to a Fallow Deer on a path. We heard some of these rutting animals barking too which it was great to feel immersed in the forest by. Lovely moments with an iconic New Forest species.

Another led the way in another great fungi walk lately, two little bright red round fly agarics which I took the seventh picture in this photoset of. I feel very lucky that that’s three weekends running I’ve seen and photographed these wonders of autumn in the New Forest one of my favourite mushrooms and interestingly I have taken photos of them with each of my three lenses for my DSLR camera I would normally chose my macro lens for mushrooms but on our walk at Smugglers Road the Sunday before last I didn’t have it with me so used my regular lens and today it was at the end of a shower I saw them so I stuck with the lens I had on my big one rather than going through my bag to get my macro until I was sure it was dry. It was also great to see another set of sulphur tuft on the walk today a key one of last Sunday at Millyford Bridge, false deathcap and other nice ones of white, purple which I took the sixth picture in this photoset of and brown. It was nice to see lichen on the walk too and the moss and white organism in the eighth picture in this photoset. I took the first picture in this photoset of lichen.

Tormentil and hawksbeard type flowers were key plant sightings on the walk as well as thistle leaves I believe. It was so good to take in the pines and other trees on the wider walk, and the wealth of impressive tall and other trees around and in Blackwater Arboretum. I had forgotten how good it is to be here in autumn, with the red and yellow leaves dazzling me. There was one very pretty tree who’s leaves were dripping from green to red which looked so stunning. Such enriching and colourful scenes. And I was reminded what a lovely place it is to just stand still and take in nature too, how peaceful and atmospheric it is. It was good to see others of a variety of people taking this in too. 

Seeing the sun shine brightly as dark clouds built, feel the wind as we walked and a bit of rain on a scenic woodland walk felt so enticing to the power and beauty of nature. I took the second, fourth and fifth pictures in this photoset of views on the walk. A lovely walk.

Shiny Goldfinch on a roof out the back and the yellow and red leaves alongside green still visible from home and sun against dark cloud scenes were nice to see at home this morning too. With more great sky scenes of sunshine and clouds this evening and green and yellow trees lit well by this with a Goldfinch seen on the balcony tonight too. 

Wildlife Sightings Summary: One of my favourite mammals the Fallow Deer, Crossbill and Linnets in a bush nearby which it was great to see too I can’t have seen these two finches on one day often before whilst they can both be seen year round Crossbill is more a winter one for me traditionally and Linnet a spring/summer one, Chaffinch, Nuthatch, Blue Tit, nice red Stonechat, lots of Robins and Blackbirds, Woodpigeon, Grey Squirrel, Dor beetle, moth and a nice bee.

XOXO, SING ME TO SLEEP

characters. neuvillette x gn!reader genre. domestic romantic fluff. an. MORE melusine daddy content. head empty thoughts only neuvillltetnjrelkrklentlkgnmvl f,ds | please reblog!! im getting back into writing and reblogs with tags and comments will make me want to write more :D

as mother and twitch streamer ecelare.tv once said. parents should find a show to binge while settling a child down

and finding a show to binge is exactly what neuvillette did.

(its gossip girl. he's so invested in season 1. do not spoil the rest of the seasons in the comments because ying is still watching season 1)

neuvillette now brings his tablet in with him to the melusine's room each time its his turn to settle them down...

its so contradictory its hilarious. serena and blair are fighting while little puca, iara and mela are about to doze off.

sometimes, neuvillette gets too invested in the plot..

"oh. the girls are fighting." he whispers, hoping the children can't hear him

little iara sleepily blinks at him

"the girls are fighting, papa?" she asks quietly, rubbing her eyes.

"go back to sleep, ma poupette." he apologises and runs his hand through her hair, the sound of her breathing the only sound now in the room. gossip girl has been silenced. serena and blair are now reduced to lipsyncing upper east siders

"papa? i can't sleep." the tired, frustrated voice mela breaks the silence of the room – as well as neuvillette's concentration on the little tablet screen in front of him.

"well, what can i do to make it better, angel?" he peers down at her, bending down to her eye level from her bed.

"sing, papa?" mela begs, resting her head on her pillow once again.

"you want me to sing? darling, i can't promise you that i'll sound very good," he chuckles. nevertheless, an attempt is heard throughout the room – a soft, sweet, fontainian lullaby.

"Bonne nuit cher trésor, Ferme tes yeux et dors, Laisse ta tête s’envoler, Au creux de ton oreiller, Un beau rêve passera, Et tu l’attraperas, Un beau rêve passera, Et tu le retiendras."

"Good night, dear treasure. Close your eyes and sleep, let your head fly away in the hollow of your pillow. A beautiful dream will pass, and you will catch it. A beautiful dream will pass, and you will remember it."

little mela falls asleep as the last notes fade out, his gentle humming setting the rhythm of his fingers that found their place, running through mela's hair.

"good night, papa."

"good night, ma fée."

i know nothing of french all of this was google. thank u to the people who commented in the other post who gave tips on french!!

♪ — 𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗘𝗦 charles leclerc x wife! reader (fluff) “. . . feeling the pressure from this season's finale, charles turns to you.”

( general master list | more of charles leclerc ) ( requests | taglist )

"I want to hear you play on the violin?" "You want to hear me play my violin?"

"Yes." "But I've been practicing on the piano. Don't you want to hear what artistry I have come fourth with." You giggled, a melody sent from the heavens during this frustrating time.

"Chérie, have mercy on my heart." [darling] To say that Charles was anxious was an understanding. The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Where Charles can either lose the race, or become world champion. Very stressful, since the race was in an hour and his wife wasn't there to hug him and brush his curls like he liked.

"Mon Dieu, relax." [my god] You chuckled as you sat the phone on speaker, getting situated at you and Charles' ( mostly charles' ) grand piano. Charles muttered a small prayer as you laughed at him, staring at the keys.

And as you hit the first note, Charles closed his eyes gulping. "Un, deux, trois, quatre. Cinq, six, sept, huit." [one, two, three, four. five, six, seven, eight.] "Neuf, dis-moi, où es-tu ce soir?" [nine, tell me, where are you tonight?] Your voice rang through his head as he relaxed, sinking into his chair, adjusting his headphones.

"Quatre, trois, deux, un. Zéro, puis toi. Tu ne viens jamais plus me voir." [four, three, two one. zero, then you. you never come to see me again.] No wonder you chose this song, the music coming from the piano was minimal ( which was good cause you didn't want to mess up and make Charles fuss over the mistakes, ditch the race to fly over and correct you ).

"Un, duex, trios, sept. Vois-je par la tête? Mes draps sont nus quand t'es pas là." [one, two, three, seven. can I see through my head? my sheets are bare when you're not around.] But he was grateful none the less. He found your voice to be his cure. The world outside his headphones blurring and fading out as he basked to your remedy.

"Quinze, vingt, puis cent. Sans le dire tout haut. T'as quand même retiré tes bras." [without saying it out loud. you still took your arms away.] And when it came time to race, and he had ended the call with you so you can watch the race and he get ready. Your voice was still there, singing for his soul.

"Et moi, je bois. Je dors, je fane. Comme les tulipes du jardin." [and me, I drink I sleep, I fade. like the tulips in the garden.] Your voice was still there when he went to his designated spot the starting line, p2. With Verstappen on pole, he would be stressed or frustrated. But he was odly calm. He already knew the outcome of the race.

"Je veux t'avoir. Tout contre moi. Comme une jolie robe de satin." [i want to have you. all against me. like a pretty satin dress.] A blessing you were. Because for the first time, Charles had won the Driver's Champion chip. And he wouldn't thank anyone else but you for that.

A night full of celebration for Ferrari.

A night for Charles, you, and his unborn son to remember.

"You could be a singer." He teased, greeting you at the door with a smile and a warm hug. No celebration or alcohol anyone offers him can beat the happiness he feels when dancing with you out in the balcony.

[oneanimalpictureaday]

Geotrupes stercorarius is a species of earth-boring dung beetle, common name Dor. I found this one on a walk south of France I believe. (Sorry @onenicebugperday calling on your knowledge yet again, there are way too many dung beetles and this one being all smooth at the back makes me unsure)

Whether I’m right about the ID or not, let’s have a fact from animalfunfacts: What Do Dor Beetles Eat? They like to eat what we want to get rid of as quickly as possible: feces. Dung (feces from herbivores), to put it more exactly. In most cases it is not completely digested and, in addition to grass eaten by horses, cows, rabbits, etc., contains a liquid with the little organisms the beetles like so much. The common dor beetle particularly appreciates cow and horse dung. It mostly spends its evenings flying about in the proximity of those animals and waiting for some food to “fall down”. Some dor beetles also feed on fungi or humus.

Destiny and Future

Hellboy x Reader

Summary: You arrived at the church as all hell break lose outside, literally

"RED!" the voice caught everyone's attention in the church. You barged in and the scene in front of you shocked you, to say the least. 

"Just what in the seven shades of FUCK is going on here?!" you yelled as you saw the Professor, dead, as Alice was projecting him. He offered you a smile that told you, you just arrived on time.

"He is fulfilling his destiny and no one will be able to stop him." Nimue, the woman in front of him said.

"Oh, okay, and here I thought it was the end of the world." you let out a huff, obviously being sarcastic.

"You left." Hellboy spoke as he was now fully turned towards you. His words felt like fire and ice at the same time. A shiver ran down your spine as you looked at him.

"I tried to find my parents... took me so long to realize that while I was looking for my past, my present and future ran right past me, and I lost you. I'm so sorry, Red. I caused you way too much pain with my selfishness. I wasn't there for you when Ruiz passed, I wasn't there for you before or after and I regret it deeply. But this is not you, Red. I know you, this is not who you are, I mean come on a fire crown? Really?" you took a spet towards him, everyone watching you closely. 

"Do not listen to her. She is lying! She played with your feelings, she just doesn't want you to fulfil your destiny."

"Slithering like a snake I see." you commented as she gave you a look. 

"I'll kill you." she moved towards you, with intentions to murder you but Hellboy grabbed her arm.

"No one touches My Kitten." he said before he chopped her head off. One clean cut.

Then you were attacked by something from your right, and before you could dodge it, it made you fly and land against a pillar, making your back hurt and as you hit your head, you passed out.

When you woke up you were in a very familiar room, Red's room.

You smiled as you saw him sitting by your side.

"How are you feeling?" he asked as you woke up.

"Like I was just thrown against a pillar and blacked out. Can you kill the light please? My head is throbbing." you asked as you covered your eyes. Hellboy did as you told him and turned the lights off, only a small light illuminating the room so it's not pitch black. 

He didn't say a word. Although you knew he wanted to say many many things, he didn't speak.

"Red... I'm sorry about your father."

"Yeah."

"But I'll never leave you again, I promise. Not even when you will yell at me for being annoying." he smiled.

"I'm sorry you didn't find what you were looking for."

"Don't be silly, I found it years ago when I met you, I just didn't realize." you sat up against the pillows as he moved to sit next to your leg on the bed. "I feel bad, I spent most of our relationship trying to find my past."

"Well, you are doing it again, you are focusing on what happened instead of the future." you looked into his golden eyes. 

"You are right it's just that I feel really bad about it. I understand why you'd feel like I played with your feelings. But I never lied, I do really love you, Red." 

"I know. I love you too." he leaned over and placed a kiss on your lips. 

Throughout your relationship with him, this was the first time you felt truly free and happy. 

"So... Excalibur and... fire crown?" you laughed as he groaned but didn't say anything.

From that day on, no more looking into the past, from that day on, all that mattered was the future, your future with him.

[ninjigma]

Part 3/7 - Previous / Next / First

Track: ‘Soldiers’ - Otherwise

Wolffe didn’t understand what was happening when Plo Koon was suddenly handing him his lightsaber. And he still couldn’t quite put the pieces together when he noticed Cody go flying through the air under Padawan Tano’s guiding force. But he definitely understood the tightness of fear in his chest when Rex and Cody ran directly at the Sith Lord who had just beaten one of the strongest Jedi he knew to exist.

“Son,” Plo Koon's voice cut through Wolffe's fear, a sense of calm in his storm, and dragged Wolffe back to the Kel Dor and his offered saber. “Your family needs you.”

Wolffe's world shifted to an odd halt as he considered what was happening. Thoughts that haunted him flooded through him, bit at the edges of his mind with doubt. What was he going to do? What could he ever do?

Wolffe has felt useless before, has lost everything in an instant. He has watched his brothers die often enough to wade constantly in hopelessness. And he remembers fruitlessly hugging his brothers close when they were all just cadets, wishing for an option other than the trials for war. There were so many times Wolffe, the supposed strong and intimidating commander he was, had only felt pointless and worthless. So many times he had cried to the galaxy to give them all something to hope for, something to make all the pain worth it.

And yet, Wolffe realized in a bright instant, he always had it. In his stillness he remembered how Plo Koon called him son, and meant it as much as Wolffe did calling Plo his Buir. How after each battle he would come back to the 104th and be greeted with just as much warmth from his brothers as respect, finding strength in each other. That at the end of the day, it was his family that had always kept him fighting, striving to stay hopeful and survive. It always had been and always will be his family that makes this life worth living, and he would do anything and everything to keep it that way.

Wolffe locked eyes with Plo Koon for a moment just long enough to convey everything he knew the Jedi could already see clearly. And as the world came crashing back to him he took the saber without an ounce of hesitation.

The Mari Lwyd Twitter saga (2020 - part three)

This is part of my efforts to transcribe @seananmcguire's holiday Mari Lwyd Twitter threads. The hashtag for now is #Mari Lwyd Project, the first post is here, the thread's source is here.

(Many thanks to @dor-min on finding and linking this one!)

There are a couple from this year that are short, and even single replies that Seanan likely didn't have time to reply to. So this is their collection! Authors will be linked in their comments as best I can.

CW for food, just in case.

Lorcan Murphy (Twitter): Alas were I only a mutual, Mari Lwyd I'd offer rhymes crucial. We'd barter o'er offering asked unpredictable Afore presenting a demanded varietal victual The dead from the living must bide dividual But this rhyme for the horse is purely volitional.

Seanan: Your rhyming's exquisite, So clean and refined. I'll grant you a visit, To seek cheese with rind, Or cheese that's been softened, Or processed or plain... When Mari Lwyd's summoned, She sings her refrain.

Cheese or beer! Cheese or beer! I know that you have it here!

Lorcan: Alas all my beer has been spilt in a pan And as unlikely it seems, my cheese melted and ran My flour and yeast in the oven to bake So I'm terrible short of scran you can take Bide if you can, I'll no make it a habit and I'll offer a pretzel and Welsh-German rabbit

---

Cassandra Khaw (Carrd / Twitter): A single wedge of manchego I do possess, Not a wedge nor a morsel more than that, If I was someone who had cheese in excess, I'd offer them to you, and have all your desires.

But lo, you bony equine, Such is all I can give: This lonely cheese of mine, I offer in tithe.

Seanan: To give when there's plenty Is glorious kind: But it's kinder by far When you've little but rind.

I am grateful to you, On this shortest of days, For your holiday spirit And generous ways.

---

The singles!

(I'm posting peoples' handles as I see them, will do my best here. If someone rhymed or made poetry and I couldn't find a 'do not repost' on their profile, I included it.)

John & Bucky: I’m just here to watch A skeletal horse seeking Cheese and wine through rhyme

Stephanie Annand: Alas! For the lack! Of cheese in my home; Will you accept yogurt As onward you roam?

Eleri: I have some ok parm, and a generic swiss A really good chevre would not go amiss This stupid pandemic has cut into my cheese-buying I'm afraid sharing these cheeses, the dead horse would send me flying.

Paige Wolf: Cheese and spiced wine You’ll definitely find; In my kitchen, I’ll fill up your cup!

Come in please, my friend! Time we will spend, In drinking and singing, Bottoms up!

warcabbit: Wassail, wassail? I give you mulled ale and a nice nutty cheese to boot.

It is the season Be kind without reason And generous with gifts and loot.

Stephanie Caitlyn: I do not have cheese, I only have curry, For when I did leave, It was in quite a hurry.

Into the headlights I peer like a deer, But with you I gladly will share my paneer.

Starry_Marie: I know there are many With rhymes that are better But one thing I do have - A large chunk of cheddar

@Chimaera.bsky.social: Oh Mare, at thy feet I lay Some Caveman Blue and olives today. Cambezola roasted with garlic cloves, Squeezed upon fine grilled bread loaves. A bit of Brie to melt your heart, A nutty Parm to fuel your start, Melted Gruyère to dip things in, & Queso fresco (you're looking thin)

Cake and Arsenic: Oh mari lywd, please don't feel down, With your big boney head, in your white cotton shroud, For you'll find that my larder is stocked full of cheese, And you're welcome to come and eat all that you please.

JLH: (not a mutual, but it seems fun and kinda inspired me) Dread equine I hear your call! And in my larder is a prize, A piece of asiago for your skeletal maw Please accept my gift and silence your cries.

Jaune: You wanna be Vale, Whitley?

Whitley: Die Tatsache, dass Sie Atlas nicht zuerst angeboten haben, zeugt von bemerkenswerter Sensibilität.

Sun: Let's go, Atlas! Ich bin ein Manteller!

Whitley: Lache jetzt. Das nächste Zeitalter gehört uns.

---------------------------------------------------

Whitley: Arrêt!

Ruby: You speak Old Valian?

Whitley: J'ai appris pour toi. Mais il est trop tard pour vous faire part de mes sentiments. Je maudis ma foutue timidité.

Whitley: Tu es ma première pensée quand je me réveille et dans mes rêves quand je dors. Si j'étais un homme plus audacieux, je donnerais n'importe quoi pour nous envoyer sur la lune.

Ruby: (About to cry)

Whitley: Mais j'arrive trop tard.

Ruby: Non! (Grabs him, Kisses him)

Whitley: (But I am too late.)

How would the griffin au rescue team and bots react to Cody being half griffin?(if I'm right)

... oh. I haven't revisited that AU in a long time... and it's been a long time XD

Dor what I remember that I have planned...

Frankie is the first one to find out that something is happening to Cody (they both didn't know that Cody was turning into a Griffin, only that his human body was getting animal parts) and she tries her best to help and keeps the secret until I believe the episode Skyforest where Frankie's invention turned into a more dangerous monster.

In there it was also going to be revealed that Frankie can use magic and that Priscilla is a mermaid.

As for how the Bots react, they would be very protective. As, after learning that Cody can turn into a Griffin they also learn that Cody gets into an invaluable ton of pain when he transforms and all the scars and bits he got while learning about his abilities.

Thought they also got interested because... Cody is no longer human??

Boulder likes to pet and brush Cody's feathers. The kid is big enough for the Bots to hold him and put him on his shoulders like a little parrot hahahaa

Blades worry a lot since birds and lions are not the same as humans. Chase shares this idea too, so they both do a lot of research about Griffins and other animals to take better care of Cody. Blades also consider helping Cody with his wings and teaching him how to fly.

Heatwave is angry as he doesn't know what to do or how he could let this sleek on his radar. He helps Cody all he can and keeps him close to his chest at night as Cody tends to transform when he sleeps leaving his bed torn to shreds.

Chapter summary: Talia joins the Wolfpack as their new medic

Chapter 1

There it was. The Triumphant. You looked at it for a moment before getting on and headed straight for the medbay. After their old ship had gotten attacked and blown up with only the general and three clones surviving, the 104th had to start all over. You had felt bad for them so when you heard that they were looking for another medic to join their batallion you took a leap of faith. Now here you stood in the brand new medbay looking at all the shiny new equipment that the republic had provided for you and whoever you would be working with. You looked around at everything and all of it made you excited to be here. After everything you've been through finally led you here. You deserve it. You were looking at one of the pieces of equipment when a clone came into the room. "Excuse me ma'am?" You turned around as he had startled you a little bit and you quickly composed yourself. "I'm sorry. I didn't hear you come in." The clone put down the supplies he was holding and walked up to you. The clone had pink hair and a nose piercing that you were sure made him stand out. Then again many clones changed things up once they left Kamino. "Civilians aren't allowed in here." You stood your ground as he stood in front of you. "I'm your new medic actually. I just wanted to look around." The clone looked surprised. He obviously wasn't expecting someone like you. "Ah. My apologies. I just wasn't expecting a..um." "a woman?" The clone rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment. "Yeah. Sorry." Now you were embarrassed and started to feel insecure. He quickly realized what he was doing and started to apologize. "I'm sorry if I'm making you uncomfortable. I knew I was getting another medic. I just didn't know it would be a female medic. But, I'm glad you're here. This battalion could use a feminine touch. And I'm sure once you meet them the others will like you too." You felt a little better at his words but you were still a little embarrassed. "I'm..sure I'll like them too. Umm..do you by chance know where the barracks are? I just wanted to drop my things off and get settled." "Right. Of course. I can actually show you where they are. And here. Let me take that for you." He points to your bag and you hand it over to him. "Thanks…" "Jax." "Jax. That's a nice name." "Thanks. Come on. I'll show you where you'll be staying."

On the way to your quarters Jax showed you around and explained what the 104th does. "So basically we perform relief and recovery missions. We go in after a battle or disaster and we help the locals get back on their feet. We provide food, clothing, medical aid and whatever else they need. It's nothing special really." "So we won't be fighting or anything?" "For the most part. But if another battalion needs assistance and no one else is available then the republic sends us." “Right. Sounds easy enough.” As the both of you continued walking you ran into general Plo Koon. Jax stood at attention and saluted him while you stood by. “Sir.” “At ease, Jax.” Jax relaxes but stands just a little bit straighter. The Kel Dor spots you next to Jax and you become a little nervous. One: this the general and you weren’t sure if you should address him or not, Two: you’ve never seen a Kel Dor before but you have read about them, and three: you hated when people stared at you. Especially when it’s someone you don’t know. Being a jedi he must’ve sensed your uneasiness because he gave you a reassuring look. “It’s okay, little one. There’s no need to feel afraid or nervous around me.” You cleared your throat before speaking. “I’m sorry, general.” “There’s no need to apologize. Might I ask for your name?” “I-it’s T-Taila, sir.” You silently cursed yourself. You really had no need to be nervous of the jedi but you just couldn’t help it. Your past has made you very wary of new people. If he had sensed that you were becoming more uneasy he didn’t mention it. “It’s very nice to meet you, Talia.” Thalia gathered up her courage and acknowledged the general. “It’s nice to meet you too, sir.” The Kel Dor turned back to Jax. “Were you showing her where she’ll be staying?” “Yes, sir.” “If I may, I'll take her there.” “Yes, sir.” Jax saluted once more then handed you your bag and went back to the medbay as you followed the Kel Dor. The both of you stayed silent as you walked to where the civilian quarters were and you were honestly thankful for it. You reached a room and you stopped in front of it. “Here you are.” Plo Koon opened up the door and you stepped inside. You quickly looked around then turned to the jedi. “I don’t understand? Shouldn’t I be with the others?” “My dear, you are the only woman on this ship and you deserve to have your privacy. This is your room. Do with it what you please.” “T-thank you, sir.” “You are quite welcome, little one. I’ll leave you to get settled.” As soon as he left you turned back around and looked at your room. It had a simple bed, a desk for you to work at, and a private fresher. It wasn’t much but then again you didn’t need anything fancy. You set your bag down on the floor by your desk and plopped down onto the bed. This was your life now. You would be assisting in helping people who have gone through a traumatic experience get back on their feet and quite frankly you wouldn’t have it any other way. You lied down as exhaustion caught up to you and before you knew it you were fast asleep.

Sorry for the short chapter. Future ones will be much longer

KELDEORIN'YAA WORD OF THE DAY

HASSANTEGAR - Lightning bat; pigeon - sized flying animal resembling a downy Azhdarchid pterosaur that frequently swarms in huge numbers as storms approach.

These little guys are tiny and eyeless; the entire top of their head is a single smooth-domed sensory horn that functions much as the melon of a porpoise does - sensing things like sonar pulses, electromagnetic charges, kinetic orienting info (like our inner ear chambers do) and barometric fluctuations. On a world where the force thrives, they too are force attuned like many of the Kel' Dor. A plus for them - and maybe one of the reasons evolving eyeless happened to them. (After all, the eyes can deceive). Nobody's sure.

Their vivid coloration is a puzzle. They cannot see it, and fortunately for them the only large flying predator on Dor'in is also blind. It is thought they were an invasive species from the Gand world in ages past.

1st October 2022- Bolderwood in the New Forest and home: Blog 1 of 2-The fungi, flowers, wildlife and story of the day 

We came to Bolderwood today mostly to look for mushrooms especially fly agaric, my favourite mushroom or at least my original favourite as there are a few I am really fond of now that inspires and captivates me like no other. And I was thrilled to see a few of them in the rich birch woodland at the start of the walk from the Canadian War Memorial car park. Shining like rubies on the forest floor it was amazing to take in their divine colour and white spots. It was smashing to see these, there is always a strong sense of fulfillment to see these in an autumn and it’s relieving to see some early on this autumn and this fungi season. It feels almost as though it’s the start of the mushroom season in earnest for me I have seen and photographed a few so far but this is the first big species I’ve seen for me really and the rest of the walk certainly felt like a curtain raiser of my fungi year. This is such a New Forest specialty too which it was thrilling to see. I saw a nice brown one too which I had always assumed were fly agaric but I found out via the Seek from iNaturalist app it’s panthercap. A very pretty one to see. I took the third picture in this photoset of one of the fair few fly agaric we found. 

On a successful fungi watching walk today of more surprise was another I am looking for lately that thrive especially on the green out the front at home, some shaggy ink caps stood beside the banks of a stream as though riverside castles on a hill. It was great to see these scattered across the grass at different stages from the white sealed ones to the ones showing the inky substance including the two side by side, and there was one you could even see in the white stage but its case broken so you could see inside the stem that will hold the mushroom when fully out which was fascinating I took the ninth picture in this photoset of this one and eighth of another. I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen shaggy ink caps not at home which was nice. We saw some other top mushrooms of different sizes on the walk which was great, there were especially some lovely brown ones. I took the fifth and seventh pictures in this photoset of some. 

Tormentil, hawksbeard, bits of thistle, foxgloves leaves I believe as the sixth picture in this photoset shows and wood sage leaves mixed with nice purple heather that I enjoyed today in the woods and in the open heath made it an interesting floral walk. Seeing bracken with a little yellow leaf on top of it made a great sight too I took the fourth picture in this photoset of this. I am enjoying leaves a lot lately.

Fauna wise a Grey Wagtail on some water, stunning Swallow in the air I am really making the most of them being here now going into October and a rustic view of a Kestrel on a bare tree the other side of the road at the end were avian highlights of the walk. A Stonechat illuminated by the sunlight was beautiful to take in too. It was nice to see a couple of Speckled Wood butterflies floating through the air. A Southern Hawker dragonfly flying close at the edge of the woods and heath provided electric views, and it was nice to see a caterpillar well and a shining Dor beetle again lately. In a strong areas for them it was joyful to watch Fallow Deers in the woods, deep in bracken and a herd moving across the path these were such precious views. We saw a hornet well too I’ve seen a fair few of them this year and I saw Woodpigeon. I also enjoyed some New Forest ponies under a tree and it was amazing to see some more pigs out for pannage in the New Forest on the way home some lovely pink ones. A great start to the month. 

At home today I enjoyed seeing fuchsia including a berry of it I took the first two pictures in this photoset of this cherished red and white plant in the garden in nice sun, hebe and a brightened by the sun dahlia with a White-lipped snail on it which was fascinating to see as well as Black-eyed Susan and purple flowers seen well at home. I really enjoyed seeing Starlings and Goldfinches feeding in the back garden in the evening sunlight, Goldfinches on the balcony feeders and a spider when home this evening. I took the tenth picture in this photoset of two of the Starlings. My next post up shortly mentions the landscape from today with ten landscape photos I took.
