Empusa pennata (Conehead mantis or "little devils" as we call them in French) on my @naturetrek_wildlife_holidays tour in Andalucia. Cool critters! Getting lost in a hidden mountain valley with our group today. 🚌 Fabulous spring plants 🌸 and scenery in Southern Spain 🇪🇸 Flamingo flypast was definitely a highlight of this tour to Andalucia! Such magnificent creatures... Springing towards spring 🐝 And...breathe. @cnfbiodiversum The distinctive "three fingers" of Saxifraga tridactylites, one of my favourite spring "weeds". A tiny plant that grows on walls and rocky paths, so tiny that it rarely gets noticed. But it is rather cute...🌱 Giving a talk at Kew Gardens on Monday was the perfect excuse for a visit to some of its fine inhabitants. The Lucombe Oak is probably my favourite, planted in 1773. Odd to think this tree is older than the French revolution! 🌳 Fiery. Like a fluffy, honey-scented golden pillow. 🌼 A taste of the South of France, fresh from @lacollinedesmimosas 💛
