I really recommend the Seek app by iNaturalist for aiding your plant identification.
It uses a combination of your location and a photo taken by your phone camera to work out what you’re looking at. It’s really handy to just pull your phone out of your pocket, point and know what you’re...
Hi @SamanthaLouise
I have copied your message to me and started a thread with it. I am just going in to work, but will come back this evening.
In the meantime, would you be able to add some photos of what you have as it will help us to help you [emoji4]
With a little help from ‘Charles Darwin’ the tortoise, naturalist and TV presenter Chris Packham officially opened the new Joseph Banks laboratories at the University of Lincoln.
As those of us East of the Atlantic Ocean have now reached 2018, I would like to wish everyone on TFO a very Happy New Year.

We have been having a spell of unusually hot weather in the UK and this old girl decided to trot over to England from Wales using the motorway over the River Severn. The bridge is 3 miles long.
It's toll free in that direction -...
We are simply devastated. Joe came out of hibernation this morning and seemed OK but groggy as you would expect.
During this afternoon's soak his head suddenly went floppy. It recovered but we took him straight to our vet.
Sadly an x ray showed a massive tumour. The prognosis is very poor...
Just a suggestion to reduce the forum spam load @Josh
If you blocked http from being part of a thread title, you would thwart the most common spam I see.
It's a pain in the browser version as the link resolves. In the apps, you can just open the thread and report it. However, you could stop...
Every year we get a string of questions about hibernation/brumation and they're all over the place in many forums. And it's clear the 2016 season has begun.
I'd like to suggest a home for these threads either as a stand alone forum or maybe as a subforum of Enclosures or Tortoise Health perhaps?
This one is widely reported in the British press today

Here in the UK the weather isn't always as good as it might be. It's been cold and wet for the last 24 hours, but the sun came out about an hour and a half ago.
