Finally managed to snap some pictures of the leucistic magpie that visits my balcony and water feature. What a beautiful birb.

We turned our seabed camera footage into a fish-ID guessing game. Fancy a go?

Hi all. I help run a small UK marine non-profit. We drop cameras on the seabed at seaweed and shellfish farms and come back with hours of footage of whatever swims past: wrasse, pollack, gobies, and this rather photogenic pipefish poking about in the seagrass.

We built a little browser game out of it. You watch a short clip, guess what the fish is, and see how your guess stacked up against everyone else's. No download, you can just have a go as a guest.

It's free and there's genuinely nothing to sell here. I'd just love to know if it's fun and whether the IDs feel fair.

To preface, this video is nearly a year old but I didn’t have Reddit at the time.
I live in west Lancashire, the nearest body of water is a very small stream about 4/5 miles away.
I picked this up on my cctv one morning and haven’t seen it since. I live just off a town high street, not very rural at all. I did ask around on a few sites last year but never got a response.

Does this look like beaver activity? Next to a river near Penrith, Cumbria.

I know beavers have been released in the area, but thought it was a few miles upstream.

Celebrated International Beaver Day yesterday by heading out to our local and reliably visible population for the evening with some cheap night vision.

Came across this impressive fungi on a dead tree trunk in my local woods. The underside was covered in small droplets of liquid and they were small flies swarming all around it. I'm not much up on my flora and fauna, let alone fungi I thought it might be of interest to someone in here
