But What Am I?
Please, please help me… I’m trying to identify what type of insect this is, but I don’t quite know where to begin? Shiny wings. Check. Creepy fuzzy black body. Check check. Enormous antenna. Check check check. But what am I?

Thames Goose
This goose has made a home for itself on the River Thames. It wasn’t overly impressed that we’d chosen that precise moment to disturb its peace.

Robin Waiting
Sticking to my current topic of Robins, here’s another one. This bird was sheltering from the bright sunshine in the boughs of a leafy green tree. It didn’t hang around for long.

Robin One Leg
Look closely and you’ll see that his bird only has one leg. I have no idea what happened to the other, but I can tell you that this bird was bright, lively, and full of the joys of spring.

Life in the Grid
I know this isn’t a 100% natural scene, given the man-made plastic grid that’s in there – but I wanted to include it in this month’s theme nonetheless.

The White Petals
Some more of Mother Nature’s artwork – green on white this time. These delicate petals were definitely enjoying their time in the sun.

Persevere
The NASA robot, Perseverance, is right now searching the surface of Mars looking for signs of water, signs of life. If it’s lucky perhaps it’ll find a scene a bit like this one? I can confirm that this water and these rocks were most definitely found on Earth.
