On Saturday 30th January we attended the first online Moth Recorders’ Meeting of 2021, organised by Butterfly Conservation and chaired by Dr. Richard Fox. This online event provided a reflective look back on the strange year that had just been, with several of the talks looking at how lockdown and travel restrictions have affected moth recording in the UK. Read our recent blog post for an overview of some of the day's presentations.

Start to Identify Composite Flowers: Daisy, Dandelion, Thistle - February 2021
In this book, Faith Anstey aims to make this difficult family of composite flowers accessible to beginners – even the dandelion look-alikes! It explains exactly what a composite flower is, concentrating on the most abundant species (about 50 in this case) and using linear flowcharts, rather than conventional keys, to separate them.

Vanished Giants: The Lost World of the Ice Age - March 2021
In Vanished Giants, palaeontologist Anthony J. Stuart offers a richly illustrated picture of the world as it was tens of thousands of years ago when woolly rhinos, mammoths, mastodons, sabertooth cats, giant ground sloths, and many other spectacular large animals roamed the planet. Stuart explores the lives and environments of these animals, moving between six continents and several key islands as well as the animals themselves from what we've learned from fossil remains.
