Although I have neglected my website for the sake of finishing my latest book, The Naturalist at Home, doesn’t mean I have only been sitting at home. Over the summer I visited a mountain river that I return to each year. But this year it was particularly hot when I visited, even up in the mountains, so I spent a lot of time sitting not only alongside the river, but in the river where I watched the various invertebrates such as water striders and wolf spiders. Along the river dragonflies and butterflies flew back and forth.
