Half a frigging billion years old
On Salisbury Plain yesterday we came across these fairy shrimps, living in a temporary pond formed by the ruts of tank tracks. These endangered critters have been on Earth for about half a billion years (Upper Cambrian) and have a really interesting life cycle. The Plain – which we’re increasingly digging I tell ya – is a stronghold apparently. OK, so now we gotta build a pond over the winter.

In the meantime here’s a pic from a couple of days ago from a barrow just south of the totally cosmically located Chilcombe hillfort in Dorset. Big sarsen on top too – part of the original structure?
