For connoisseurs of the F-word, I would point out that Cotgrave is the first appearance in English of the word _fuckwind_, referring to the kestrel.

After the trip to Cotgrave Forest it was good to walk in #AshlawnCuttingLNR my home patch. 2nd Brood Holly Blue and Small Copper have emerged and there's still Silver Washed Fritillary butterflies emerging. Bonus Jay was one of a shady pair!! @warwickshirewt.bsky.social @bcwarwickshire.bsky.social

I sometimes wonder if Randle Cotgrave was able to write dictionary definitions that weren't pure poetry. 'Canadelle: f. The smallest of rock-fishes, beautified with spots of sundry colours, and very good meat.'

A fantastic day in Nottinghamshire with 3 species of Haairstreak at Cotgrave Forest as well as Purple Emperor and Silver Washed Fritillary. @savebutterflies.bsky.social @iansurman.bsky.social Brown was a very exciting discovery :-).

Acting on a tip off from friendly and helpful #butterfly lovers in the East Midlands led me back to Cotgrave Forest . 2 of my favourite species seen in this lovely woodland being sold off in parcels. @savebutterflies.bsky.social @iansurman.bsky.social

‘allège’ as an architectural term refers to the local reduction in the masonry wall below a window
French, meaning a “disburdenment, easement, help towards the bearing of a burthen… any thing that lightens, or lessens a charge” (1650)

As we’ve learnt over the past year, Rushcliffe is about farming and quarrying. In Cotgrave, its different. Cotgrave Colliery was established in the early 1960s with large numbers of miners flocking to the area from other parts of England

I am very happy with seeing Purple Emperor butterflies up close for the first time at Cotgrave Forest, Nottinghamshire. They are absolutely stunning, and the purple really shows at certain angles!
Previously, I have only seen them high up or zooming past me!

🦋 A Silver-washed #Fritillary in #Cotgrave Forest 🦋
One of high summer’s most eye catching woodland butterflies, thriving in sunny rides and sheltered glades.
Powerful flight, rich colour and a great sign of well managed woodland habitat.

✅ The Government has confirmed £6.7 million for active travel in #Nottinghamshire over the next four years, including repairs to the #Radcliffe - #Cotgrave Greenway.
The problem is recognised, the funding is secured. Now we need a clear plan and timeline to reopen this key traffic-free route.

Day off today for a morning foray at Hollygate Memorial Woodlands, Cotgrave. Plenty to see, but I was most excited by the few different Cortinarius species present. Despite how troublesome they are to identify, it might just be my favourite genus.

Attention dictionary collectors, early modernists, etc.: there's a first edition (1611) of Cotgrave's important _Dictionarie of the French and English Tongues_ at auction, with what seems to me to be an absurdly low estimate of $800–1200.
