Magnificent Satyr Tragopan pheasant from the ornithology collection at the NHM, London. The brilliant crimson plumage is decorated with delicate white tiny hearts scattered across its chest. Paired with its deep blue facial features and proud posture, this natural feather pattern looks like nature's own romantic design.

RHS Wisley Gardens near Ripley in Surrey.

A late summer, early autumn walk around the gardens, plus a visit to the Autumn Plant Fair.

Parts of the garden have suffered with the heatwave and drought. It was a shock to see one lake empty and the new reservoir barely half full. Some lovely trees might not survive. Other areas, like the Prairie Meadow and the Piet Oudolf beds, will be fine. The exuberant floral colours of summer have been prematurely replaced by the autumn golds of seed heads and grasses.
