Nine Ladies Dancing

Ladies dancing doesn't immediately make me think of any environment topics but it does make me think of ladybirds and birds. When you put "ladybirds dancing" into a search engine one of the first links is this.

In the first days of January though ladybirds will hopefully all be curled up hibernating, maybe in some nice bug hotels like these on the Buglife website.

The Guardian website is also talking about dancing birds this week. Here they show birds of paradise dancing, it's not quite nine but still very pretty. Have a look, being reminded of the beautiful species in the world has definitely inspired me to think up some green new year's resolutions for the coming weeks and hopefully longer!
