Surprised to see a Goldeneye with 2 ducklings at @durhamwildlife.bsky.social low barns reserve today. The female was making any other birds keep their distance. Brilliant to see.

I voted for the Orange Tip

@rspb.bsky.social First day of no bird feeders, sat in garden now and 3 greenfinches appear, haven't seen any in the garden for over 2 years.

A beautiful spring day, seen my first orange tip butterfly of the year and watched and listened to a stunning male blackcap and saved a toad crossing a busy road. All in all a good restorative day after a hard few weeks. #lowbarns #spring @durhamwildlife.bsky.social

By far the earliest by around 3 weeks I have had butterflies in the garden, lovely to see. @savebutterflies.bsky.social @ukbutterflies.bsky.social

Lovely walk out at Low Barns @durhamwildlife.bsky.social this afternoon. Lots of signs of spring and a much needed mindful reset.

@bumblebeetrust.bsky.social can you help with the id of this bee please?

Help support the rescue mission for #butterflies and moths! 🦋 We've partnered with @savebutterflies.bsky.social to call for #butterfly-killing synthetic #pesticides to be removed from supermarket and garden centre shelves. Find out more in our blog: gardenorganic.org.uk/news/rescue-...

Watched this hummingbird hawk moth for 2 hours, it must of went in to every flower on all 4 of my salvias. #moths

Lovely walk around @durhamwildlife.bsky.social Low Barns today

First potato harvest of the year, grown in peat free compost and no pesticides.

A year ago, the best night of my life, in my garden anyway, a sight I doubt I will see again

15 minutes spent up close with this amazing Herring Gull through my hotel room window in Rothesay, what a beautiful curious amazing bird so close up.

Enjoying a few days away on the Isle of Bute, scenery is out of this world. Well worth a visit. #isleofbute #rothesay

Lovely hour spent in the garden tonight, birdsong aplenty. This Blackbird was very busy getting worms and taking them to its nest. A lovely peaceful end to the day.

Lovely few hours from home up to and round the derwent reservoir this afternoon. Pied flycatcher, redstart the highlights along with hearing a cuckoo and seeing some bluebells.

Lovely day in the garden, 4 species of butterfly, lots of bees and a dark edged bee fly. #pollinators #gardens

My first butterfly of the year at rspb saltholme

Lovely few hours at @nationaltrust.bsky.social Wallington in Northumberland

First bee of the year in my garden, unsure which species @bumblebeetrust.bsky.social #bees #crocus #springishere

#rspbgardenbirdwatch @rspb.bsky.social nice hour spent staring out of the front window to do the count, 50 birds in total of 10 species

Northern lights from my back yard in Consett. Visible on phone only at present.

Happy with my home grown potatoes harvested today. I didn't think they would work at this time of year. Red duke of yorks and pentland javelin, planted in september.

More than 4 out of 10 insect species face extinction. Others are declining badly. We can help in our gardens and community spaces by not being too tidy, planting nectar-rich flowers & trees, and not using weedkillers and pesticides. More: bit.ly/2FCEJYz

#wildflowerhour seen these on a walk in Chester-le-Street today. I don't know their names.

Lovely visit to Durham over the weekend. #lovewhereyoulive #durham #ukcities #northeast

I never posted much on the 'other platform' this feels so different, more accepting, more welcoming, less hateful and judgemental. I hope it stays like this. I aim to post more...gardening, nature, cooking related I imagine..oh and athletics! A random mix of my introverted life.

I wonder if my unseasonable lupin will survive the snow next week? #gardening #flowers
