Fabulous article about #science, #conservation, experimentation, results, + change. How we understand the diversity, necessity, and loss of native #bees is a campaign of my 💛. Do what you can to learn about the 🐝s and 🌿s native to your area + enjoy planting a #garden just for them! #entomology

A couple of young Oystercatchers on Redcar beach, practicing that weird walk they do whilst making loud peeps. It’s clearly a very serious and important business, but I always find it funny to watch. (Watercolour painting.) 🪶🐡 #birdingNorthEast

Good morning. I’m curious, for authors and author/illustrators - what’s your process when it comes to writing? Do you have a set time to write each day or is it more organic? Do you have a regimen? What works for you? I’m so scatterbrained & can’t seem to focus. Any suggestions would be awesome. 👍
