More from the Bittern on ice. It's become a bit of a regular thing for this time of year for me to be able to film these enigmatic birds practicing their ice-skating 😊

Bitterns are famous for their ice-skating abilities - this one may need some extra practice!

A new species for me - a legless Bittern! Never seen one flying before without its legs stuck out the back - can only assume it's a rare sub-species 😀

I led a guided walk at the weekend
@rspbminsmere.bsky.social
that included a family over in the UK from Aus. They were amazed at the beautiful colours showing on some of the ducks outside the hide, they'd never seen anything like it. Sometimes it's necessary to see the commonplace through new eyes

Blowing in the wind, this tiny insect, on a tiny flower is not very obvious for an ID! It's a wasp of some sort I'm sure, possible Ichneumon, anyone get any closer to some sort of species?

Loving this wasps-in-the-media summer! I think the message is shifting… the scare-mongering is finally giving over to a more positive message about wasps and their role in ecosystems. More about why you should love wasps here:

Wasps are back this summer in the UK – a lot of them
Wasps are well-suited to Britain's warm weather so we need to learn to live alongside them, naturalists say.
