Geranium Bronze - Garachico, Tenerife

Bath White Butterfly (Pontia daplidice), oddly I had only encounter Eastern Bath White previously… so new species for me #Bathwhite #bathehitebutterfly #lepidoptera

I can never get bored of a Clouded Yellow #butterflies #cloudedyellow #tenerife

Sadly I had seconds before I had to get on the coach when I found this species and failed to get a good shot- Canary Blue is endemic to the western Canary Islands. It is quite distinct from all other European species Found throughout the year #butterflies #tenerife #lepidoptera #canaryblue

I failed to see Geranium Bronze in the UK, Greece and Turkey… but finally caught up with some in Tenerife

Great Yarmouth is set to host the biggest neo-nazi music festival in over a decade. The Home Office has the power to block entry of overseas bands, which will scupper the promoters plans. But they won’t act unless we demand it. Email the Home Office now: hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/28/g...

Emergency water of some rare plants… a frog came out to enjoy the water

I’m always surprised that nos have not declined more. I think it might be to do with loss of a few prominent species such as Small Tortoiseshell or maybe a rosy memory of the past. Several sp have also benefitted from climate change, offsetting losses. Still, the declines are steady and serious
