#30dayswild Day 22 - a Silver Y moth, with fast fluttering wings, and sleeping flowers.

Elvers, lots of them. In 18 years of regular walks along the Dee at Banchory this is the first time I've seen eels in the river. Usually this wee pool is full of salmon small fry at this time of year. BTW a salmon parr puts in an appearance (bottom left) in the last second. #30DaysWild

Honeysuckle at Dunstall Park, Wolverhampton #30DaysWild @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social @ecorecord.bsky.social

Long-tailed Tit at Lakeside at lunch time. Also good to see Blue Tit, Great Spotted Woodpecker and Great Crested Grebe. #30DaysWild #Birds #UKWildlife

Time to hold my breath for 2 hours... 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚽️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Stinging beauty. 💚 #30DaysWild

Day 24 #30DaysWild Book of the Day is by Fiona Matthews and @timkendall70.bsky.social. Black Ops and Beaver Bombing is an absolute delight. Superbly constructed, informative, thought provoking, personal but not memoir, and stuffed with good awful jokes, telling the story of British mammals.

There's a lot of walking in my list for #30DaysWild book a day. For Day 23 it is up the A1 aka 'The North Road' by @robcowen.bsky.social because it was definitely outdoors and a wild ride for this reader which has helped me read many layered landscapes better.

Day 23 #30dayswild - definitely a day to be under trees, they make such a difference in the heat! This cream-spot ladybird caught my eye - don't think I've seen one before. (nurture our trees 🌳🌳🌳 + keep everything cooler 💚)

#30DaysWild Day 23: My #Aldi wildflower bed is continuing to show more colour. Was surprised how vocal the birds were when I ventured outside in this afternoon's extreme heat to take this photo.

I love the colour of these Honesty seed pods #30DaysWild

I wish I could share the beautiful smells of the morning garden with you. The sun has been up for about 4 hours, just right for teasing out the aromas. 💚 #30DaysWild

#30DaysWild now matching the wildlife spotting to the #knitting. Hypericum (St John’s Wort) and St John’s Wort lace stitch

Galls are abnormal growths of plant tissues which can be caused by a number of parasites, including viruses, fungi and insects! Have you seen any galls? #BeCurious #ScienceIsEverywhere #30DaysWild #DrJoScience

Day 22 #30DaysWild is a book in the sense you can read a guide (eg by Richard Peace) or a map or @imcmillan.bsky.social's poem but best of all, get on the Transpennine Trail itself.

Good morning from Stempster! This is a part of the garden which is full of bugs in all their stages because they - like us - love herbs and veg! We use no chemicals to get rid of things, but the birds help us out. 💚 #30DaysWild

Day 20 #30DaysWild Book of the Day @shimellprints.bsky.social's Trees in Winter, for all those whose heart quails beyond midsummer. Beauty awaits!

Today's #30DaysWild Book of the Day (19) is by Richard Mabey, one of our great writers on the natural world (and often the interface between us, our doings, and it) It's The Accidental Garden in which he negotiates older age and raises the intriguing thought that he is becoming more plant-like.

A Candy-striped Flatworm for day 19 #30DaysWild While this species is exclusively marine, an ever growing number of flatworms – mostly alien – are found in Britain’s terrestrial habitats. Hugh Jones shared a roll-call of land-dwelling species in www.britishwildlife.com/article/arti...

#30dayswild Day 19 - lovely young stoat took a good look at us, and didn't seem to realise he was meant to run away from people and dogs. #woolercommon

Day 19 #30dayswild - I love a green path and mini tree tunnel 🌳

My #30DaysWild pack finally arrived yesterday. I'd lost the impetus with it (and crazy madness), but this has jolted me back into the hashtag. So here are a couple of pictures from the days I've missed. Butterflies, orchid, oak, and harvest. #Caithness #Scotland

Good morning from Stempster. Last night's result might not have been great but this morning's sunshine more than makes up for it. 💚 #Caithness #Scotland

Good evening from Stempster! 💚

Day 8, #30DaysWild. Jackdaw outside @theul.bsky.social.

Day #8 #30DaysWild A ‘murder’ of well-over a hundred carrion crows on Nottingham’s Forest recreation ground today. That’s a lot of crows!! And proof that nature will take advantage wherever opportunity knocks. @nottswildlife.bsky.social

#30DaysWild Day 8: at dawn this morning a hedgehog was visiting my hedgehog feeding station

#30dayswild Day 8 - visited my 102 year old aunt and admired her glorious wildflower lawn.

Day 8 #30dayswild 6 ducklings out and about with mum (well-camouflaged against the bank) + feathers everywhere as the annual mallard duck moult takes place (such an amazing colour on this feather) 🪶🦆🐤

#30DaysWild A Book A Day. Another wet day for Day 8, perhaps it is time to call upon the Summer anthology edited by @mzharrison.bsky.social

Sycamore keys, gooseberries, a secret rainbow, and a bog orchid. These are little #30DaysWild gifts after a very hectic - albeit very good! - day. #Caithness #Scotland #FarNorth

#30DaysWild A Book A Day. It's Day 7 and @thestreettree.bsky.social's glorious endeavour Treehunting, compiling information and images of a thousand individual trees for you to seek out for yourselves

NEW OPEN ACCESS E-BOOK: 'Roman Camps in Scotland' by @drbecjones.bsky.social Our 20th open access e-book will be of interest to those who wish to know more about the archaeology of the Roman army, its campaigns in northern Britain and the ancient military mind: www.socantscot.org/news/new-ope...

Day 5 #30DaysWild Waited until 22:16 last night to get my best wild moment of the day for @30DaysWild yesterday but it was definitely worth it! @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social #Badger #BritishWildlife #Nature #Wildlife #Cairngorms

Absolutely no idea who these little fellows are, but they have taken over one of the gooseberry bushes! #30DaysWild 🐛

Fallow Deers at Bolderwood in the New Forest today. Also nice to see Muntjac, Grey Wagtails, Chaffinches, Mistle Thrush and hear Firecrest. #30DaysWild #Mammals #UKWildlife

#30DaysWild A Book A Day Day 5. Continuing with the riverine theme, but adding a dollop of Marmite: Is a River Alive? @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social

After spending all day yesterday looking for moths to photograph, this one found me today! #30DaysWild

#30DaysWild A Book A Day Day 4 Set to be a wet day so how about a water-themed book? Walking the Wharfe: An Ode to a Yorkshire River by Johnno Ellison

As the #30DaysWild prompt is moths today, perhaps someone can help me to identify this handsome and very hairy soul. Maurice was not spotted today, but last year. But despite trying to match him (or her, I'm not sure!) to an ID guide or ten, I still can't work out what they were. #Moths

I walk this route most days, sometimes more than once a day, past the old millpond and down to the burn. Sometimes it takes me about 20 minutes, depending on who I meet. Here I've condensed it into 60 seconds. #30DaysWild #Caithness #Wildflowers

#30DaysWild A Book A Day Day 3: @hannahbournetaylor.bsky.social Nature Needs You. An innocent on a swift saving mission throws herself into the mincer of the political process. Awe-inspiring, compelling and exasperating at all her reversals of fortune.

Today has been misty and rainy, so no great opportunity for photographs. So here's a couple from yesterday... #30DaysWild #Caithness 💚

Day 1 #30DaysWild What a way to start June! The last couple of years has been an ongoing project to increase biodiversity in the garden. Last night couldn’t believe that this pine martin visited our Inverness town centre garden @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social #Nature @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social

#30DaysWild A Book A Day. Last year for Day 2 I suggested @guyshrubsole.bsky.social's excellent The Lie of the Land, this year for Day 2 it's The Lie of the Land by Ian Vince on geology.
