This is really helpful re hedgehog homes. After a hedgehog nested & raised her young under a shrub by my patio this summer, I wanted to get a box but there are so many to choose from. I went with the one pictured, which is really well made and the wildlife cam suggests has had an interested hog.

Happy frogspawn in Cornwall Day! (Yes it’s this early every year). @benjyhere.bsky.social

Privet Hawkmoth caterpillar descending an Ash tree to pupate beneath ground. But plastic grass meant it couldn't. Plastic lawns are terrible on every front. Ban them. @irishrainforest.bsky.social @nicwilson.bsky.social @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social @markavery.bsky.social @katebradbury.bsky.social

I'm so pleased to see that One Garden Against the World by @katebradbury.bsky.social has been longlisted for the @wainwrightprize.bsky.social conservation writing prize. 1/3

1. Some people align their morality with the law, and consider breaking it to be immoral, even when the law is oppressive. I point them to my Dutch in-laws, who broke the law by sheltering a Jewish boy, and the Nazi soldiers and Dutch police, whose raids seeking criminals like them upheld the law.🧵

Well that was wonderful. I was inspired, I cried, I got angry at ‘Drone Bastard’ and enjoyed all the local references. Thank you @katebradbury.bsky.social “We can all be weird little gardeners in our pyjamas.”

Five spaces left on the 9.30am Garden Wildlife safari @kneppwilding.bsky.social this Friday - get involved! knepp.co.uk/view/garden-...

Baby seagull has been adventuring this week: can fly down but not up. Spent three days on a neighbour’s garage. Then flew into the road (I managed to catch it and return to my neighbour’s roof. Will prob need to again). Eight weeks old tomorrow. Learn to fly UP baby seagull! 🐣🙈

Treasure!!! @benjyhere.bsky.social @brigitstrawbridge.bsky.social These wool carder bees were hatched as eggs in my bee hotel last year. Fingers crossed they choose to nest with me again! 🤞🏼

I’ve got a poorly bumblebee nest here @davegoulson.bsky.social @bumblebeetrust.bsky.social any ideas?No sign of wax moth. Is the white stuff between the wax pots significant? Not a single bee came to see what I was doing 😭 but there was high-pitched buzzing from within - has the nest lost its queen?

The rewilded walled garden at Knepp is looking fantastic and there is SO much wildlife to be found! Come join me on my next Garden Wildlife safari on 25 July, where we will walk around the garden and learn how to identify the different species that use it. Get involved! knepp.co.uk/view/garden-...
