#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. # 40 #Bumblebees have four wings. The two back wings are smaller and are usually attached to the bigger front wings by a row of hooks. This can sometimes lead to the mistaken impression that they only have two wings. #bees #nature

My deep desire to just live in a forest has once again driven me to make a moss blanket. You can’t have too many moss blankets.

The most vital thing for every Earth citizen to understand, and act on. Get into THE fight of all time: for your mother planet. Every one of us has a part to play, you just need to find it. 🌍

And on an uneventful weather day you find yourself once again wandering around the garden and becoming completely mesmerized by grapevine swirls again….✨

There are more than 15,000 species of fungi in the UK, and they play a vital role in healthy ecosystems. But fungi - like all life on earth - rely on healthy soil. Help save soil with these tips: bit.ly/3ULsOhO #biodiversity #organic #wildlifegarden

Word of the morning is ‘williwaw’ (19th century): a sudden violent squall or a toppling gust of wind. Goes well with ‘thunderplump’: a sudden downpour that soaks you to the skin in seconds.

My good friend John took this from his walk this morning. A great "calm before the storm" picture, looking across the Clwydian Range in North Wales 😍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #outdoors #walking

There am I starting to draw a fox and I look up and there’s a real fox in the snow!!! So beautiful but I didn’t get a picture…my pencil is obviously magical…what shall I draw now..a giant bar of chocolate…🤔

Rivers support a remarkable variety of life, from tiny insects to mighty mammals. They use our precious waterways for homes, navigation, food and more. 🎈To celebrate 20 years of The Rivers Trust, we've rounded up 20 of the UK & Ireland’s most iconic river species: theriverstrust.org/about-us/new...

For day two of my tree advent calendar, I've chosen this graceful twin-topped alder. When I see it, I get that dose of oxytocin that tells me I'm relaxing. I'm safe. I'm close to home. What #trees signpost your homecoming?

Is this wise, Jacqueline du Pres? Anyone else's roses still braving the cold? #gardening

This Edinburgh Botanics light show installation is designed to illustrate mycelium networks. It’s almost as impressive in daylight as when lit up!

‘Walk up to town’ ink, watercolour and charcoal A late winter view of the walk up to town. Come June and July we spot glow-worms displaying in the bank on the right during the walk back home from the pub on warm evenings . #watercolourartist #sketchbook #pleinairartist

So why do we live on on a boat on the canals in London? Its close to nature and calm and an amazing connected boat community. Pic taken at dawn Bethnal Green 2024 🏴‍☠️❤️

This is my Green Woodpecker on the Hill linocut print, inspired by sightings of green woodpeckers over at Rayleigh mount, near my home in Essex, UK 💚❤️

On this wet and grey day we’re looking at some of our summer filled days from yesteryear - keep warm and dry Bluesky folks! 💚🌱🏴‍☠️

Morning Bluesky friends and fellow wildlife lovers! It’s a pleasure to be on this platform so much friendlier and more connected to nature here’s a pic of our home moored up to the community garden Happy Saturday everyone! #wildlife #nature #boatlife #regentscanal #community

Good morning, as a small contribution to keeping this place cheerful here’s my robin

A bumblebee can only fly for about 40 mins between feeding. But we've lost 97% of our wiłdflower meadows. So each nectar-rich flower you plant in a windowbox or in your garden or community green spaces could be the pit stop that saves a bee 🐝 #SaveTheBees

Just a mid-week Moorhen skating through your frosty feeds...

If you love wildlife, community, canals, and/or #gardening... you might like to follow the wonderful Tower Hamlets @canalcommunity.bsky.social - who work tirelessly (against the odds, and the powers that be) to keep their amazing community food & #wildlife garden going...

UK bumblebee populations have crashed recently. Help them – and other pollinators – by growing plants that flower in autumn, winter & early spring. Many bumblebees and butterflies hibernate, but they can be active on warm days, and will need food! Ideas for plants: bit.ly/3OhYh7I

It’s great to be here on Bluesky and I’m still trying to find my feet! Here’s a photo of the path into the community garden when we first opened back in 2010 is how I’m really feeling Hallo everyone I’ll find you all soon! 🌸💚🌸💚🌸💚 @brigitstrawbridge.bsky.social @thegentleauthor.bsky.social
