Felt like everyone was out and about enjoying the sunshine today

Spring vibes today when the sun briefly made an appearance.

Right now in Laos, a terrified pangolin is being sold. She has already endured so much; snatched from her home, handled violently, starved and dehydrated. Her only defence is to curl-up. Her fate is in the alt text. It isn't for the faint-hearted but it is the reality for too many pangolins.

Feeling peacefully calm at Whisby Nature Park after yesterday's storm.

Our latest podcast comes straight from Whisby Nature Park near Lincoln. Find out about the team behind the nature reserve from education officers to volunteers and wardens - everyone plays a crucial role in making Whisby Nature Park a place for people and nature www.lincstrust.org.uk/wilder-linco...

Happy to see one of the moths I made for the Lincolnshire Show resting on the wall of my house. Even though it's red underwings stayed hidden. #mothsmatter

All the moths I made in May. Connecting with #MothMay has been great; it's lovely to see other people's moth art and it's encouraged me in my creations. These moths will be appearing at the Lincolnshire Show in June, I might make some more but I have to make some bats first 🦇

Red underwing for #MothMay made from felt with a touch of paint. The subtle camouflage and vibrant shock of colour seem like the perfect combination for a moth.

Happy to see @isleofrum.bsky.social and @rumdeerresearch.bsky.social here on BlueSky 💙 We had a wonderful stay on the island in April, every day was magical with crazy skies switching from hail showers to sunshine, sun halos and aurora. And wildlife everywhere; sea + golden eagles, divers, otters...

Two for one on the felt moths for #MothMay. Elephant hawk-moth and large emerald moth. Now I'm wondering about the possibility of making a red underwing.

I've got the days mixed up for the #MothMay challenge but I had to attempt a Mother Shipton moth as I grew up in #Knaresborough, Mother Shipton's home town. Painting on the felt wings turned out better than I expected!

A homemade felt brimstone moth in my garden where I saw an actual brimstone moth a couple of days ago. #MothMay

Lovely spot for a lunch break between meetings at Whisby Nature Park watching great crested grebes and damselflies.

Gorgeous light and wonderful wildlife at Gibraltar Point yesterday evening for our @lincswildlife.bsky.social members' event. It was lovely to chat to everyone and share this special place.

This is s beaver in Lincolnshire! Didn't think I'd ever write that sentence, it makes me so happy to know they're there 😊🦫

Crafting moths from scraps of felt and listening to the #HopeFest music recommendations - currently Cosmo Sheldrake Cuckoo Song.

Early start this morning for #internationaldawnchorusday and a walk from home listening to bird song.

Thinking about seals this evening and all the other wildlife that lives in the North Sea 😥

The sun shining on #yellowflowers this week at @lincswildlife.bsky.social HQ in Horncastle, Lincolnshire. #wildflowerhour

Beautiful light at the end of a productive day with Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust colleagues at Whisby Nature Park.

Loving #BlueBugs Day, so much better than #BlueMonday. Here's a blue shieldbug that visited my garden a few years ago 💙🩵

Thinking about a new challenge for 2025? At Lincs Wildlife Trust, we're looking for an experienced and innovative team leader to drive our purpose to bring wildlife back, empower people to take action, and create a society where nature matters. More here: www.lincstrust.org.uk/jobs/head-pu...

My little challenge for #12dayswild was to take a photo of winter colour every day. These are the colours. It may be grey and drab outside but there's always colour to be found. Thank you @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social for the Christmas challenge.

Lovely blue skies over Banovallum House, the HQ of Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust, to welcome in the new year. Looking forward to what 2025 will bring for wildlife and nature recovery in the county. #Horncastle #Lincolnshire

Love this river-themed window at the Sir Joseph Banks Centre in Horncastle. There are some wonderful wildlife and Christmas details in the handmade papercut design by local artist Joanna Pass.

Didn't really feel like it was December until today when I got to spend the day at the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust's Gibraltar Point. It's cosy and Christmassy in the visitor centre and bracingly windswept on the beach.

Today's blue sky over Whisby Nature Park
