It's a #butterfly day! 😍🤩🎉🦋 Lovely wander after work, a cold wind but warm in the sunshine, and there, protecting her orange egg, was a female orange-tip on a garlic mustard flower, swaying in the wind! #Lancashire @savebutterflies.bsky.social

Wonderfully atmospheric!

My second son takes his dog to the beach just a few minutes from his home several times each day but the evening walk is his favourite. This was tonight’s free show. No audience other than him and Bella the Cockapoo. He sent me this to share with my friends. #Sunsets #KentSeasideTowns #England #ECK

Baby Great Horned Owl checks out our cam!

I am looking forward to giving a talk at Trinity College, University of Oxford on Tuesday 26 May 🌱 Biodiverse gardening for natural resilience and pest control This talk will provide practical ideas for creating a productive garden using natural methods 1/3

Good morning & welcome to Whiskers Wednesday Start with kindness and a little grace for yourself first. Let it rest gently in your heart. Then, without forcing or overthinking, share it quietly with the world, passing it on to anyone who may need it along the way

It is actually criminal how FEW POLITICIANS are speaking about the climate crisis... and demanding ACTION. @whitehouse.senate.gov has been speaking out for a LONG time. Voters need to INSIST their representatives ACT on this existential threat to us all. youtube.com/shorts/Unxpn...

Pleased to see Fritillaria pallida in bloom for the first time with its soft greenish-yellow, pendulous flowers...

We voted out the Tories, only to find that, after a long 14 years of waiting, a Labour government adopts and extends some of their worst policies, while entirely failing to excite or inspire. Now Labour and its supporters on this platform blame us for turning away. What aren’t they seeing here?

Green hairstreaks were enjoying the Gorse today.

The Dandelion show isn't over just yet. Wall to wall seed heads, so impressive!

Some lovely Bush vetch in the hedges & verges this week. #wildflowerhour

Adorable Cowslips. Galway commonage. #wildflowerhour

Spring gentians, just so beautiful. #wildflowerhour

What do you get when you cross a Fly Orchid with a Bee Orchid? This little cutie, that’s what! 😍 So excited to see the Fly x Bee hybrid this weekend! #Wildflowerhour

All sounds very promising but sad to see the incorrect assertion that hedgehogs willingly eat slugs. They'd do this as a last resort and can ingest harmful parasites by doing so. Maintain and promote hedgehog highways to create large connected areas to forage in

For #MacroMonday. It's finally raining in North #Florida after a prolonged drought. We sure needed it. Now the fungi are popping up everywhere. This beautiful little coral fungi was photographed in the woods behind my house. #photography #ECK #fungi #FungiFriends #Mycology #macro #Nikon #Z8

People dismiss or take no notice of how we are all controlled by the language and ideas imposed on us by the powerful. But it is not an obscure idea, my idea, it is the central thesis of George Orwell's 1984. Animal Farm, is an even more brutal allegory of our society. 1/🧵

A please @labouruk.bsky.social, stop saying that it's up to us to stop Reform. YOU could stop a Reform government in 2029, by introducing the proportional representation so many in the country have been clamouring for. The only way Farage can win is through our crazy first-past-the-post system.

A very happy 100th birthday to the remarkable Sir David Attenborough.

Our Govt is intransigent on this issue of injustice for nearly a thousand prisoners. Its suggested plan is far too slow. Two better plans were suggested last night by two very learned Peers, but the Govt rejected both. We won't give up.

Yesterday I was chatting with my stepmother in law about maintaining family connection through #Bloomscrolling and…it didn’t feel entirely like admin work. 🤷‍♂️🌱💚🤘

No one expected Keir Starmer to solve our pressing problems overnight. But what we did expect – and had every right to expect – was that he would lay out a clear vision and roadmap for doing so. Instead, we’ve had drift, appeasement and a startling absence of ideas, values and ambition. 🧵1/6

Street Photography of London Trams Some silly fun showcasing my love of capturing photography of the Croydon Tram network. It feels like discovering a new secret line on the London Underground tube map.

The Lackey Moth. For me, one of our most beautiful caterpillars. So commonly seen in my younger years, I so rarely spot one these days. A pleasure to come across this one yesterday. #moths #TeamMoth #MothsMatter #caterpillars #UKwildlife
