Today is the #AutumnEquinox where the night and day are of equal length ☀️🌙 As we say goodbye to Summer and wave hello to Autumn, be on the lookout for migrant butterflies such as the Clouded Yellow, which can be seen all the way into November. 📸: Will Langdon

This autumn, please consider leaving dead plants in your garden rather than 'tidying' them up. Over the winter they will provide sheltered spots for hibernating ladybirds and lots of other creatures 🐞 #wildlife #gardening #nature

More than 700 different species of wild plants have been found on UK road verges. If councils reduce cutting where safe to do so, verges can be a fantastic habitat - boosting biodiversity, saving costs, and bringing more nature back into our lives. More: bit.ly/40VK5pl
