Amazing to find this burnet moth (Zygaena transalpina) enjoying sunshine and plenty of scabious flowers in the Swiss Alps! I've counted more than 60 individuals in less than 200m, which definitely made the steep climb worth it!

And also published in PeerJ Publishing, a paper arising from Kat Oliver's UG thesis University of Exeter CEC where we show spatial variation in the response of Common Frog breeding behaviour to temperature shifts over the last few decades in the UK peerj.com/articles/17901/

Incredibly proud friend this week after having 2 (!) of my friends publish their work!! Check it out if you're interested in anthropogenic change; maternal investment and the implications of these! 🐸🐅 frontiersin.org/journals/conse… peerj.com/articles/17901/

New linocut inspired by my moth trap SWLA

Two Convolvulus Hawk-moth and an Anomalous in the trap today, the former two weighing more than one of the Goldcrests bouncing through the Bracken

If you have late-blooming flowers in your garden, don't forget to check for any #moths feeding at night, to help investigate nocturnal #pollination ! We're still seeing moths on ragwort, devil's bit scabious and exotic plants on our beautiful campus University of Exeter, Cornwall University of Exeter CEC

Great day in Tynemouth exploring the rockpools and local birds. Redshanks, Oystercatchers, Ringed plovers, anemones and (Whooper?) swans made for a great day out!

Brilliant to work with Nat Duffus on this important paper. The culmination of several years' work examining how the BNG Metric lines up with primary invertebrate field data Oxford Martin School Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery. 1/2

Sulphur Tufts, Polypores and a few others from #GosforthNatureReserve today for #UKFungusDay! Also a Coral Fungi from Jesmond Dene 🍄

Great mothing session last night, with many Canary Shouldered Thorns, Green and Red-green carpets, Light emerald, Snouts, Red-line Quaker, Pink-barred Sallow, and the star of the show, Merveille du Jour! Thanks to Andy and Paul from @NENature_ #MothsMatter

From eggs to adults, yesterday was a fab day to look for ladybirds! Cream-streaked, 18-spot, harlequin, orange, cream-spot and 10-spot made for a great morning! Thanks to James Common and @NENature_!

Great evening of NHSN @NENature_ talks! We learnt about the Gosforth’s Wild Web and the wonderful field skills programme the society runs! Already looking forward to next week! Special shout out to Ben Hawthorne who absolutely smashed talking about the inverts in the web!!

Manx Shearwater chick EM82816 was last seen on 26th August, its wing about 10mm short of fledging length. It was found exhausted on a Brazilian beach on 8th October, 43 days later. So 216km a day and in reality a lot more than that

Autumn is the season when things get a little bit weird in the wildlife world 🍂🧟 From zombie caterpillars to skeleton leaves, check out our spooky spotter sheet for some ideas of what to look out for this #HalfTerm 👇 butterfly-conservation.org/discover-and-l…

Exciting news! The Wildlife Trusts have today completed the purchase of part of Rothbury Estate in Northumberland in partnership with Northumberland Wildlife Trust including the Simonside Hills. It's home to rare wildlife including curlew and red squirrel. (1/2) 📷 Duncan Hutt

Gorgeous early mining bee found today whilst gardening- it shuffled away to find a new winter home!

Very excited to get started with the first field work of this project! Let's see what we find! 💡🦋

We find that even short pulses of light impact moth flight behaviour! Particularly when the lights are blue/white like those blinding modern car headlights 🚗💡 Very exciting to see my first ever paper published! Check it out doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2…!
