Some great new research from Richard Fox Lisbeth Hordley on long grass, urban gardens and butterflies 👏🦋

tldr: long grass brings more butterflies to your yard, particularly in urban areas #wildlifegardening

The bee behind was an aggressor that was chasing other bees away from its territory and when they went in a flower would jump on their backs (I may be missing something but they look like different species)

Morning friends on #GardeningTwitter #GardeningX !
Euonymus is being eaten out the front. Looking for low growing evergreen thats good for pollinators, but it's north facing and clay! Any ideas? What are you growing successfully?

Anyone else feel like this recently? If I'm not out in nature at least once a day I feel foggy and untethered somehow.

Fieldfare getting breakfast

There are so many green spaces in our towns and villages that are over-mown or sprayed, but which could instead be boosting biodiversity and bringing nature back into our lives like this corner of Cambridge. RT if you agree 🐝

The sun is shining for now so need to start working down my to do list. Heres my #sixonsaturday , pics taken just now #GardeningX #Flowers

Noticed today that the Box tree caterpillars are back on the box hedging at work. They are only small at the moment so I will need so sort them quickly. I saw a couple of bees in amongst the foliage too or possibly parasitic wasps?
Second pic not so clear unfortunately

Your kindness can kill a bumblebee 💔

📢 Please share! Bumblebee queens are starting to emerge from hibernation. British weather isn’t always ideal and people with the best intentions can cause more harm good. Let’s change that.

I might have a new king of macro camera as I was shocked at how well the #nikon #z9 did with #macro flight shots today as it was the first time I’ve used it like this

Just look at that little face……beautiful Nutmeg 😍🦡🐾🐾❤️

Bovine TB is overwhelmingly a cow-to-cow spread disease. Our policymakers need to accept that fact and the science behind it.

Stop killing badgers.

Hedgehogs are amazing.
You'd never guess that beneath that casually trundling little body, biological magic is happening - at lightning speed.
The time between conception and birth is just 5 weeks.
Five weeks!
From nothing, to a fully formed little hedgehog.
And not just one.
