So many Meadow Browns and Ringlets at the Lyde Road end of the Riverside Walk this morning - maybe the butterflies are just late this year. Peacock and Red Admiral as well, 3 Marbled Whites, and a very distant Whitethroat Butterfly Conservation 🦋 BC Somerset & Bristol Somerset Wildlife Trust Dorset Wildlife Trust
A Roe Deer buck brought a sudden excitement to the almost ethereal wild flower meadow at Woodland Trust🌳 Duncliffe Wood this morning Dorset Wildlife Trust #TwitterNatureCommunity
More from the wonderful Woodland Trust🌳 Duncliffe Wood meadows. Full of butterflies, mostly Meadow Browns & Ringlets, but also many camera-shy Marbled Whites. Also a good few Large Skippers, and my first Gatekeeper of the season Butterfly Conservation 🦋 BC Dorset 🦋 Dorset Wildlife Trust
Last lot, this time from the actual woods at Woodland Trust🌳 Ducliffe Wood. Drone Fly on Hairy St John's Wort, Hornet Mimic Hoverfly, Barred Straw moth (?) and a magnificent Emperor Dragonfly, my first ever British Dragonfly Society British Moths UK Moth Identification Steven Falk Dorset Wildlife Trust
Out of nowhere, some Ragwort has suddenly reappeared on the Pittards end of the Riverside Walk. Loads up the Lyde Road end of course, but this is the only plant this end. Hopefully it might be host to some Cinnabar caterpillars soon 🤞🤞 Somerset Wildlife Trust BC Somerset & Bristol Dorset Wildlife Trust

Nice chilled walk on the Ham Hill butterfly route. A goodly variety of butterflies, but also lots of Red Soldier Beetles, a Black-Striped Longhorn Beetle, and some lovely Pyramidal Orchids UK Soldier Beetles National Longhorn Beetle Recording Scheme Tristan Bantock Somerset Wildlife Trust british naturalists Buglife
Sadly, this photo, while it is indeed a brilliant piece of photography by Evan Vucci, as David Altizer says in his thread, it will probably also get Trump elected.
Using ext tube for macro also makes for fun abstract bokeh landscapes it seems. Dappled light in the woods, Riverside Walk this afternoon. Somerset Wildlife Trust Love Yeovil #bokeh #twitterlandscapephotography #TwitterNaturePhotography
Too hot to walk dogs, so pottered with the 70-300 + 12mm tube macro setup. Think these are European Dark Bee, Sweat Bee, Dark-palped Melinda and Backswimmer, but happy to be corrected! Somerset Wildlife Trust Dorset Wildlife Trust Tristan Bantock Bumblebee Conservation Trust
Tiny Chequered Hoverfly, Melanostoma scalare, Riverside Walk this morning. I know they're common, but it's a first for me Somerset Wildlife Trust Dorset Wildlife Trust Buglife Steven Falk
Tiny Gossamer Hoverfly, Baccha elongata, on Enchanter's Nightshade flower, Ninesprings earlier. Trying to get a decent photo of the flower, tricky as it's also tiny and only grows in shade, but I spotted the Baccha when reviewing the photos Somerset Wildlife Trust Tristan Bantock Steven Falk
This, I think, is a Grey-spotted Boxer, Platycheirus albimanus? All ID help gratefully accepted! Steven Falk Tristan Bantock Buglife Somerset Wildlife Trust Dorset Wildlife Trust
