Diving back into bed when you realise it's a bank holiday.

Have you ever seen a slow worm?

Neither a worm nor a snake, the slow worm is a legless lizard, found in heathland, grassland, woodland edges and sometimes gardens!

Like other lizards, they can shed their tail when threatened, and hibernate through the winter months.

POV: It's 5pm on a Friday and it's been a long week... 🦆

📢 Announcement 📢

The redstart is named for its red tail, which they frequently 'shiver'. They can be seen in the summer months in woodlands, hedgerows and parks, where they feed on insects.

They spend most of their time in the trees, so look out for them on branches over the next few months

Red mason bees are solitary bees that nest in hollow plant stems, holes in cliffs, and in cavities between brickwork, which is where they get their name.

Each female builds its own nest, laying individual eggs in 'cells' with pollen, which she seals with mud.

TY to @Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust for hosting a fab team day for us in the glorious surroundings of Coopers Hill nature reserve! 🙌

If you see a butterfly with orange wing tips, it's likely to be the appropriately named orange-tip!

Only the males have orange tips, females have black tips and look similar to a small white butterflies, but both have a mottled green-grey pattern on the underside of their wings.

Wake up with the birds and experience Crickley Hill or Siccaridge Woods and Daneway Banks at dawn on 5 May 🌄. Watch the sun rise as we walk whilst listening to the beautiful morning chorus of bird song 🎶.
