Wonderful #wildlife spots at Leckford earlier this month - common lizard 🦎 & wood mouse 🐭 plus a 🐸 visitor to our Nottinghamshire garden today #nature

On such a scorcher ☀️ of a day I had to get some more solar images done from my Nottinghamshire back garden, with my #SeeStar smart scope. #Astronomy IMPORTANT - Never view the Sun without adequate filter protection!

Trail camera in back garden for a few days & nights to hopefully spot what’s visiting RSPB hedgehog 🦔 house. No luck yet just Woodpigeons, Starlings, Sparrows (LBJ’s) & a Robin (top bird) #Birds Sound on for 2nd video clip as smart alec Robin busts the trail cam 😆

Two new #birds 🐦 captured with my back garden trail cam - Great Tit and a Goldfinch plus a mid-air Robin getting in on the act as usual. Still nothing going into the RSPB hedgehog 🦔 house, just a couple of cats 🐈 nosing about outside #wildlife

It is the first time in over a decade! 🐣 @nottswildlife #Nottinghamshire buff.ly/4cHV7Ed

Not a lot of bird activity on this morning’s windswept walk at RSPB Langford Lowfields but plants & fungi to marvel at aplenty. Blackthorn (or Sloe) plant which I didn’t identify until later plus very weird-looking fungi #nature
