A friend found an Indigo Bunting in his garden at Whitburn, Co Durham yesterday and thankfully it stayed another day, I managed to get a few images today #birds #ukbirding #ukwildlife
Allium trifoliatum (Hirsute Garlic) at Hodnet Old Railway on Wednesday with the wildlife group appears to be new to VC40. Slightly early for #wildflowerhour #ukwildlife
Watching this female broad-bodied chaser learning to fly was fascinating. She hadn’t long been in this world and was struggling going from grass to grass. Now that she's gone, I assume she figured it out! 💛

Great weather yesterday in the Elan Valley for
Dipterists' Forum spring meeting guided round some great woodland, wetland and upland sites by Phil Ward. Delighted to find Criorhina floccosa on Rowan flowers, which unfortunately didn't hang around. New hover for me. #ukwildlife #diptera
Only 4 moths in my garden trap this week, but 2 were very good to see. Puss Moth was a long-awaited first (although no records in my 10km grid square for 40 years). Oak Hook-tip still has less than 60 records in Durham, but seems to be establishing itself well #ukwildlife #teammoth #insect #moth 🦋🌳

My #dragonfly highlight of the year so far - an immature male Broad-bodied Chaser at #RSPB Otmoor last weekend. It was early evening and he was settling in to roost. #ukwildlife #odonata #ento #insects
Good morning! I didn’t expect to see such a cute insect pop up while I was out in the garden yesterday! Just look at that face 🧡🧡

Good morning! It may be just black & white but what a sweet little bird the White Wagtail is! It wasn’t bothered by me at all, just sat there posing for me 🖤🤍

The lovely micro moth Esperia sulphurella, seen at dawn on an oak tree. I found double-figures of these shiny wonders around some wood piles in a local #durham nature reserve this week. #ukwildlife #teammoth #insect #moth 🦋☀️🌳
From nymph to Dragon takes around 90 minutes and it's one of natures marvels.

A power visual metaphor for raptor persecution. A black kite shown but it could be substituted with a multitude of UK raptors. #ukbirding #ukwildlife

At last … Wood Warblers on the Quantocks, Somerset this morning before the rain set in. Sat in the woods for a while with coffee and cake with the beautiful song of Wood Warblers as background music 🎶 🎵, absolute heaven! #ukbirding #ukwildlife #birds
