A Cinnabar moth caterpillar on some Ragwort. They really are devouring the leaves at a fast pace. Lovely to see.

Are we starting to turn the tide on meadow loss? Mini #meadows accompany the queue for #Wimbledon #tennis. Great to see.

Is this a Southern Marsh orchid? Dorset, near a ditch and about 15-20 cm tall.

Plenty of Pyramidal orchids on the verges in Dorset this week. Don’t seem too impacted by lack of earlier rain.

Pleased to see the first Cornflower in my garden meadow patch. It hasn’t been easy to get started but it’s another flower for #pollinators. #NoMowMay #LetItBloomJune #MakeAMetreMatter

Here’s to #NoMowMay in Dorset. A patch of lawn in its 5th year as a wildflower area in a garden, teeming with wildlife.
