Spotted my first Wasp Spiders of the year yesterday! 🕷️

This female showed off the classic zig-zag web. A recent colonist to our area, and always a treat to see.

Beautiful things from this weekend 💛

#nature #Britishnature #pagansky

A butterfly, wings spread out, sits on leaves at the end of a branch. The body and the section of wings close to it are a chocolate brown colour. The brown wing section is bordered by a thick orange stripe. The outer third of each wing is black with large white spots.

The news is relentlessly shite...... so as a distraction, here's a red admiral #butterfly

We’ve had some unexpected builders turn up this last fortnight, right next to the main door we use. No radios but they do like singing. Fingers crossed for some late Easter eggs. 😀

A good few days in Pembrokeshire, St Govans Chapel is amazing. Found what we believe is the sacrum of a small or baby animal. Such blessed to live with beauty like this on my door step #wales #britishnature #britishwildlife #stgovans

Can you believe this tiny cushion star is just 1 cm in size? They are among the smallest and most colourful of all starfish and live in the upper shore #rockpools here in #Cornwall. The red spots on the very end of the arms are eyes!

Hello Bluesky! Here are some photos of greenwing orchids in the UK to offset the huge quantities of cats. Anyone know how to reduce the number of cats on my feed? #britishorchids #ukwildlife #britishnature #bsbi

Exclusion is having a profound impact on my mental health now. In all honesty, if I unfollow ( I really don't like doing it - I'm a fluminist!), it's for the sake of my wellbeing right now. Things are hard enough trying to turn things around here in the UK. #BritishNature
