Our impromptu artficial #hoverflylagoon seems to be coming on nicely. It's stuffed full of larvae, wriggling and squiggling, but perhaps could do with some sticks asap to help them crawl out to pupate.
Our 3rd and 4th lagoons out today. We based ours on a different Royal Parks youtube video - www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUdL... - but will take a look at the Buzz Club one to see if any difference. Dry leaves tend to blow away so weighting them down a smidge with small stones. #HoverflyLagoon
Hooked on Hoverflies after last night’s episode? @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social
Why not make a #HoverflyLagoon for your garden?

A bucket with sticks and leaves filled with water is a Hoverfly Lagoon

Our long grass for no mow may
In Christ Church Norris Green's garden this week we made a Hoverfly Lagoon, and admired the grasses progress during no mow may. #nomowmay #hoverflyhero #hoverflylagoon #christchurchnorrisgreen #plantlife #wildlifetrust #wildaboutgardens #ecochurch
