Pond dug, first raised bed of veg planted and small patch of lawn mowed for last time for a month - the rest is being left…
The pond is 3m by 3m and its clay. My arms ache..

The endangered #LargeBlue butterfly has a bizarre life cycle. Its caterpillar feeds on thyme plants and mimics the Myrmica sabuleti ant who then cares for it as their own for the next 10 months.

Nice to be back in Buckinghamshire. Thought I'd make the most of the weather today and wander over to the Royal Standard.

It's been a pleasure to have spent the week filming at #Knepp.
Many thanks to @mostlyscarce.bsky.social and Ryan Greaves from @kneppwilding.bsky.social for their support (and for the tour of the beaver enclosure). Can't wait to visit again soon!

Had a great walk around Macclesfield Forest today. Brought out the EMP lure & despite being incredibly windy, had 3 Emperor #Moths to it within 5 mins. NFY, & truly amazing species I'd happily see every day. A new favourite of my girlfriend, as well.

So pleased to see this article about the incredible migration of flies on @theconversation.com!
Fly migration is so vitally important to humans but massively under-appreciated. I'd love to spread the word further - could anyone help?

Flies are masters of migration – it’s about time they got some credit
Flies are the most ecologically diverse and important migrant group. We just had no idea.
