With over 40k followers, it was very hard to detach myself from Twitter/X - but it is gone, and I'm so glad to have found 'my people' here! So, here's a photo of the egg of my favourite butterfly, that I've studied for almost 15 years ... the White Admiral (Limenitis camilla) ... a hairy golf ball!

Nice job to start the year - putting up a couple of bird boxes…rather large ones! 😆 A @wildyourgardenltd.bsky.social Barn Owl & Kestrel box to be precise, for a client that is encouraging many habits within the property, soon to include a rather large #wildlifepond! 😁🦉

Last roundup on the latest #ClaphamWetlands project for 2025. Great way to end the year. Looking forward to getting cracking with the installation of the 12m bridge over the new #wildlifepond in the new year 💚

My grandsons are full of anticipation at what Santa might bring, and reminds me of the feeling I had while waiting for this Silver-studded Blue to emerge from its chrysalis. A friend said it looked like it had been vacuum-packed, showing every detail, which I thought was quite fitting!

This winter & into 2025, I’m undertaking an ambitious project to create a 1000sqm wetland in the middle of #London, thanks to the Friends of Clapham Common.
Here’s the first instalment from my YouTube channel to explain more about this exciting project👇

It's been pointed out to me that these two Purple Hairstreak eggs contribute to a smiley face, and I can't unsee it 😜

When writing 'Life Cycles of British & Irish Butterflies' (www.butterflylifecycles.com), there was one image that absolutely blew me away - of a Large Blue larva munching on an ant grub. An incredible photo by the incredible Marcin Sielezniew!
