The sun is shining in South Oxfordshire, perfect weather for FIT Counts on the Ivy covering our hedgerows! Female Ivy bees busy collecting pollen, not many other insects today. FIT in 😉your last counts before the @pomscheme.bsky.social survey ends on 30 Sept 🐝

Lovely lunchtime #FITcount on knapweed outside the office at @ukceh.bsky.social Wallingford. Good to see a brown argus butterfly land in my quadrat too! The wildflower diversity in our meadow has really held well despite the lack of rain. @pomscheme.bsky.social

Busiest ever #FITcount with 42 insects visiting this gorgeous Euphorbia seguieriana in my garden! Lovely to see so many tiny white-faced Hylaeus bees, ruby-tailed wasps and others, wasn’t sure what to do when a social wasp started preying on the small flies I had just counted @pomscheme.bsky.social

Colours in the garden are still so vibrant in this evenings light. Watching hummingbird hawk moths visit the Linaria. Was I the only one to miss this AI feature automatically coming into smartphone photos?!

This patch of wild red clover was perfect for a relaxing #FITcount in the garden today @pomscheme.bsky.social
I harvested small amounts of seed from a local meadow 3 years ago and finally the yellow rattle has helped clear the grasses to make way for more wildflowers
