Wall butterfly has made a bit of a comeback in Norfolk over the last couple of years. If you do see one please do record to help us to continue to track its fortunes. butterfly-conservation.org/butterflies/...

❄ Winter Walks ❄

Frosty, fresh walks are the best 👌 Sometimes sunny, sometimes atmospheric 😊🐶

We are in the midst of a nature crisis, but we have a big opportunity for change here.

Help us make that clear to those in power, and ask your MP to back nature-friendly planning now: action.rspb.org.uk/page/159517/...
Help ensure that nature is at the heart of the Government's planning reforms
I've written to my MP to demand that the UK Government adopts a nature-friendly approach to planning and development. Will you take action too?

Waterfowl are disappearing from #Doñana 🦆

A new study shows a decline in duck populations due to lost flooded areas in this crucial wetland. Human activity and climate change are driving factors.

Doñana’s health impacts migratory #birds across all of Europe.

The world’s oldest known wild bird, a 74-year-old Laysan albatross named Wisdom, is expected to welcome another baby chick in the coming months, astonishing scientists who have been tracking her since the Eisenhower administration. nyti.ms/4f7VadN

I have been illustrating insects which rely on nettles for food & shelter. This is just a tiny selection of those species. Having a nettle patch in the corner of your garden is wonderful habitat for a whole host of creatures! #wildlifehabitat #urbannature #wildgarden

🦢 Fen flightpath 🦢

Last night the cloud lifted to reveal an inky-black sky full of stars as whooper swans flew over the garden on their way to nearby wetlands.

Welmore Sluice, flood waters flowing out the northern end of the Ouse Washes. Inka says can we not walk to 'work' next time.
