I really rate this!!! Give us more nature now

I have never seen such neatly piled bin bags.

Still can’t get over the fact that people in London have to put their bins in the street for them to get collected, what a joke

New birding essential unlocked… 🍓

Train and bicycle to Sandwich Bay/Worth Marshes this Easter weekend for some peace and calm and birds away from the London hustle and bustle. 🐣

As I don’t own a car, I often feel stuck but then I remember that public transport *exists* 🚆 and for that, I am grateful (as long as I have a railcard)

Well that’s nice 🐝 🧬 @waspwoman.bsky.social @adamhartscience.bsky.social

The Soil exhibition at Somerset House was truly beautiful. More like this! 🌱

Came across a Wheatear in Hyde Park yesterday on a lawn that is being restored after Winter Wonderland. A few weeks ago, it hosted Fieldfare and Redwing.

These less disturbed areas can be great for migrating species, even in the middle of central London. Something to adopt across more parks?

2 Song Thrush, 2 Blackbird and a Green Woodpecker in the small unmown area next to the sports field in Regent’s Park this evening. Something tasty to eat in there? After all, it’s all about giving things a chance. 🌸

The worst thing about the beginning of spring means that it’s also closer to ending 🌸

Some recent updates… I’ve been taking a break from my PhD to work on some other projects: I’ve just finished the first, a UKRI-Innovate UK grant learning about biocontrol, mostly with parasitoids, in Brazil 🇧🇷 and Ghana 🇬🇭. Lots of knowledge gained and exchanged 🐝 @waspwoman.bsky.social

My sheep phase. 🐑

I was looking for wasp nests this morning and came across this absolutely massive moth.

I thought it was dead so *obviously* I poked it but it was very much alive and flew straight at my face.

I love moths. 🇧🇷 🦋 🌙

I think I’ve won Christmas this year. Black-winged Kite (aka top tier bird) portrait painted by my very own mother. 🦅🎄

Salt and Pepper frogs legs anyone…? 🇫🇷 (Yes, I’m in France. No, I didn’t try them. It might come as a surprise (!) but no, this isn’t that common)

Double Jay’s near Warren Street is hands down the best breakfast in London.

Maybe this should be a thing…
