I'm chatting with Pascal, a #blackbird who for the couple of years has adopted us. I bung him a few mealworms, he makes me happy. After a short time away whilst he was moulting, he is back and hungry. How do I know it's him? Well, he only has one leg for a start!

Man talking to a blackbird which is close to him.

Well, that's our #pumpkin sorted! I adapted a long-eared #bat illustration that I did for the Mammal Society magazine. Have you carved a wild pumpkin? 🦇🎃

On #sharkawarenessday it is good idea to get the name of a species correct... unless it has multiple names! #sandtigershark #greynurseshark #raggedtooth 🦈

You may be aware of a #frilledshark, but did you know they have the longest gestation of all vertebrates - pups develop over 3.5 years? 🦈

#NoMowMay is all well and good, but keeping "scruffy", wild spaces all year round is essential. My #wildlifegarden has ladybirds, ant hills, grasshoppers, bees and even a beautiful,delicate, silky nest of tiny spiders.
