Mostly garden wildlife, especially birds and moths, with occasional forays from Warks over the border to Worcs reserves. And needing to express extra solidarity with Ukraine
Yes, have different varieties all over the place! Absolutely love them, as do loads of insects!

Lovely to see a couple more butterflies in the garden today. They've been pretty scarce lately. @bcwarwickshire.bsky.social

The grass verge nearby hasn't been mown for a while, probably because the weather was so dry and the grass didn't grow. Now a good handful of Bee Orchids have appeared! I've requested they be left to grow, but will it happen?! @warwickshirewt.bsky.social

40w actinic couldn't compete with the moon last night, plus a low 3C so only 5 moths wasn't a surprise! But 2 were NFY and a treat - Lunar Marbled Brown and Streamer #teammoth

Emperor moth pair. She had hatched from wild eggs I was given to raise, and soon attracted a passing male!

Great stats for last year, thanks @bto-gbw.bsky.social The weasel was amazing, though far too brief a visit! Favourite birds this year - so far- 4 Blackcaps ( not all at once!) and shed loads of Siskin! #GardenBirds
