Not an overly rare moth, but Eyed Hawkmoth is one I've been waiting for since I first started trapping 5 years ago. Delighted to finally catch one in my Cambridgeshire garden!

The sounds of & sights of early summer seem to have erupted over the last few days. Cuckoos calling, Swifts overhead & of course thousands of St Mark's Flies filling countryside lanes & paths. So named as their emergence coincides with St Mark's Day on the 25th April

Spent a few days in the Marches, and took a trip to walk through what was once ground zero of the UK Red Kite recovery programme...

How do we save Britain's most elusive bird?
It was great to help lead the first national workshop on Lesser spotted woodpecker last week, together with @lesserspotnet.bsky.social. The ultimate case of playing conservation on the "legendary" difficulty setting!

Nice one Neil. This was a shot I took earlier this year when myself & some NE colleagues went to census the New Forest population under license (fish tank with leaves at the bottom!). We're working on potential recovery programme - as you say, New Forest pond is very susceptible to chance damage.

As the leaves fall, winter thrush migration enters full swing. Whilst seeing Redwing & Fieldfare isn't too difficult, getting close enough for photos is quite a challenge. This image was taken back in 2020, when widespread flooding drew birds to feed in inner city Oxford. #autumn #nature #wildlife
