Clocks go back Sunday 26th Oct.
Our evenings get darker earlier & that means a big change for wildlife.
Hedgehogs, foxes & deer will suddenly find their routines overlapping with the rush hour.
🦊 Slow down during dawn & dusk.
🦔 Watch for movement at the roadside.

Really pleased to see cinnabar moth caterpillars are back in Pimp Hall Nature Reserve this year!
Fact: Common ragwort is one of the most frequently visited flowers by butterflies in the UK and more than 200 species of invertebrate have been recorded on it 😀.
