💧 Will you help protect Dorset's Water for Wildlife? 💧

Less than 15% of Dorset's rivers are in good condition, and 90% of the UK’s wetlands have disappeared in the last 100 years.

Enjoyed a coffee in the garden earlier, and spotted this beauty of a jersey tiger having a rest. Great markings, and incredibly orange underwings when seen in flight. Dorset @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social @dorsetbutterflies.bsky.social

Spotted when I moved the bins, relocated to a far more suitable place. A welcome visitor to the garden. @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social #toad

One female and NINE male stag beetles flying around the garden. What an amazing experience!

Stag beetle, rescued from the attention of the local magpies. 3 others not so fortunate, just the heads remaining.

Magpies are not one of my favoured birds in the garden. They’ve moved on from terrorising the great tit youngsters, now settling for tucking into stag beetles. RIP Mr Stag

Taunton trail half marathon completed this morning. A great event to have as my last half marathon - my knees have had enough battering and it’s time to drop the miles to enjoying my running gain. Saturday parkruns are the order of the day from now on.

Well that’s a new one for me. Great tits fledged last Friday, and the fledglings are being fed by both parents, as is normal. The female however, has been back at the nestbox every night and is now sitting on a fresh clutch of eggs! Whilst still feeding the first bunch!

I’ve signed. It won’t stop the idiots that are intent on arson, but will at least help prevent accidental fires.
After the recent Dorset fires, I am campaigning to ban disposable BBQs.
Sign my petition to show your support.

A day away from the office, a great way to refresh the mind and enjoy being surrounded by birdsong. Bonus of catching (and releasing) a few fish as well!
