As if to make up for our Swift family finally leaving on their long journey home. I had a surprise last night, as usual, I put food out for Boss, our visiting hedgehog, only to discover that we now have two hogs visiting our garden. It was a lovely surprise, and I’m delighted. ❤️🦔🦔❤️

This morning, I rolled over in bed and was fortunate enough to see a swift leave the nest box, followed ‘swiftly’ by another. 🙂Our chicks had fledged and were on their way home! I wished them a safe journey. It was a bittersweet moment as they had been such good company over the summer months. 💚 🐦

This year’s Noctule 🦇 pups are well developed already, judging by footage from this morning. I originally set up the Secacam 7 so we knew bats were present at a remote roost before setting off on the 1.5 hour drive to monitor them, but the insight into how bats are using this roost is so valuable

A handsome poplar hawkmoth. I couldn't believe it when I saw him perched outside my bat flight in broad daylight. I kept him safe during the day and released him later that night.

Spiny-headed Tree #Frogs 🐸💚💌 of #Mexico 🇲🇽 #CostaRica 🇨🇷 are Near Threatened by #PalmOil #deforestation. Males make a "boop...boop" sound when calling females. Fight for their survival, be #Vegan and #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife
Spiny-headed Tree Frog Triprion spinosus
The Spiny-headed Tree Frog Triprion spinosus is a stunning small frog species hanging on to survival in fragmented patches of forest in #CostaRica, #Panama, #Honduras, #Mexico. They have many common names including the spiny-headed tree frog, spiny-headed treefrog, spinyhead treefrog, coronated treefrog, and the crowned hyla. These elusive an shy, arboreal frogs are rarely seen and they live out their lives quietly in bromeliads and other tropical plants. However palm oil, timber, soy and meat deforestation along with a fungal disease are grave threats. Help them to survive and be #Vegan #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife
