This week has seen sabs across the country out in force while most people are still asleep. For many hunts, the cubbing season has now started.

So far 5 #bigbutterflycount counts. Different locations but only one spot has been worthy of a mention. My garden has only had three species :(

Life has been family focused now for almost two years. But when I do get a spare moment, I seek peace in nature & it it turn finds me 💚

Wowsers you guys! What a fascinating creature!
By far one of the most bizarre creatures I’ve set my eyes on - a Gangly lancer.
So thankful for @wildlifetoursed.bsky.social for calling out across the rocky shore, “I’ve got a sea spider”.

Thinking about sharing some photos from over a decade of wandering off the beaten track across most of Somerset. What my friends & I have found is truly astounding.
Here’s a clue to the main contributors of this habitat destruction…

Something for #valentinesday. Just a couple of badgers at a sett in the centre of a town in Somerset. The male had been loitering outside this sett for a number of nights, guarding it maybe or hoping for his moment of lurrrve ❤️ 🦡

Cowslips are in flower on the bank outside Taunton County Courts. Also in the vicinity, last Spring, were Early Purple Orchids plus a Bee orchid. Please @somersetcouncil.bsky.social let the grass grow again in 2025 for #nomowmay

Ian called badger culling "a national disgrace" and said: "I would swap this award immediately for the government to rescind all existing badger culling licenses."

Monday. This badger knows how I feel. Always loved this bit of footage we got at a badger daybed in the middle of a town.

Here’s some activity from this particular sett from previous years.

Making the most of the better weather to visit some badger setts. Uplifting to get out and catch those first signs of Spring. Primroses pushing through as are snowdrops too. Fresh spoil at the sett.

🚨BREAKING: A big win for the bees and it’s sweet as honey🍯! The government has denied the emergency authorisation of neonicotinoids, a pesticide that has decimated bee populations in recent years.

I hope Keir Starmer is also backing these builders, rather than the blockers trying to stop them giving us flood-preventing, drought-reducing, biodiversity-increasing infrastructure *for free*?

I spent the last couple of days in Oxford where two huge farming conferences happen simultaneously. I was there to talk about the vital importance of access to nature, and why farmland has to be part of that.
