Went to search for a little white flower on the Llŷn today - Didn’t find it, but saw other white-flowered beauties! Incl. Pale dog-violet (Viola lactea), white ramping fumitory (Fumaria capreolata), and field mouse-ear (Cerastium arvense). #NatureNetworks #RhwydweithiauNatur

Day...week...year made! We have a nest of barn owl chicks! We are over the moon. These three chicks have been weighed (they're really heavy for their age) and ringed by ecologist Paddy Jenks.

What a glorious picture of the whole family together.

Happy World Wildlife Day from us all at The Bug Farm. With spring well on the way, it won't be long until the fields are buzzing with our native wildlife once again.

We had the absolute pleasure of welcoming the truly inspirational @iolowilliams.bsky.social to The Bug Farm today. The conversations we had around farming, food and nature truly cemented that what we are doing has never been more important.

Yippeeeeee - the first house martin of the year flew over today 🥰. Call systems have now been switched on, so fingers crossed they will be back to nest with us again this year for their second year 🤞🤞🤞.

🐸 Tonight's total = 204 toads and 45 frogs helped across the road at the end of our lane (and 16 squashed by cars).

Another 14 toads helped across the road by Waun Caerfarchell. A great effort by a fabulous group of people.

#TeamWilder hosted an outdoor skills event with the Chinese in Wales Association at our Gelli-Hir reserve. They covered what you can forage at this time of year, how to collect water & the different ways to build a den. Gelli-Hir is a gorgeous woodland to visit in autumn!

🐸 First frogspawn of the year! This spawn is in a little pond we dug 2 years-ago as part of a Nature Networks Fund project. This pond (and the other 27 ponds and scrapes we have dug around The Bug Farm and Penweathers) is definitely creating nature networks across The Bug Farm. #naturenetworks

#NatureNetworks are key to #ScottishBiodiversityStrategy delivery, but how will they be implemented?

We held a peer-learning session with ‪@naturescot.bsky.social‬ and 30+ local authorities to share experiences & shape solutions. Read our learnings & next steps: greenactiontrust.org/peer-learnin...
