From Slimbridge on Friday - Hemp Agrimony with one of its #PollinatorPals - a drone fly. Not sure what secies of fly, there are rather a lot of them. #WildflowerHour

We were asked for photos of the #DaisyFamily and we're still within mandatory Fleabane season so there was never any doubt what species I was going to hunt for. Common Fleabane and one of its #PollinatorPals at Rivermead in Swindon earlier in the week while dragonfly-hunting. #WildflowerHour

@wildflowerhour.bsky.social - A week late, but I'm just going through my 2025's new orchid species photos, & found this. Missed it earlier. Red Helleborine plus #pollinatorpals on a wonderful BBOT visit in Buckinghamshire. Can anyone ID the tiny bee(??)? Plus a better image of a flower.

Butterflies, bees, dragonflies, snails and more

My three-day weekend was filled with sightings of all kinds of #invertebrates

The theme for yesterday's #WildFlowerHour was #PollinatorPals - check the tag for some great examples of pollinators in action, from @wildflowerhour.bsky.social, and if you've enjoyed watching pollinators have a go at counting them with a PoMS FIT Count ukpoms.org.uk/fit-counts

#WildflowerHour #PollinatorPals Too late, but those near matching yellows are rather perfect...

It’s been wonderful seeing your finds for the #PollinatorPals challenge, and a welcome reminder at how important our wildflowers are for sustaining them! Keep an eye out for the next challenge & see you all again next Sunday!
In the Barton Hills in Bedfordshire today, I watched a meadow brown, bumblebees, & six-spot burnet moths on devil’s-bit scabious, while a hoverfly fed on knapweed—a summer feast for our #PollinatorPals and a reminder of how wildflowers sustain life in our meadows. #WildflowerHour

My final #pollinatorpals are on Hemp Agrimony and Red Valerian.
Chalkhill Blue butterflies in attendance (always delightful), as well as Honeybee and a striking fly (possibly Stomorhina Lunata?).
And knapweed with Red-tailed Bumblebees.
Such a great challenge this week - thank you #wildflowerhour
