Coton Loves Pollinators 🐝 🍃💚🍃

#CotonLovesPollinators is a grassroots project based in the village community. Our motivation & concern is for #biodiversity & the landscape #SaveCotonOrchard

Been buzzing about helping pollinators in Coton and neighboring communities for a while now but only joined @Twitter today in order to help @CotonBusway #SaveOurGreenCorridors and protect #Biodiversity.

@VenetiaJane Love your lyrical, informative posts. All the more so because they inspire us to pause for an extra moment and appreciate the purpose and result, rather than simply focus on the labour 🐝

@BonkersBusway @markrwilliamson Excuse the poor video quality, but this Song Thrush is literally singing outside my window 🎶

@botany_beck We went back out and put canes and hazard tape around them today, and pray they don’t get trampled, mown nor eaten 🤞🏻

@wildflower_hour Rather fortuitous timing. Bee orchids appearing for the first time in our new pollinator patch #WildflowerHour 🐝

@TonyJuniper The song thrush still sings in Coton’s orchard, for now. You’d be very welcome to visit and see what local volunteers are working to protect, not just for thrushes, but habitats for turtle doves, house martins, bats, butterflies, moths… and bees 🐝

@GrahamDenny9 @DefraGovUK @NaturalEngland @FWAGeast @SWTWildFarms @BC_Suffolk @Naturalcalendar Wonderful Graham. A great example of how the health of nature depends on a tapestry of varied yet connected habitats, each supporting and enriching the others. 🐝

@FlyinginFordham no trapping today but saw some pretty moths this evening just strolling around including this lovely Yellow Shell… you must come visit us one day.

Encountered a rather obliging and pristine Yellow Shell moth on a walk around the orchard this evening.
