Saw these two lovely Turtle Doves at Wrabness yesterday

Spotted these wildflower signs in Lawford. Sometimes the value of a habitat isn’t always obvious and we need to let people know so that it doesn’t get damaged.

A beautiful sighting today by @EssexWildlife and @charlottelrs. The cream-spot tiger moth is a large colourful moth with bold markings. It will display its hind wings to warn off predators #30DaysWild

#DYK? To prepare for hibernation, dormice eat so much that by the end of summer, they can be double their normal size. Just as well, because they can lose up to half their body weight during hibernation. #FridayFact

A first for the whole EECOS team yesterday. A beautiful Maiden Pink. It was a good opportunity for us all to get out the key and make sure, as we don’t see many of the Dianthus species of flowers #ecology #botany #Essex

[@EECOS @EECOSLtd]

There’s not much that is more exciting than checking your camera trap and finding this! #badgers #ecology #Essex

[@EECOS @EECOSLtd]

It has been quite some time since we have seen a Marbled White butterfly. What an excellent spot!

[@EECOS @EECOSLtd]

Our ecologist Adele did a spot of night time botany after our bat survey and found this Bee Orchid next to an arable field this evening.#30DaysWild

[@EECOS @EECOSLtd]

Spotted this morning on the bird feeder, an adult female Sparrow feeding her fledgling. Whilst the fledging is able to fly now, it is still fed by the adults for approximately 2 weeks after fledging the nest #30DaysWild

[@EECOS @EECOSLtd]

Our Assistant Ecologist @TheWildIntern got to see her first Great Crested Newt larvae today! Interestingly, newt tadpoles grow front limbs first, whereas, frog tadpoles hind legs grow first #30DaysWild #Ecology
