In the South Devon #AONB, we have many #interesting and unique species.
One of which is the Short Snouted Seahorse, spotted at Saltstone in the #Salcombe-Kingsbridge estuary by Ms. White!🌊
If you spot a seahorse, make sure to record it here: https://t.co/dCIIpR8K19

1/3: 🤯The Retained EU Law Bill risks the loss or weakening of laws vital to the protection of nature, workers rights, food standards, health & safety and more. When Government first listed how many laws this would affect - @DefraGovUK thought that included 550 environment laws.. https://t.co/uujzoPPHN2

How did your bees and hovers exploration from day 22 go?
Is this a bee or a hoverfly?
For a quick recap, you can view our Just a Minute video on the differences, here: https://t.co/MWRLy3jMtH

It's day 26 of #30dayswild and Debs has been looking for #hidden #nature. There are masters of camouflage hidden in these two pictures - one of a Great Prominent (moth) and one of a Flower Crab spider. Can you tell us where they are?

[Wild Ideas @WildIdeasUK]

For #30dayswild we're coming back to 'things that look like other things'! We have a number of hoverflies which mimic bees, making it tricky to tell the difference. Our Just A Minute video explains some of the key differences to help you identify the pollinators you see.

[Wild Ideas @WildIdeasUK]

It’s day one of #30DaysWild, so we’ve got se Wild ideas for you!
We wanna see you shake your tail feather! Can you dip and bob like a wagtail? Pictured: Grey Wagtail.

[Devon Local Nature Partnership @DevonLNP]

Today is #WorldBeeDay
We can all do more to help protect bees and spread awareness of their significance
#GetDevonBuzzing runs in July and is the perfect opportunity to celebrate and learn more about the range of pollinators across Devon
