Its cow time of year again! Love having the young Belted galloways from @SurreyWT. They graze our meadows and open up scrubby areas for us.

Staff from across Heathrow braved the cold Thursday to help us plant 60 trees at our Colne Valley and Cains Lane sites. Great job by everyone involved! 🌳🌳🌳

Another honey harvest done for the year, helped once again by Heathrow Engineering team. A great team effort from everyone.
A huge thank you once again to @Green_Corridor for letting us use their premises again. Tracey and David were amazing. 123 jars from 2 hives. 🐝 🍯

@markmiwurd Wow! Impressive

[Colne Valley Park @Colne_Valley]

One of the most extraordinary survivals in the Colne Valley Regional Park is #StainesMoor. This ancient landscape is now hemmed in on all sides by creeping urbanisation, but it retains a unique atmosphere that gives no hint of this on the ground. Do visit

Spotted at Stockley Park! A spectacular stag beetle! Like many other species, stag beetles are in decline. You can help by letting PTES when you see one. You can record any sightings on their website https://t.co/Tklj3ze7KR

Always a good sign to see young grass snakes on the sites. Double whammy under this mat. possibly yearlings. 🐍 #herptile #snakes #conservation

[Heathrow Biodiversity @HeathrowBio]

This is a still shot of one feeding. Not on the twin rivers sadly. Gives you a better idea of what they look like.

[Heathrow Biodiversity @HeathrowBio]

Watched a Hummingbird Hawk-moth on the Twin Rivers today. Amazing day flying moths with a long proboscis. Fascinating to watch as it hovered over the vegetation. #moths

@regulus_uk @Colne_Valley @ColneCAN Yep. Never ceases!

[Heathrow Biodiversity @HeathrowBio]

Invasive plants, Himalayan and Orange Balsam, on the twin rivers, Duke of Northumberland and the Longford, need to be removed each year. Not too bad in the hot weather 😊 ☀️
