On Friday night we trapped a Scarce Prominent which is quite rare for our area! 🦋 #GMS #moth

@DWVHare I hope it’s mink, but at the time I hope it’s not! 😂

[Helen Edwards @HelenEd96948512]

Can anyone help identify these footprints at Ormesby Beck? Could it be Mink? #animalfootprints #Mink #watervole

We’ve been collecting data on the number of frog spawn in our garden pond since 2008. This year we had the highest with 22 clumps and still counting! 🐸 #commonfrog #Frog

And he’s finally set in resin! Just a shame about the bubbles, but not bad for a first attempt.🪲#prayingmantis #resin

[Helen Edwards @HelenEd96948512]

Not the most professional job, but I pinned an Dead Leaf Mantis! Waiting for it to dry before setting in resin. 🪲🪳
