Noctilucent clouds tonight over North Wiltshire 😊😊😊

Short trip over into Glos to Daneway Banks for Large Blue. Think I was the lucky one as at least got to see one (it didn't stop for a photo). Everyone else I spoke to drew a blank.

[Darcia @Iffoid]

@95_reynolds Looks stunning, where are you?

[Darcia @Iffoid]

Very pleased to see my first Norfolk Hawker today here in North Wiltshire 😁😁😁

[Darcia @Iffoid]

@MatthewOates76 @BC_Wiltshire Seen quite a few on Morgan's hill yesterday too.

Seventeen dogs died of Alabama Rot in 2024.

That's up from 11 in 2022 and 16 in 2023. It's small numbers, but we'll never know the true figure as only some suspected cases go to post mortem.

Today is one year since Willow showed her first symptoms of AR before her death..

[Darcia @Iffoid]

@BBCSpringwatch it's an Eider duck, wonderful sound! Frankie Howard 😆😆😆

[Darcia @Iffoid]

@slimbridge_wild Can you help me identify the bird to the far right on the island behind please? (Sorry not that clear photo)

[Darcia @Iffoid]

@MatthewOates76 I didn't see one all year 🥲
