Montpellier maple in Ucka National Park, Croatia. Gotta do a bit of tree ID even when on holiday!

Starlings using the bare branches caused by ash dieback for roosting. Thought it was kinda interesting #trees

This ancient oak in East Devon has got me hooked on ancient trees - anyone got a recommendation for walks in Devon to include awesome trees? #ancientoaks #AncientTree #ThickTrunkTuesday

#DYK Lords & Ladies are pollinated by moth flies?! The moths attracted by a scent become trapped in a chamber where male flowers with their anthers lie above female flowers with their stigmas. After a day or 2 the flies are released- they then fly to another plant & pollinate it!

We bought a house a month ago so finally have a little garden to call our own! Last night, Chris put up a camera behind the shed as we suspected there might be hoggys!! @hedgehogsociety #hedgehog #wildlifegardening #GardenersWorld

Been away from Twitter for a little while but have come back to announce my love of Autumn. Bring on the cosy nights, woollen scarves and ginger bread biscuits

A very worn out common white wave? Whatever it is, it looks beautiful amongst the ferns #teammoth

A stunning lesser butterfly orchid in amongst my mother in law's meadow! She couldn't wait to show me when we were finally able to visit (in the garden only of course) #wildflowerhour #30DaysWild

My nasturtiums are monsters! #balconygardener #growyourown

A forest of foxgloves! How beautiful is this patch of purple that we came across on a walk recently!

I was given this oak leaf pelargonium last year when I worked in a garden. It has flowered for the first time and it is absolutely stunning! I LOVE these colours ❤ #gardening @BalconyUprising

Do you know your bulbous buttercups from your meadow buttercups? In preparation for this week’s #wildflowerhour #buttercupchallenge on Sunday evening, here’s a little help with our three commonest species. They’re very easy really!

Best seat in the house... or field. Cardinal beetle, on the lookout for a tasty snack I assume!

A flower bloomed on my balcony! Our balcony has been a bit of a saviour during lockdown but it's very green at the moment so every time there is a new splash of colour we celebrate! 🌼🌺🌻❤🎉
