@JWentomologist @olds_liam Great to know both species are doing well again this year, I haven't seen the silver sided nomad before so great spot on that one! Would be good to know if you found any nest sites as we have been searching for more so we can manage the site accordingly.🐝😊

@CoalspoilFungi @1RoadToNature @GwentWildlife @RSPBNewport @ourlivinglevels @BumblebeeTrust Shout out also to Pete for the bat walk and Bob Roome for moth trapping! Thanks to all recorders who came and gave their valuable time, Graham Watkeys for a new to Wales record and shout-out to myself for winning the cake off with my very first attempt at a cake😅🍰

[Oliver Jenkins-Boobyer @JenkinsBoobyer]

@AilinKee @1RoadToNature Amazing, thanks for coming and was nice to meet you Ai-Lin😊 apologies for making your search for the forget me not shieldbug more difficult by exaggerating it's small size but glad you found it🙈😂
