We had a great time flying birds at the Althorp book festival, Charles Spencer even popped by and said many of his guests were saying nice things about the birds.
These deaths head hawk. Moth caterpillars have been a real treat for school kids the last few days, but now they're already pupating! Moths coming soon...
I turned up to school today to give two nocturnal animal talks, waiting for me on the wall outside was this beautiful privet hawk moth! One of our largest moth species. She came in to be the star of my show before releasing her back outside. Brilliant,
My talks often see me introducing kids to animals from all over the world, but my passion is to get them to notice the wonderful world of nature all around them here in The UK, this blue butterfly is surely as good as any in the world!
A great image by Ben Guntrip, last weekend Worzel the young Bald Eagle along with a superb commentary by my good friend Tom Morath got one huge spontaneous round of applause after his show stopping performance
@foxfield@Raptorxotics Year 1 had a fabulous time learning about the animals.We held a snake, touched a frog, a stick insect and we looked a cute hedgehog.
