Kestrels are basically the hover kings of the bird world! 🛑🕊️ With nothing but their wings and wild skill, they can stay frozen mid-air like nature hit the pause button.

@sarasiobhan @GeorgeJulian @AliveLeder Do @InclusionNorth still support the Stop People Dying Young Group?

[Reefpaths @Reefpaths]

@Tone_Killick @BritishSpiders Thank you so much Tone. Very cool to get 🕷️ ID for our photos and to be able to learn a bit more about species. There were so many different species but only had phone camera to hand

[Reefpaths @Reefpaths]

Not the best photos but lovely to see the diversity of #Salticidae 🕷️ Majorca @Tone_Killick @BritishSpiders

@Reefpaths @BritishSpiders Hi, Andy, the first spider is Hasarius adansoni, Adanson's Jumping spider and a species that is very likely established in botanical gardens and hothouses in the UK. The second is Cyrba algerina, a species that specifically preys on web building spiders.

[Reefpaths @Reefpaths]

Nature always fascinates 💚 Have learned that this observation, Majorca is the larva of a glow worm #Lampyridae

@BritishSpiders @Tone_Killick Thank you for your support with our 🕷️ observations. Taking the time to share feedback provides encouragement particularly as we are thinking of leaving this platform

Convinced that this is a species of Bee Fly continually landing on a rocky path in Majorca. Had no idea about the variety of #BeeFlies so welcomed an opportunity to learn

[Reefpaths @Reefpaths]

Nature always astounds and loved finding these miniature tiny urn shaped pots neath stones along coastline at Cala D’or, Majorca 🔎 We presume these are constructed by potter wasp species and hoping that @StevenFalk1 can advise 💚

The search for imperfection 🌳

[Reefpaths @Reefpaths]

@BritishSpiders Thank you so much for your🕷️advice and lovely to learn about Argiope trifasciata 💚 We were all mesmerised by the size of spiders and the length of their webs

[Reefpaths @Reefpaths]

Finally managed to see the beautiful Wasp Spider (Argiope bruennichi) not in Sunderland but at Mondrago Natural Park, Majorca 😎 What an absolute 🕷️ gem 💚

☀️ 21c - A few 🦋 highlights from this mornings walk along Southbourne Seafront. 😎

[Reefpaths @Reefpaths]

During the heat, we started to put out small bowls of rainwater for the birds. We didn’t expect this water source to be such an oasis for #Bees 😎 After a few early bees we now have regular guests who are not impressed when we clean the tray and add new water 💚🐝
