Just a few of the weird and wonderful Carrot Broomrape at Towan beach on the Roseland. Thanks to @danryan_nature for posting about it. Added bonus - it’s on my favourite beach and the weather was glorious! @BSBIbotany @wildflower_hour #ParasiticPlants #WildflowerHour #Cornwall

Hummingbird hawk-moths have become fairly regular visitors to the garden recently, but this is the first time I’ve seen one at rest. Hope it’s OK - looks like it might have some damage on the thorax. @Cornwall_BC @BritishMoths #moths #cornwall

Finally starting to see more butterflies around in the sunshine. Common Blue posing at @CwallWildlife Five Acres reserve today. Also spotted Red Admiral, Orange Tip, Speckled Wood and the first Meadow Brown I’ve seen this year. @Cornwall_BC #Butterflies #Wildlife #Cornwall

Greater spotted woodpecker feeding their very loud and hungry chick in Coosebean woods in Truro today. Such an amazing view of the nest from the footpath I could get the video on my phone. @BTO_Cornwall @_BTO @CBWPS1 #birds #wildlife #Cornwall

Alexanders - increasingly the sight and scent of the coastpath in summer in #Cornwall. Lots of other #wildflowers to see where they haven’t taken over (yet!). Foxgloves among fading Bluebells, Thrift and Sea campion. #InvasivePlants #WildflowerHour @BSBIbotany @wildflower_hour

[Kiki @WildGloweth]

The #bees are really enjoying the foxgloves in the garden on a very sunny #WorldBeeDay in Cornwall today. @BumblebeeTrust @Buzz_dont_tweet #wildgarden

Beautiful Buff-tip moth resting on heather at @CwallWildlife Chyverton reserve today. @Cornwall_BC @savebutterflies #moths #nature #cornwall

[Kiki @WildGloweth]

Think this is a Keeled Skimmer found while volunteering at the wonderfully boggy and beautiful @CwallWildlife Chyverton reserve today. @BDSdragonflies #dragonfly #nature #wildlife #cornwall
