Possibly my favourite picture ever of Gannets.

@janepursey Wow, what a great thing to spot and to get a photo was the icing on the cake.

First #frogspawn of the year in my #Bridgwater pond on Saturday 7/2. ⁦@higgy50⁩ ⁦@PondDip⁩ ⁦@SomersetWT⁩ Not sure if #spawnmap is functioning for 2026.

@MarciaJuliet It certainly is. It’s a sort of synchronised swarming in warm weather when new queens meet eligible males and make new colonies. Plenty of info online. 🐜🪽

A couple of days ago flying ants were everywhere in my #Bridgwater #garden. Above the house, hundreds of #gulls were presumably feasting on the swarm higher up. 🐜😋

@lnrwildphoto Good job Rob!

Only one Silver-spotted Skipper seen yesterday at Fontmell Down. Overcast and a bit cool perhaps but lots of Blues on the wing.

@lnrwildphoto Nice one Rob!

@lnrwildphoto Phew as you say!

What's not to love about a Hummingbird Hawkmoth? Interesting that a shutter speed of 1/1000th of a second doesn't freeze the wings. When resting, they can easily be overlooked.

Yesterday evening we noticed about 20 small white (?plume) moths flying over a friend’s garden pond. They seemed to be possibly ovipositing on the surface weed. Anyone have any ideas about this? Thanks! @ukmoths

I think this is a female Migrant Hawker but please let me know if you disagree! @BDSdragonflies

Not just the garden enjoying the downpour this morning. 🐦🌧️

@AllanChard Excellent Allan. 🙂

@lnrwildphoto @ardman_liz Nice one Rob!

@JohnTolfree Nice John!

White Admirals seen but sadly not photographed at Shapwick Heath today. Here's a consolation prize of what I think is a Southern Hawker.
