We've released our Scottish Adventure Vlog Part 2, woop!! Join us on a trip to the OLDEST tree in the UK! 🌲👵👴 Word of warning... We vlogged spontaneously without a mic so put the subtitles on. It was an exceptionally windy day 🌬️https://t.co/EuTqHQfwPG

Happy Saturday!
Was watching this #Muntjac in my garden this morning, when this happened!
My heart melted 💞

We're loving the Hawthorn blooms right now! Especially the pink stamens! 💕🌸
Did you know, it was said that Hawthorn blossom smelled like the great plague ☠️ It was also thought to bring death and illness if you brought the flowers inside your home! #citynaturechallenge

[BristolNatureChannel @bristolnatchan]

The #citynaturechallenge has started!! Feeling chuffed that our first nature spot is this bundle of fluff from our kitchen window! You can imagine the squeals!!
So, it turns out we have a fox den at the back of the garden. 😱🤸‍♀️

Has anyone else started drinking more tea than normal? I'm easily downing 7 cups a day! 😬

I'm in complete lockdown, stuck within the confines of my house & tiny garden. Having a cuppa outside whilst listening to the birds is my little bit of normal in this abnormal world. ☕🕊️

[8 Out Of 10 Bats @8outof10bats]

Our special guest this morning is wildlife biologist and broadcaster @LizzieRDaly we also have @Lucy_Lapwing every day this week bringing us brilliant ways to identify and remember birdsong !

Join us at 9am LIVE from the New Forest !

Skull of the day ...

So many yellow booties 💛🍑
Now, I'm no spider lover (don't judge) but I think this is pretty awesome! A cluster of baby Common Garden Spiders. They'll become the big juicy orb spiders you find on bushes and between your garden chairs. 🕷️🕸️

Grey heron face on.
What a weird looking bird!! 😂
This is one of the local herons that hangs in Eastville Park. It's easily the best urban Park for wildlife!

This little boy has come in today . Tiny at just over 100 grams . Covered in fly eggs but is feeling more comfortable now they have all been removed and he has had some lovely food .

‘ Blood drinker of the rains’

Horse fly - Tabanidae - UK - Female. The second photo shows what delivers that painful nip.

They have eyes to die for, well maybe not die, maybe just sacrificing a little blood :)
