Found a great tit lying on the driveway, mibbe exhausted or hit by a car but after 5mins recovering in my hand it flew off. Make room for wildlife in your garden #birds #gardening #wildlife @RSPBNI @_BTO @BirdWatchIE @UlsterWildlife @Irishwildlife @BioDataCentre @GWandShows

The first real sign that Spring's on the way is frogspawn in the pond. Loads this year! Sign of a healthy garden. Put a pond in your garden! #frogs #frogspawn #garden #horticulture #wildlife @UlsterWildlife @Irishwildlife @BioDataCentre @froglifers @PondDip @GWandShows

@donnarainey4 Sadly every layby in the countryside has this problem. Always thought trail cameras would be an efficient, cost effective way to gather information about flytippers for Local Authorities to carry out prosecutions. #rubbish #flytipping

@Lussas @UlsterWildlife @Irishwildlife @Love_plants I know! Some people have nothing better to do..

[Bustaseed Ltd @bustaseed1]

Not fond of reading scaremongering articles demonising wildflowers. It encourages spraying of insecticides which poses more of a risk. I've never seen kids eating plants by the roadside #gardening #horticulture @UlsterWildlife

@LymWild @UlsterWildlife @BioDataCentre @TrueHarvestSeed @Irishwildlife @savebutterflies @giyireland I think gardening is all about learning from things that don't work out. Try again with fresh seed in Spring 2024!

Heatwave over so potting on the Devil's Bit Scabious. A damp loving late season #wildflower super for pollinators https://t.co/PxRlZnDZg9 #gardening #propagation #sustainable #pollinators @UlsterWildlife @BioDataCentre @TrueHarvestSeed @Irishwildlife @savebutterflies @giyireland

@LymWild @UlsterWildlife @BioDataCentre @TrueHarvestSeed @Irishwildlife @savebutterflies @giyireland I tried a few times to germinate dbs seeds with poor results but i got some seeds from @TrueHarvestSeed this Spring and they advised to use fresh seeds. This year no problems, the seedlings do grow v slowly though! #wildflowers

Listening to 2 long eared owl fledglings nearby last night when an adult flew 2ft over my head into the big hedge. No roosting birds caught it, sat on the hedge for a bit and flew off over my head again. Wow #owls #gardening @UlsterWildlife @Irishwildlife @BirdWatchIE @RSPBNI

[Bustaseed Ltd @bustaseed1]

@AntrimLens Thanks for that, i thought they had accidentally been imported with hay from England into the South and were making their own way up. Why were they being released up here? By folks wanting to help the barn owls?

[Bustaseed Ltd @bustaseed1]

@AntrimLens Ah right, just interested to see if bank voles have made it up this far North yet. If you see any signs of voles drop me a line. Cheers, Niall.

@TrueHarvestSeed @NearyNogsChocs @BeardedCandles @iconicbiscuits Congratulations to the winners!

@donnarainey4 @UlsterWildlife @Irishwildlife @_BTO @RSPBNI @BirdWatchIE @GWandShows Oh dear, keep trying. One day you'll have them screaming around the house hearing the whoop whoop whoop of their wings as they fly past. That was my favourite thing about the house i had in Downpatrick.

[Bustaseed Ltd @bustaseed1]

Swallows have nested in the garage! They ignored the nest platforms i put up but are using the hole in the garage door. Swallow summer in the garden. Elated! #gardening #biodiversity #swallows @UlsterWildlife @Irishwildlife @_BTO @RSPBNI @BirdWatchIE @donnarainey4 @GWandShows

@donnarainey4 @UlsterWildlife @Irishwildlife @_BTO @RSPBNI @BirdWatchIE @GWandShows Any swifts at yours Donna?

[Bustaseed Ltd @bustaseed1]

@MummyHomestead @TrueHarvestSeed @UlsterWildlife @Irishwildlife @BSBIbotany Hello, i would move them to a bright spot and keep the compost damp. Pricking them out might be a bit of a shock to them at this stage!

[Bustaseed Ltd @bustaseed1]

Finally got some devil's bit scabious seeds to germinate after advice from @TrueHarvestSeed Use fresh seeds and don't sow too early. Just super for pollinators. DBS likes slightly acidic compost #gardening #biodiversity #growyourown @UlsterWildlife @Irishwildlife @BSBIbotany

Using some nettles to make free, environmentally friendly plant feed. Fill bucket/add water/6 weeks use 1 part feed 10 water. Leave some nettles for butterflies to lay eggs #gardening #biodiversity @UlsterWildlife @Irishwildlife @BioDataCentre @savebutterflies @Buzz_dont_tweet
