We've had a great Big #ButterflyCount so far, but need to keep momentum going in these vital last days 💚 🦋

We know the weather might take a turn but please Count when you can - our butterflies & moths still need your help! ☀️ 🌧️

#GetOutForTheCount until Sunday 8th August!

Unbelievable weekend in Dorset with wonderful bat folk. Did lots of learning and got to see 10 amazing bat species (inc. grey long-eared and greater horseshoe bats - in the pics below!!) Thanks so much again Nick @gaokerena 🦇😍

The absolutely beautiful ruby-tailed wasp! Saw lots of these flitting about at Greenwich yesterday whilst learning about Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) @WildLondon. They were so hard to snap as they were super busy! #30DaysWild

@Promote_Thanet Hi Don! Unfortunately my website has temporarily gone down (something to do with my host)- I have contacted them and they should have it back up and running today 😊

New blog post (https://t.co/i1MMVMn01u) about some of the #wildlife I came across last week in the beautiful Scottish Highlands 💙 @ScotWildlife @BSBIbotany @Love_plants 🐛🦋🌲🦌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⛰#localpatchreporters @WildlifeMag

Alpine marsh violet, Viola palustris, (I think) in the hills of Dornie, Scotland today 🏔🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙 #wildflowerhour @wildflower_hour @BSBIbotany

A rather more positive story of spiders in London ... at least compared to what appears in the tabloid press! The City Nature Challenge is a global initiative, so similar events may be taking place near to you. Great fun! https://t.co/hvmeQGr8Si

Great to see @MathewsFiona's bat-saving petition featured in both @thetimes and @brightonargus today. 🦇 ICYMI, the campaign calling to regulate the sale of sticky fly paper, was also featured on @bbcsoutheast last night. Watch again online here: https://t.co/WQrpapIMyv
