⚠️Do you use a prepayment meter? Don’t get stung by standing charges.

Make sure you’re topping up your gas account when it’s warm to avoid unexpected bills when you turn your heating back on.

Here’s what you need to know ⤵️

Not seen any butterflies yet in the #BigButterflyCount?

While it might be disappointing, it's just as important for us to know where there aren't butterflies, as well as where there are. 🦋

Submit your counts at 👉 https://t.co/mtv6gZ0dPN

[Little Green Space 🦋 @LGSpace]

Please don't turn your lawn into plastic. Plastic grass reduces food & shelter for wildlife such as bees & butterflies; has a high carbon footprint; sheds micro-plastics which wash into our rivers and seas. Create a wildlife-friendly space instead. More https://t.co/Ha52cZVAlE 🐝

Happy #DisabilityPrideMonth. Here's how to support those of us who are disabled.

Listen to the experiences of disabled people

Recognise that not all disabilities are visible

Ask how you can support before trying to help

Keep going! Being an ally is an ongoing process.

Great news from our sister site, @ColHighgateWood 🦔

[The Winch @the_winch]

This week at @BelsizeLibrary, we were delighted to see Families 4 peace Commemorative Quilt
Each contribution is a record of life in London seen through the eyes of their community. This summer they will be taking their quilt to Birmingham's Festival of Quilts! Good Luck!

Owls are majestic creatures - have you ever spotted one? 🦉

Use our handy guide to find out which ones you've seen. 🔎 https://t.co/JBmBPg641r

[Scope @scope]

Working from home could have been game-changing for disabled people. But in the past two years the disability employment gap has remained the same.

Employers must do more to support disabled talent.

Nearly 5 million people are in a negative budget.

This means they're building up debt to get by, cutting their essential spending back to unsafe levels.

If this was you, would you be able to survive on a negative budget? ⤵️

If a young person you are working with begins to feel their breath getting quicker and out of control, use this activity to help them slow down their breathing and calm down.

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing in this year's low count of all things insect

[The Bee Guy @the_beeguy]

Mornin’.

A little bit of sunshine.
A little bit of #bees.
That seems to be the way this summer.
Worryingly low numbers of bees, #butterflies and #insects in general.
Even the horseflies here are hunting solo rather than in their usual swarms.
Here’s a Common Carder bumblebee bathed in mallow pollen.
A sight to behold amidst the current vacuum.

[Gospel Oak LPP J Cox @lppgsoak]

hardly any butterflies around here

[Hedgehog Cabin @HedgehogCabin]

This tiny little baby girl is Noa.
Noa weighs just 99 grams.
She's suffering from severe malnutrition and starvation because we've destroyed her natural food.
She should be stuffing herself with caterpillars, but look around. How many butterflies have you seen this year?
Until nature can recover (which means all of us have to act responsibly and allow our gardens to be less controlled, more natural and wild) we need to provide food for these gentle, trusting, silent victims of our excesses.
See how just a little cat food animates this poor starving scrap of life? You could be saving a life like this, tonight, in your garden.
This is Royal Canin Mother and Babycat food soaked in warm water; a special food because poor baby Noa is so malnourished and weak. But any cat or dog food is great; wet or dry, as long as meat is the first listed ingredient. Dry kitten food is perfect.
Thankfully baby Noa made it through the night, but is still very fragile and her recovery is uncertain.
There are so many baby Noas out there right now, in the desert of decking and manicured lawns, desperately seeking just a little kindness.
Please be their oasis tonight.

John’s ESA payments were stopped after postal delays meant a letter he needed to respond to arrived too late.

John lost £300 as a result.

Lot of insects out as the sun shines. Second brood bumblebees around too. I am seeing a few different species of 🐝. Crab spiders camouflaged on cow parsley and meadowsweet pucking off flies etc. Lots of beetles, marbled whites aplenty. #InsectThursday #NaturePhotography
