Not sure if I’m seeing things, but this couldn’t be a shrill carder bee in my north Cardiff garden could it @olds_liam @B_Strawbridge @TheGreenJeanie ???

[Sally Brockway @SallyB146]

A bit late but I think this might be a pine ladybird on some nettle for #WildCardiffHour - spotted @buteparkcardiff 💚💚

[#WildCardiffHour @wildcardiffhour]

Have you spotted any signs of wildlife in the city this week? 😉 Don't forget to share tonight 8-9pm on #wildcardiffhour 🐦��🦆🕷️🌸🌳🍁🍂🍄

Happy 1st October! It's been a mix of downpours and gorgeous sunshine this week. Did you get out and spot anything wild in n around Cardiff? Share tonight 8-9pm #wildcardiffhour 🦔🦇🐿️🐦‍⬛🐸🐛🦋🦖😉

A little passenger found after some garden work (rose sawfly larva, I believe 😊) #WildCardiffHour

[#WildCardiffHour @wildcardiffhour]

We’ve passed the autumn equinox and it really feels like we’re heading into the colder months! We’d love to see what you’ve seen round Cardiff this week - join us tonight, 8-9pm for #WildCardiffHour

[Sally Brockway @SallyB146]

@B_Strawbridge @pollinatorproj Wow, Brigit! It looks almost metallic 💚💚

[Sally Brockway @SallyB146]

@MsGubbins @LisvaneLlanRes I think we’ve been comparatively lucky with wasps in Cardiff, especially in the latter part of the summer 💚

[Sally Brockway @SallyB146]

After some very poor attempts to photograph waterfowl, hawkers, darters and common carder bees @LisvaneLlanRes this week, I finally managed to capture the wildlife which shared our breakfast 🤣 #WildCardiffHour

[Sally Brockway @SallyB146]

It was lovely to see a brimstone butterfly visiting the garden this week 💚💚 #WildCardiffHour

[#WildCardiffHour @wildcardiffhour]

What has been wild about your week?? We’d love to see it tonight, 8-9pm, for #WildCardiffHour!

[Sally Brockway @SallyB146]

@stubbingtonbear @forestfarmuk Oops! Here it is

[Sally Brockway @SallyB146]

@stubbingtonbear @forestfarmuk Lovely shot! I spotted this in my garden at the beginning of August and think it might be a mottled grasshopper??

[#WildCardiffHour @wildcardiffhour]

Autumn brings lots of its own wild wonders (although all this rain isn’t very inspiring!). Share what you’ve found this week in #WildCardiffHour tonight 8-9pm!!

[Sally Brockway @SallyB146]

The smallest of small creatures to be found on the fleabane this evening 💚💚 #WildCardiffHour

[Sally Brockway @SallyB146]

I had a quick stroll round the garden this evening and found a small male furrow bee roost and a straw dot moth (I think!). #WildCardiffHour

[#WildCardiffHour @wildcardiffhour]

Croeso/welcome back to #WildCardiffHour!!! We hope you’re as excited as we are to start sharing your wild #Cardiff finds again. See you tonight, 8-9pm 🐦‍⬛🦆🪲🦋🪰🕷️

[Sally Brockway @SallyB146]

@SteveOrmerod Thank you! Yes, I’m currently VERY tempted to get a moth trap 😂

[Sally Brockway @SallyB146]

@SteveOrmerod Amazing - thanks! I’m just starting to try and get my head round the moths in my garden - I think I’ve spotted Bird-cherry Ermine, Dingy Shell and Garden Carpet too in the last couple of weeks. They’re fascinating!

[Sally Brockway @SallyB146]

@judiththomas4 What a brilliant description 👌🤣🤣
