Osmia bicolor I filmed arranging sticks a couple of years ago at Stroud Cemetery that I just looked at again and selected this little snippet. Underneath the 'kerplunk' style thatch is an empty snail shell containing an egg and porridge of pollen and nectar 🐝 #bees

I'm keeping this account going but not using the platform (not that I used it much anyway). In case anyone gives a crap... my reasoning is that the Edge Lord in Chief may depart eventually🤞 @ nommo.bsky.social @ naturebynommo on Threads and Insta

We said goodbye to our precious whippet Mojo yesterday. He would have been 15 in a few weeks and if it weren't for the aggressive cancer, we're sure he'd have been around to emanate love and support for many more years. Goodbye my friend x

A year ago today, I spotted Spotted Flycatchers in our garden... they raised two broods! We're hoping they return this year... Has anyone seen any in the UK yet? (we're in north #Cumbria ) @SpotyFlycatcher @Natures_Voice

"Nature is on the sidelines – quite literally at times, in the cracks beneath the billboards. Nature does not have a marketing budget. Nature has no new styles; this year’s robin is the same as the previous years."

Greater Bee Flies (Bombylius major) are about up here in #Cumbria. I am pretty sure I saw an Early Mining Bee on the wing too

My favourite #WildFlower ooo that's really tricky! I think it's got to be the humble yet essential Dandelion. Such an important food source for invertebrates. For me, the flowers that bring *most* joy and hope are orchids, popping up in places they haven't been seen before 💚
For #IWD23 @Jemimasgarden & I picked #Top10Wildflowers for a #WildWomanGarden 🌻 We're giving away 1 copy of #AllMyWildMothers + a selection of seeds to plant your own! To enter Retweet & Comment with your fave wildflower & why. Read what we chose here👇wildwomanlife.substack.com/p…

The law of unintended consequences. And something about nature and niches and humans and money.
UPDATE: I met the farmer doing this yesterday. The conversation we had was NUTS. He's tearing down all this amazing successional habitat, which has been naturally afforesting for about fifteen years, so that he can get paid to plant... Trees.

Really excited about this! I have a feeling I'll be heading north of the border real soon after watching...
