You’ll have to take my word for it that these are male and female Cranes (perhaps the baby Crane is a giveaway?!) Taken at WWT Slimbridge earlier in the year. #BirdOfTheDay #Mamas&Papas theme. By @robcrank68.bsky.social

The Ducks are back! 🎉 Including Mr Broken-beak who has survived the summer and the moult and is looking in fine form (apart from his beak, obviously). Here he is this morning still in eclipse plumage. ❤️🦆❤️ #MallardMonday 🪶

Now that we’ve at last had some rain it looks like the Fungi season has started and we were very pleased to find these Green Elf Cups in our local woodland. A good start! #MushroomMonday #FungiFriends #Fungi

It’s such a shame the words Slime Mould conjure up an unpleasant image - some of them are really attractive, like this bright pink Wolf’s Milk seen on our walk in local woods on Friday #SlimeMouldSunday

It always makes me smile when we drive past this local field. There’s something about Sunflowers that lifts the spirits! 😁🌻💛 #SundayYellow

Here’s the Hoverfly with the funny little snout! Rhingia rostrata seen on a recent walk. It managed to find one of the last remaining flowers. Happy Friday folks and Happy #Flyday too! #Insects #Syrphidae

We only spotted the very weird Tortoise Beetle because we first noticed this Hairy Shieldbug who was obviously investigating it!! From a recent walk in our local woodland. #InsectThursday

A Goldenrod Crab Spider, Misumena vatia, this one’s a male and very small. On Goldenrod in the garden, ready to grab unwary flies!

This is a really weird looking Beetle! 😳🪲 I think it is a Thistle Tortoise Beetle, but I’ve never seen a two-tone one like this before. Could it be some sort of aberration? Comments appreciated! 🙏 @nottscoleoptera.bsky.social @coleopsoc.bsky.social #Beetles

A pair of Black-headed Gulls with three fledglings on their nesting platform at RSPB Ham Wall back in June. They look nice and calm here but were defending their young ferociously whenever there was a threat. #BirdOfTheDay #Parenting @atlanticbirding.bsky.social
