It's always so rewarding to take part in #30DaysWild each year, gifting more focus, and an even greater appreciation for, the everyday #Nature experiences we all enjoy 🥰 I can't wait to get started tomorrow! ❤️

Rather striking Grey Dagger moth caterpillar. It really ought to hurry up and pupate - there's a cold northerly wind blowing this morning.

It begins. The early morning skies are beginning to fill up with Swallows, House and Sand Martins ahead of the long journey south.

Death's Head Hawk Moth crossed the Channel last night and crash landed in town. It squeaked when I picked it up!
No better way to start the day.

Hummingbird Hawkmoth sheltering from the tail end of whatever named storm it we're in the middle of. Love the #arrowhead at rest vibe.

Ye shall not pass! Female #Adder had a bit of a hissy fit at me and my big boots.

Long-winged Cone-head - not an insult from Star Trek but a lovely cricket resting in the allotment. Including antennae it was a svelte 4" in length.
(As a child I was afraid of ovipositors but I'm over it now.)

Turning over sheets of plywood or corrugated iron is a bit of a compulsion, but when the reward is a shiny bronze slow-worm...

Now this is why we like #StingingNettles. #Peacock #caterpillars love nothing better.

Walking a child's portion of the #PurbeckWay yesterday I counted thirty Wall Browns, but it was only this #Comma which didn't flit off.
