Very lucky to spot this Southern Hawker at Poors Allotment nature reserve today. Saw 15 species of butterfly there… just gorgeous watching them… a great day off work today 😊
Absolutely love it when you go out for a stroll down the lane and come across a beautiful thing such as this Jersey Tiger moth

A must watch. A powerful video from Norway displays gender based inequality. The look of dismay & confusion on the girls' faces upon receiving less for the same task was a little painful. They agreed it was unfair. "Girls are not less than boys." Credit: Finansforbundet, Boss Women Magic #Pinks
@weirdbristol.bsky.social I had my nails done today at the Hot Gossip nail Bar in Bedminster but forgot to ask why there is a horse above the door… any ideas?
I wonder if this red admiral will be the last butterfly 🦋 I see this year?
Large skipper. Plenty whizzing around Backwell Hill; luckily this once stopped for a photo 😊
@nailseanature.bsky.social it appears Nailsea is devoid of reptiles… guess there maybe some slow worms at the allotments… ?

@premnsikka.bsky.social As you ‘followed’ me, I googled you. I liked the info on you on Wikipedia - I hope it is all correct. In particular I agree with the statement ‘Sikka has called for banning MPs from having second jobs, referring to them as "institutionalised bribery".[7]’ 👍
Beautiful demoiselle and banded demoiselle. Just so, so…. Beautiful!
Sometimes it is luck that you see something in nature - happening to be at the right place at the right time - mating green tiger beetles at Poors allotment…
Possibly the worst photo of an adder, but so glad to get a record shot. Young male whizzed across path in front of me at Poors allotment nature reserve.
First lizard of the year today - wall lizard in Bristol by Clifton bridge
@ianbeavis.bsky.social Hi, I was in Bristol today - saw this bright green caterpillar on Rosemary… struggling to find what species it is. Wondered if you might help with identification as no luck with INaturalist
