More exciting nature encounters today. We see kestrels often by the lakeside, but never as close as this one sitting on the fencing to the new development.

European Garden Spider hiding in a nook on a Sedum plant. I've just finished reading Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky, so I'm still looking at spiders in a slightly different light.

From butterflies to bees. 🦋 🐝
Found this poorly little guy stumbling around on the grass.
My phone tells me it’s a European Wool Carder Bee. His wing is all busted up so I don’t know if he’ll make it but we’ve offered him a drink, which he gladly accepted. #Insects #Bee #UKWildlife
There’s a very pretty Tiger Moth taking a nap on my bag of compost. A shame it has its wings closed as the vivid orange underneath is beautiful. #Moths #Insects #Garden #UKWildlife

Below are some pictures of bees I've taken over these past couple of weeks. They're such cute, fuzzy creatures 🐝🩷 #bees #bumblebee #ukwildlife #cornwall #flowers

Out late this evening photographing #badgers in a local wood. I left out some peanuts and apples, and this badger was very happy to come across them. In #Bath #Somerset #UK.

Thought this photo was timely for the late spring bank holiday weekend. A Canada Goose gosling exploring the late spring countryside.

The Wren. Usually quite a timid bird this one was wanting to make itself known to my camera.
My Greeting card sales ends next Friday 26th May, so last chance to buy my cards at a reduced price. https://lauter.co.uk

Back at #RSPB #RainhamMarshes today after my, thankfully brief, first bout of Covid, I got a lovely reward of 3 queen Shrill Carder Bees along the river wall.

Follow the leader!!
I captured this image of these three deer back in February. Last week we went to the same field and there were another three. This time I didn’t get a good photo of them as passing cars spooked them and they went off in the opposite direction. I hope I will see them again with my new camera though!

"Look up, listen, and be very concerned. #Birds are vanishing – and their crisis is our crisis - More than 40,000,000 birds have disappeared from UK’s skies since 1970: a trend that imperils the network that gives us life"
The #UK has lost 40,000,000 birds since 1970 and #Europe as a whole has lost 600,000,000 birds since 1980. The British figures, especially for farmland species such as skylark and lapwing, have long been the worst of any country in the region. The North American continent, meanwhile, but especially the #US, has seen #avian populations fall by almost a third since 1970, losing a cumulative 3,000,000,000 birds."

Really enjoying the Merlin Bird ID app to magically reveal what birdsong you can hear in real-time.
Here is what we heard during a quick 5 minute walk at dusk chorus.
