Bombus hortorum - a new gyne taking nectar from Phlomis russeliana flowers @cofnod.org.uk
A (sadly) rare sighting this morning - two Lapwing chicks just about fledged. Small patch of suitable habitat near Cilcain with a fab muddy pool. Great job by this tenacious pair! @birdsinwales.bsky.social @rspbcymru.bsky.social @btocymru.bsky.social #birdingWales

It is said that Bombus Brodmannicus isn't seen since the 1970's.
This flouf is one of 15 healthy California condor chicks to hatch at our conservation center this season. A new record!

It’s magical to be surrounded by Willow Tit fledglings. This one left the nest yesterday morning and is now c. 330 m northeast with 6 siblings and 2 tired parents! Interestingly, they’re just c. 85 m away from another Willow Tit nest due to fledge tomorrow. It’s about to get busy in this woodland!

Our evolutionary tree for all world bumblebees paper on the cover of Insects! One conclusion: males with enlarged eyes and short antennae are evolutionarily convergent which may be associated with truly territorial mate-searching behaviour (competing for perches)
