Ajax would like to show everyone this great new stick he found.
Eurasian Magpies frequently cache their food, meaning that if they find something good when they are full, they hide it in a safe place to collect later.
Ajax just caught and killed this cricket and then tried to cache it in my armpit.
I’ve been in East Anglia this week, surveying farms and looking at the effects of organic farming on insect and bird communities. Here are some of the bees I saw!

My week of ecological research 🐝

Here are three different types of beetle I saw this week!
1. Thick-legged Flower Beetles (Oedemera nobilis)
2. The Wasp Beetle (Clytus arietis)
3. The Fairy-ring Longhorn Beetle (Pseudovadonia livida) 🌼
I’m not sure this guy really understands the rules of the game…
