Many thanks to #volunteer Ian Reilly for an evening adventure to find brown hairstreak caterpillars at #LowerSmiteFarm! 🐛💚
The caterpillars of these scarce butterflies fluoresce under UV light so, armed with torches and safety glasses, the gang were delighted to find several in the hedges. 🔦
It is a pied wagtail 🐦 Their black-and-white markings and long, wagging tail make them easy to identify as they hop across the road or lawn.
We have a camouflaged #MondayMystery for you this week... can anybody identify what our colleague Ion spotted in #Worcester recently?
✨ Tip: you might need your spectacles 🥸
It's Monday morning which can only mean one thing - it's #MondayMystery time!
Can you guess who was enjoying some breakfast on Tessa's pond at #LowerSmiteFarm recently? 🤔
