A lovely morning spent on Hartland Moor, as part of an an enjoyable get together with some of the other @wildlifetraveller.bsky.social leaders, saw us taking in a wealth of rare and/or range-restricted heathland species, incl'g Southern Damselfly, Thomisus onustus, Chrysotoxum vernale, & Sand Lizard
a handful of highlights of a few days in the Spanish Pyrenees, giving our Aragon itinerary a bit of a refresh, 14 years since I was last here...
Pyrenean Iris, Alpine Marmot, Pyrenean Honeysuckle and Spanish Fritillary
so far, so fab

ended our leaders' meet up with a lazy wander around @rspb.bsky.social Arne reserve, with soaring Ospreys, a showy Dartford Warbler and snoring sows

this year's spring visit to Estonia is coming to an atmospheric end
last night our group headed out onto the bogs of Soomaa, where lekking Great Snipe bounced and a Lynx casually sauntered across the track...
#WildlifeTravelling at it's best
another year, another profile pic...
I'm not sure the perfect Scarce Swallowtail* photo exists, but that doesn't stop me trying to take it, time and again...
(*Iberian Scarce Swallowtail on this occasion...)

walked a little bit further than I planned today, and may have lost the path for a little bit... but well worth the extra steps when I bumped into this beautiful Asp

As there's an #orchid theme going on this evening, I thought I'd share four stunning species seen on the recent @wildlifetraveller.bsky.social Transylvania holiday that I led - intensely purple Green-winged-orchid, Three-toothed Orchid, Monkey Orchid and a very stately Sword-leaved Helleborine
New blog: #wildlifetravelling on Lesvos, Greece, at the turn of the month. Two nests of Krüper's Nuthatch, several Persian Squirrels & much more besides. @wildlifetraveller.bsky.social www.jameslowen.com/blog-10-may-...
a roasting day on the Purbeck heaths, catching up with @wildlifetraveller.bsky.social leaders
a whole suite of rare Purbeck inverts, Hobby and Woodlark and Dartford Warblers, lovely Lesser Water Plantain, overly friendly pigs, screaming Sika Deer, and my most wanted plant... Mousetail at long last
