I was delighted to find several Dark-edged Bee-flies feeding on Primroses in Mill Wood, Gower last weekend. It’s been a good few years since I’ve seen any, more I’m sure due to my own lack of attention rather than the bee-flies themselves. #insects #UKWildlife #nature #wildlife #photography #bugsky

To insult two highly respected and free thinking politicians like this is disgraceful. It just shows how far standards in society have fallen. Anyone reposting this insulting photograph should feel utterly ashamed. 😡

Containers of cyanide swilling around the North Sea are why you should be sceptical of any politician promising a bonfire of regulations.

Just 1 teaspoon of neonicotinoids can kill 1.25 BILLION bees. Yesterday, over 1 million voices told the UK Government: stop allowing banned pesticides in our countryside. DEFRA, it’s time to end ‘emergency’ use. Protect pollinators vital to nature's recovery & our food security.
