I heard my first singing Chiffchaff of the year at Cadbury Camp this afternoon. Spring is here! #avonbirds

Is the tag #wildflowerhour only meant to be used at a specific time? If so, is there an alternative tag for UK wild flowers?

#teammoth I have just set up my moth trap in the back garden. First time this year and first time in ages. Wish me luck!

Surprised to see a Small White today. Usually Green-veined is my first White of the year. How unusual is this for February? Also saw a Red Admiral today, far more expected #ukbutterflies

#ukbutterflies #ukwildlife Seen today on the heath a Comma Butterfly emerged onto the winters bracken. A unique Butterfly with its Jaggard edges and beautiful colours.

I have created a feed called UK Butterflies to collate photos, sightings and news of butterflies. Please follow and use the tag #ukbutterflies in your posts. There was a similar feed created by another user but it wasn't picking up any posts. Mine definitely works! @ukbutterflies.bsky.social

There is a good app called iRecord Grasshoppers which contains an ID guide to Orthoptera and related species and then allows you to add records to iRecord. Check it out! #ukorthoptera

An after-work visit to Backwell Lake produced a total of 32 bird species, including 1 Water Rail, 3 Tufted Duck, 11+ Shoveler, 4+ Little Grebe, a handful of Gadwall and 1 Little Egret. #avonbirds
