A dull #JourneytoWork this morning was brightened by having this beauty fly, at low level, alongside the car for more than 500m. #LincsBirding #Lincolnshire @lincsbirding.bsky.social @lincswildlife.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social

A Common Buzzard flying at low-level over a recently cultivated arable land.

Cannot choose a #FavouritePlant but I always eagerly await the first Field Scabious flower each year and to watch the numerous insects that visit the blooms. #wildflowerhour

Chuffed to capture this Willow Emerald at home this morning, a first for our garden which @msj99.bsky.social had initially recorded earlier this week. Also in the garden today a Common Darter and two Migrant Hawkers. @britishdragonflies.bsky.social @lincswildlife.bsky.social
