Summer lovin'...

Had a good trap @goodsmallfarms Hammond’s Farm on Friday night. 170 moths of 58 species. 39 new species to site, 3 BAP species and 3 localised

It also included my first Gloucestershire record of Jersey Tiger moth, which I’m sure will now spread

They're beavering away...

By felling trees and damming streams, beavers turn woods into wetlands – creating space for amphibians, invertebrates, and even raptors.

Read how nature’s engineers are rewilding Britain & cleansing waters. 🛠🌿🦫
A dam good year: those fascinating beavers breed again
A third year of beaver births at Sculthorpe Moor highlights the vital role these ecosystem engineers play in restoring biodiversity

nhm-london.bsky.social Natural History Museum, London @nhm-london.bsky.social · Jun 5
This problem is widespread. In our Fixing Our Broken Planet gallery, you can see three birds' nests made by a Eurasian reed warbler, a long-tailed tit and a blackbird, all containing plastic materials that can fatally harm chicks.

Hello! We're here on Blue Sky now. Come and say hello!

We're all about Stroud and all about nature, so please do say hello if you're a fellow nature-lover - and please feel free to ask us questions about what we do and how you can get involved.
