For #WorldWetlandsDay, we're shining a light on four of the 25% of Britain's threatened spider species that are wetland specialists. They're entirely dependent on aquatic habitats remaining wet, unpolluted and growing, not shrinking, in size and connectivity @naturalengland.bsky.social

Spot the huge #mole hill. Absolutely love these wee soil engineers! Why they are persecuted I’ll never know. Use the hummus soil for planters, mole hills means worms - healthy soil. Free drainage and aeration. #MolesAreNotPests
My opinion- love wildlife. 💚

Operation done but Atlas not out of the woods yet - he’s got the best doggy care ❤️🩹🙏🏻🐾🐾
Have been working on Atlas for just over 2 months.
He is a street dog who had nobody. This was his future. His ending.
In the last 48 hours we’ve been beside ourselves with worry but he made it. Look at those first steps ❤️

One of several brown hares I photographed today. It had been one of a group of 7 hares that were involved in mating displays well before the mad March hare time.

Four years ago I made a snow lantern! Used to do lots of outdoor activities in my job.
Several snowballs with a tealight inside.
Great fun and pleased it worked a treat. ❄️

These Guelder Rose berries really stood out amongst the gloom of a grey damp drizzly day. I planted this shrub amongst others fourteen years ago on the local nature reserve that I was working on with volunteers today. (My brilliant volunteers stood out on a grey damp drizzly day too) #WildflowerHour
