Last month, I had my first ever encounter with a slow worm! 🦎 I was beyond excited! I've been desperate to see a slow worm for years but never had any luck, the closest I got was a dead one at Kenfig Nature Reserve (still fascinating to get a close look!). We discovered this fellow on our first visit to a very local nature reserve to us, the Howardian Nature Reserve in Cardiff. Such an amazing find! Slow worms are actually legless lizards not snakes despite looking quite snake-like.
It's time for the #BigButterflyCount! 🦋 Running until 8th August, @savebutterflies host this UK-wide survey every year to assess the health of our natural environment. Head to their website or download the app to take part! We had a very successful count, we saw gatekeepers, meadow browns, red admirals, large whites, commas, ringlets and speckled woods at our local nature patch.
#30DaysWild Day 29. Another small skipper. June’s been a difficult month so I’ve not been able to post everyday for 30 Days Wild like I planned. But I’ve had a few exciting wild moments so that’s all I can ask for really 😊. Fingers crossed 🤞 for more wild adventures over the rest of the summer. #smallskipperbutterfly #mentalhealth #chronicpain
#30DaysWild Day 15. Watching mother blackbird feeding her fledged chick in the garden. Strangely there was also another female hanging around that got chased off! Sorry for the bad quality photo, I didn’t want to disturb them. It was a lovely moment that brightened an otherwise tough day. #30dayswild2021 #wildlifebloggercrowd #blackbirds
