Woodcock x fly orchid hybrid 27.4.24
Pasqueflower (Pulsatilla vulgaris), showing off its downy stems and regal purple sepals. An arresting sight in a Cambs NNR this week. It’s a good thing I checked the book - 6 sepals, no petals. #wildflowerhour
Very interesting species seen in Teruel and Huesca with @Mariposa_Nature this past week. Erebia epistygne, Anthocharis euphenoides, Pseudophilotes panoptes and Boloria euphrosyne.
27/4/24 Dorset - I led my first home tour for @Mariposa_Nature this weekend. We made many great finds including reptiles and deer antlers as well as several fantastic plants, from peloric Spider #Orchids (Ophrys sphegodes) to Early #Gentians (Gentianella anglica) #wildflowerhour
Fantastic day on the Dorset coast with @Mariposa_Nature great guided walk with the excellent @thenewgalaxy highly recommend😁
Despite some challenging weather earlier today in the Spanish Pyrenees, we persevered on our Spring Butterflies of Central & N Spain tour, and finally got our just rewards - sunshine, orchids and butterflies! Highlights this afternoon many Lady Orchids, and smart Panoptes Blues.
One of several confiding Iberian Sooty Coppers enjoyed today by our guests on our Spring Butterflies of Central & Northern Spain tour. We're now in the Spanish Pyrenees for the next couple of days - looking forward to seeing what we find.

If there's a prettier Marbled White than Western, I'd like to know about it.
Sunday 28th April is the #InternationalDayOfTheDandelion & we are celebrating it with this week’s #WildflowerHour challenge! Post pics of Dandelions, interesting facts or share examples of how important it is for wildlife using the hashtag #DandelionChallenge, this Sunday 8-9pm!
A marvellous start to our Spring Butterflies of Central & Northern Spain tour this afternoon, with good numbers of fresh Spring Ringlet and Berger's Clouded Yellow flying together over flowery hillsides. Happy guests, and happy tour leaders!
For just 5 more days donations made to our @BigGive #GreenMatchFund campaign will be DOUBLED up to £20,000! Butterflies and moths are facing declines across Northern Ireland, but with your help we can protect these incredible species for the future 👇 donate.biggive.org/campaign/a0569…
Our popular plant photography tour leader @sarah_cuttle is about to start a week-long tour in Tuscany. She's been out and about there lately and the fields are *full* of Lady Orchids. We can't wait to see the images she and her guests will be taking! youtu.be/Ruc_djiQ7uU
One of the reasons our orchid tours do well is the network of supportive and helpful friends our tour leaders have in the European scene. We firmly believe in supportive collaboration with one another. Everyone benefits!

Our Orchids of Sicily tour finished yesterday, with over 40 species seen during the course of an enjoyable and laughter-filled week that featured, as well as orchids, delicious food, cultural history, birds and reptiles, and even song from our amazing tour leader Andrea Corso. 🇮🇹

Absolute patch gold this morning at Dartford barrier - 20+ Arctic terns, 5 Black terns and a Black-necked grebe!
A Small Copper from yesterday in the Montes Universales with @Mariposa_Nature, and an Iberian Sooty Copper from last year at the same location. The former species often shows blue spots on the hindwing; it's a more infrequent aberration in the latter species.
80 species today at Swanscombe and Stoke lagoon including 3 Kittiwakes, several Med gulls, Red Kite, Purple Heron, Cuckoo, Hobby and Whimbrel. Non avian highlights included Man orchid, Hairy dragonfly and Emperor moth. With @BarryWright12.
