Here's trouble: my first Dingy Skipper of the year today, feeding up on Germander Speedwell prior to behaving badly. Male. Cotswolds.

Naughty girl! Mated female Peacock deliberately flew into a male territory this pm, egged him on, then told him she was washing her hair tonight and scuttled off...
'My Ramsons soul he leadeth...' Ramsons at peak in the Cotswolds today, plus its very own hoverfly Portevenia maculata
Breaking News! Purple Emperor caterpillar 'Mr Tumnus' has at last changed skin, to the 4th instar - after 9 days of trying (stuck at red lights - cold weather). His old skin lies beside him. Success...
Love at first sight! 5 mins of glimmers brought the stranded pair of Orange Tips in my garden together. Instant mating, for 20 mins. They then separated but cuddled up together, they're still there now.
Orange Tip egg on the edge of a Garlic Mustard leaf. Females prefer to lay on the sepals, but lay on leaf edges & undersides when the flower buds are too tight for easy access. This egg was laid when the flower spike was in tight cluster.
It's St Mark's Day, which means Bibio marci, the St Mark's Fly, should be doing its thing - only it's so cold & miserable nothing's flying. Cross. @flygirlNHM
Thought for the Day. Male Orange Tip roosting on Camassia in my garden, now. Add birdsong...
Worth a read...
The rain now falling here is 'birdsong rain'. Birds love it, they sing throughout. Percy Bysshe Blackbird, our resident cock Blackbird and MP, has sung throughout, plus Robins, etc., and a Common Whitethroat
Hors de combat today, but managed this freshly emerged male Small White in the garden...
Sudden in a shaft of sunlight... one of half a dozen Red Admirals feasting on Wild Cherry blossom in a woodland glade on top of the downs today. I think there was a small immigration on Sat 13th.
This mighty old oak may prove to be a Purple Emperor 'master oak', where the males aggregate for shenanigans. It's in a glade in a sheltered highpoint situation and is surrounded by sallows. I'll find out in June. Yesterday. Blenheim, Oxford.
Full to bursting point! Fully grown Pearl-bordered Fritillary larva in @CirencesterPark today. They're starting to pupate here (a 'late' site). ETA May 5th here.
Plants in flower ridiculously early down here this year, by mid-April: Elder (hello June, glad you could make it...), False Oat-grass, road verge red clover, Ox-eye Daisy, Hogweed. And they will be even more advanced around London...
And give us this day our daily Orange Tip...

@MatthewOates76 Probably pellucida but hard t be 100% sure. Yes, they deliver walking sticks to parasitised mining bees.
@MatthewOates76 We've had a few up here in the West Midlands. Assume they are beginning to get through winter
@MatthewOates76 This was February 15th in Torquay
@MatthewOates76 I had one feeding in the rain on Weds here in Kent.
If you are interested in heathland insects & other invertebrates, here's a link to a survey of Sutton Park, Birmingham carried out by @CKirbyLambert and myself in 2018-19: researchgate.net/publication/37…. We found 1,775 taxa, 81 with conservation statuses, despite a summer drought!
@MatthewOates76 I have a similar rookery in front of my house Matthew and often get lost watching their activity. Just occasionally during the nesting season, a pair of Ravens will try to steal an egg or chick. The Rooks go ape!
@MatthewOates76 I have a lovely black squirrel in my garden. All is well.
Great work by @ActivistAnglers @AnglingTrust and to be fair @carolinenokes was one of the few tories who voted for the anti dumping amendment unlike @PennyMordaunt who voted for it.
Well done Hampshire river keepers, @ActivistAnglers @AnglingTrust for getting this to parliament. Thanks @carolinenokes for being our voice and hopefully lesson learned to trust a word @SouthernWater say going forward. ✊✊
Extremely encouraging to see the return of the Marsh Fritillary to Church Hay, Bodmin Moor after absence of many years. Return first spotted 3 yrs ago by CBC's intrepid Marsh Fritillary Species Champion, Alan Stapleton. A legacy of BC's ATMB project and years of dedication by CBC
@MatthewOates76 @bugmanjones Appalling behaviour. Only permitted in tachinid flies (they have a rolling licence).
It was great to talk to @EvanHD on @BBCPM about the @ToadRescue We’re one of 200+ patrols across the UK helping amphibians on their journey to ponds (I’m on at just before 27 minutes in) 🐸 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
@MatthewOates76 I think these are Tete a Tete also in full bloom in mid February #Stroud #Spring #Flowers
Wow - this was an unexpected find yesterday. An adult hummingbird hawkmoth, in the UK, in mid-February... @MatthewOates76 @savebutterflies
@MatthewOates76 We saw our first yesterday too! My daughter took this photo of the briefest moment a fly landed on it before it fluttered away.
@MatthewOates76 @ChrisRaper @flygirlNHM Probably small anthomyiid flies Matthew. Also keep an eye out for tiny oil beetle triangulin larvae waiting for a solitary bee to visit that they can latch onto. Lots of images on the internet.
A mouse did that to our AA manual in the glove compartment of the car 🙀🙀
Tried to put moth trap out last night, but found Field / Wood Mouse have taken it over, and chewed up the egg boxes (and they're still playing marbles with hazel nuts on our attic floor boards at night - cats disinterested...)
