Ruddy Darter at RSPB Newport Wetlands, 08.07.26. #odonata #ukdragonflies #ukwildlife
Fabulous to find a Common Blue butterfly laying eggs at Lamplighters Marsh, Bristol, today. (17.07.26) #ukbutterflies #ukwildlife @savebutterflies
The Wasp Spider (Argiope bruennichi). Several were found in their orb-webs amongst long grass at Portbury Wharf Nature Reserve (15.07.26). Their black and yellow wasp-like markings will be a good deterrent to predators! #spider #Invertebrate #ukwildlife @BritishSpiders
A first sighting for me! Southern Migrant Hawker dragonfly. There were several at Portbury Wharf Nature Reserve yesterday (15.07.26). A very pretty dragonfly with bright blue eyes. #odonata #ukdragonflies #ukwildlife
A delight to see a White-letter Hairstreak butterfly last week at Snuff Mills (Bristol, 10.07.26). Often spending time around the tops of trees, they're not easy to see, but they do descend to take nectar from nearby flowers. #ukbutterlfies #ukwildlife
The Small Copper is, well, a small butterfly! They can be seen perched on flower heads. Being territorial, they do chase off other insects that come nearby - often just as a nicely composed picture is lined up!! (Lamplighters Marsh, Bristol. 12.07.26) #ukbutterflies #ukwildlife
@severnrover Saw several Clouded Yellow at Lamplighters Marsh (Bristol) today.
A delight to find good numbers of Clouded Yellow butterfly at Lamplighters Marsh, Bristol, this morning. These bright yellow butterfly are a migratory European species and a regular visitor. (12.07.26) #ukbutterflies #ukwildlife #nature
Two female Broad-bodied Chaser #dragonfly seen near Lower Failand, North Somerset (07.07.26). As they age, their yellowish-brown colour dulls, and they may develop a dusty blue pruinescence. #odonata #ukdragonflies #ukwildlife
@Heather24623189 @BC_Glos @savebutterflies It appears I photographed the same today! My thought too, was that this Holly Blue was egg-laying. Snuff Mills, Bristol (10.07.26)
There I was, sitting by Duchess Pond at Stoke Park Estate (Bristol), when an Emperor Dragonfly joined me, just a couple of metres away. I sat there quite a while watching as she laid her eggs. (10.07.26) #odonata #dragonfly #ukdragonflies #ukwildlife #dragonflyweek
Seeing quite a few Holly Blue butterfly floating around the garden right now. Sometimes they even settle! Bristol, 27.06.26. #ukbutterflies #ukwildlife
Painted Lady butterfly egg laying at Lamplighters Marsh NR, Bristol, 26.06.26. Migrant butterflies first arrive in UK from northern Africa late March. The 0.65mm high are eggs laid on thistle leaves, the main food plant for the larva. #ukbutterflies #ukwildlife #bugsky
Ruddy Darter dragonfly at Lamplighters Marsh NR, Bristol this morning (25.06.26). The abdomen is raised towards the sun as a means of temperature control - the posture minimises the surface area exposed to the sun. #odonata #dragonfly #ukdragonflies #ukwildlife
The meandering #FlamboroughHead path offers superb views of nesting seabirds, including Kittiwake, Guillemot and Razorbill. AND, the Puffin! They were just a delight, ambling around the cliff edges outside their burrows. (12.06.26) 2/2 #seabirds #ukwildlife #birds
Flamborough Head is just spectacular! The chalk cliffs of the headland jut into the North Sea off the Yorkshire coast and make for a fabulous walk. Seals can be seen in the water and basking on the rocks in the sunshine. (12.06.26) 1/2 #ukwildlife #seal #flamboroughhead
Chiffchaff in the Daisy Field, Lamplighters Marsh NR, Bristol. (18.06.26) #bristolbirding #ukwildlife
@Wildwood_photos I was trying to catch one along a narrow reen a few days ago… just as I was about to give up, it landed! 👍 Got a couple of record pics before it was off again! 🙂
An Emperor dragonfly ovipositing (egg-laying) near Severn Beach, South Gloucestershire (21.06.26). Celebrate #insectweek with @BDSdragonflies #odonata #dragonfly #ukdragonflies #southglosdragonflies #ukwildlife
My first sighting of a Small Skipper this year, near Severn Beach, South Gloucestershire, yesterday. (21.06.26) #ukbutterflies #southglosbutterflies #ukwildlife #nature
