Blue Fleabane - nice to get one in focus, very fluffy! #wildflowerhour

Harebells on the White Cliffs of Dover - seem to be a week late with the wfh challenges... #wildflowerhour

Site visit to Kent Wildlife Trust Heather Corrie Vale (former Woodlands manor golf course) a Wilder Carbon project - one thing that struck me was how the ants nests had come up on the former fairways. Bit of weather but still a nice view from the former 18th tee! #nature #wildlife

Lots of Straw Barred Pearl at Rye Harbour yesterday, Common Sandpiper, several Cattle Egret and Sandwich Terns the bird highlights. #moths #birds #sussex

Red Hemp-nettle Covering off a couple of weeks challenges 😎#deadnettlefamily & #bythesea #wildflowerhour

Autumn gentian - first I have seen this year, and in a spot I'd not seen before, Shore Hill, Kemsing #wildflowerhour

Interesting how nearby sites vary on the North Downs - yesterday found quite a few Lace Border at Kemsing, today lots of Chalk Carpet at Trosley (while looking for Scabious Leaf Miner mines - a bit specialist!!) #moths #mothsmatter

Shrill Carder Bumble and Clouded Yellow Butterfly at Cliffe Pools this afternoon - I'd normally recommend this site to see Shrill Carder, but this was the only one I spotted - love to know the Shrill beewalk stats for Cliffe this year. #bees #butterflies #moths #pollinators

Marbled Green (Nyctobrya muralis) Rest Harrow (Aplasta ononaria) Small Mottled Willow (Spodoptera exigua) - a fairly uncommon migrant. Seen today while checking for signs of Fishers Estuarine moth. #moths #mothsmatter

Broad-leaved Helleborine - finally spotted some at Trosley country park earlier in the week - part of the new North Kent Woods and Downs NNR. kentdowns.org.uk/nkwd/directory… #wildflowerhour

Autumn Ladies Tresses - just starting to flower in places, last orchid of summer... pollinated by bees and bumblebees. #wildflowerhour

Black Horehound and Tufted Vetch - feeding the rarer bumbles until the Sea Aster pollinator magnet really gets going. Cliffe Pools. #wildflowerhour #pollinatorpals #bees

Visit to National Trusts Box Hill in Surrey today. Arrived early and found Clouded Yellows. Then Straw Belle and Scabious Leaf Miner survey with Butterfly Conservation 🦋 Kent and Surrey. Lots of Adonis Blue and Silver Spotted Skipper seen along the way #moths #butterflies #pollinators

The Vestal - a fairly irregular migrant moth species that breeds in southern Europe and North Africa - two seen at Kent Wildlife Trust Darland Banks today, along with a notable 250+ Straw Belle, might be the highest count on a single site for some time. #moths #MothsMatter

Straw Underwing, last night's visitor hiding out on a curtain now. Beautiful markings. #moths #insects #pollinators

Seasons feel like they are rapidly changing, far fewer butterflies, moths and bees on the wing yesterday at Trosley, best find, a couple of mating Treble-bar moths. #moths #bees #Butterflies #pollinators
