I've not posted in a good while but here's an awesome find from our woodchip piles - a slow worm! These funky fellas love warm, damp piles of organic detritus to sleep and lay eggs! #NaturePhotography #nature #slow #worm #outdoors #education @SayersCroft_

As summer draws to a close, I took this picture of a #honey #bee having a good meal on our #sunflowers in the garden @SayersCroft_. Here's to a *hopefully* nice autumn! #nature #outdoors #flowers #gardening

Bit of a gross one but this is actually a type of mold! It is known as 'Dog Vomit Slime Mold' (or Scrambled Egg Slime) and grows generally on mulched wood in wet conditions. This one is growing on what looks like slug slime! #mold #nature #fungus #plants #wood

A Grey Heron (?) spotted fishing along the Afon Llugwy @swallowfalls. We also saw a big fish jumping its way down the waterall just before which was awesome! #nature #water #waterfall #heron #bird #fish #wales #animals #river

Blue's not quite your colour mate! A very lost Speckled Bush Cricket on our bin @SayersCroft_ #nature #lost #insect #cricket #outdoors #teaching #education

@martincitopants have you seen this piece of frog-pog art? store.steampowered.com/app/1596950/Fr…

Look at this funky character! The #catapillar of the European Sycamore #moth. Found by staff @SayersCroft_ #nature #outdoors #discovery #learning #biodiversity

#Isolation #gardening has uncovered a small friend; they're a bit if a newtie! Possibly a Smooth Newt, but i'm no expert #nature #newt #outdoors #weeding #vegetables #Flowers

Say hello to our little friend! Caught in our moth trap lastnight @SayersCroft_, this Cockchafer (Maybug) has certainly nailed it's fashionable & unique look! #insect #cute #outdoors #learning #TwitterNatureCommunity #education #nature

I am very grateful to be mentioned in the ECMs Newsletter alongside the other @SayersCroft_ New Starters! Thank you @CityWestminster!

Helping as an assessor on a Bronze DofE practice walk across Blackheath down to Cranleigh with @SCTrust and Glebelands School. A brilliant day out even if it did rain for 90%! #dofe #dukeofedinburgh #outdoors #education #naviagtion #maps

this dude has done the best scicomm for the entire panera

One of the pair of Moorhens we have strutting their stuff @SayersCroft_; I believe this is the female as it the smaller of the two. #moorhen #birds #pond #naturephotograpahy #nature #outdoor #education #wildlife

**Sound on** to hear a badger really enjoying his snack. The garden team at Polesden Lacey were wondering what was eating the Jerusalem artichokes in the vegetable garden. So they set up a wildlife camera to catch the culprit. And now they know! 🎥 @PolesdenLaceyNT

Sayers Croft LNR is beautiful in the late afternoon. @SayersCroft_ #bluebells #woodland #reserve #nature #beautiful #outdoors #education

Bluebell season! We also have some rarer white bluebells too @SayersCroft_ #bluebells #nature #outdoors #instructor #education

We built a nest for a 'mouse' yesterday to see how moss/sticks/leaves insulate them during hibernation. Although it was part of my nature activity training, I find myself enjoying it like the children it is meant for! @SayersCroft_ #outdoors #instructor #training
