Possibly my favourite picture ever of Gannets.

Two of the grass snakes in our garden working on producing the next generation. 🐍♥️

@L_Livingstone1 @higgy50 @PondDip @SomersetWT Nice. 😊

@WildImaging @higgy50 @PondDip @SomersetWT In honour of the first frogspawn of the year, I wrote a poem.

First #frogspawn of the year in my #Bridgwater pond on Saturday 7/2. ⁦@higgy50⁩ ⁦@PondDip⁩ ⁦@SomersetWT⁩ Not sure if #spawnmap is functioning for 2026.

@MarciaJuliet It certainly is. It’s a sort of synchronised swarming in warm weather when new queens meet eligible males and make new colonies. Plenty of info online. 🐜🪽

@WildImaging Flying ants? I had no idea this was a thing! Not sure I like it, tho.🤔☺️

A couple of days ago flying ants were everywhere in my #Bridgwater #garden. Above the house, hundreds of #gulls were presumably feasting on the swarm higher up. 🐜😋

@lnrwildphoto Good job Rob!

Ring Ouzel still showing nicely on the levels.

Only one Silver-spotted Skipper seen yesterday at Fontmell Down. Overcast and a bit cool perhaps but lots of Blues on the wing.

@lnrwildphoto Nice one Rob!

@lnrwildphoto Phew as you say!

@WildImaging Had a bit of a panic when the card wouldn't load and said it needed formatting. Managed to recover the pics by running check disc. Phew!

What's not to love about a Hummingbird Hawkmoth? Interesting that a shutter speed of 1/1000th of a second doesn't freeze the wings. When resting, they can easily be overlooked.

Yesterday evening we noticed about 20 small white (?plume) moths flying over a friend’s garden pond. They seemed to be possibly ovipositing on the surface weed. Anyone have any ideas about this? Thanks! @ukmoths

I think this is a female Migrant Hawker but please let me know if you disagree! @BDSdragonflies

Not just the garden enjoying the downpour this morning. 🐦🌧️

@AllanChard Excellent Allan. 🙂

Scarlet and Red-veined Darters in Dorset

@lnrwildphoto @ardman_liz Nice one Rob!

Dragonfly lifer today in the form of a male Golden-ringed along a tiny lane. @ardman_liz @WildImaging #flickr flic.kr/p/2reMCcT

@JohnTolfree Nice John!

@WildImaging 4 recorded on the Sweet track 25th.june.

White Admirals seen but sadly not photographed at Shapwick Heath today. Here's a consolation prize of what I think is a Southern Hawker.

Great wander around #Greylake today with @lnrwildphoto and @LizardMan looking for #Norfolkhawkers. There were a few around but probably more Brown hawkers seen. Here is today's record shot and a couple of nicer pics from #Radipole a few years ago.
