In the South Devon #AONB, we have many #interesting and unique species. One of which is the Short Snouted Seahorse, spotted at Saltstone in the #Salcombe-Kingsbridge estuary by Ms. White!🌊 If you spot a seahorse, make sure to record it here: rb.gy/2qyzwf

1/3: 🤯The Retained EU Law Bill risks the loss or weakening of laws vital to the protection of nature, workers rights, food standards, health & safety and more. When Government first listed how many laws this would affect - @DefraGovUK thought that included 550 environment laws.. xitter.cf/sarahw243/status/16200…

How did your bees and hovers exploration from day 22 go? Is this a bee or a hoverfly? For a quick recap, you can view our Just a Minute video on the differences, here: youtu.be/YoSH2zM6mnI

It's day 26 of #30dayswild and Debs has been looking for #hidden #nature. There are masters of camouflage hidden in these two pictures - one of a Great Prominent (moth) and one of a Flower Crab spider. Can you tell us where they are? #biodiversity #wildlife #hunting #hiding

For #30dayswild we're coming back to 'things that look like other things'! We have a number of hoverflies which mimic bees, making it tricky to tell the difference. Our Just A Minute video explains some of the key differences to help you identify the pollinators you see.

It's #WorldBeeDay AND #MothNight and we simply can't choose! What better time to celebrate the fabulous Bee moth? The larva of this wonderfully camouflaged beast feeds on the contents of bee and wasp nests, so keep your eyes peeled! More from @ukmoths: ukmoths.org.uk/species/aphom…

Driftwood is beautiful - it can also be the foundation of new sand dunes forming. Best to leave it where it is and let nature take it’s course! #devon #lovedevon #ecology #beachclean #2minutebeachclean #wildlife
