Garden wildlife. The appearance of a Jersey Tiger Moth made it a good time for a #BigButterflyCount! In the garden I'm generally seeing a few Speckled Wood, Peacocks and the occasional Comma, but unfortunately that's about it. #londonwildlife

There are many fallen trees all around the #BrentRiverPark. Leaving them to rot isn’t lazy, it’s part of the natural recycling process. They release nutrients slowly and are a great home to fungi, like these turkey tail, mosses and hundreds of mini beasts.
