I'd say our first attempt at a #wildflower meadow in our garden is a success! Plenty for #pollinators here, recognise any species?

Back from a lovely trip to Greece. I was a bit surprised there wasn't a huge volume of invertebrate life to check out, but what there was was very cool. These big metallic turquoise scarabs were one of the highlights!

Heck of a photo by Naomi Farmer from the other week. We think it's the larva of a striped ladybird.

Really worrying to see the numbers climbing like this. Hope it levels off soon.

Just a quick snap, but excited to see my first #mayfly making use of my new pond! #invertebrateecology

The rock pools in Dunbar are finally coming alive for the summer! Very excited to see these two. I suspect these are sea hares - a type of sea snail with an internal shell.

This is exciting!
With Greens in government we are establishing Scotland's first new National Park for 20 years. Where do you think it should be? 🌳news.stv.tv/scotland/scots-u…

Our uplands should be a nature rich mosaic of habitats not a man made monoculture. Where are the native trees? #Rewilding
One pleasing consequence of #NoMowMay that I hadn't thought of: the dandelion seeds are proving very popular with the local birds. We've started getting daily visits from some goldfinches!

Hiked for 6 hours today and saw 2 native trees the rest was man-made monoculture. It doesn't have to be this way these uplands could be a rich mosaic of woodland (yes even to the summits in places), peat bog and heather moor. We must repair our nature depleted country. #Rewild
