Nicrophorus vespillo or the Rove Beetle (sometimes called the burying beetle) found in the stinky sludge at the bottom of our now empty water butt. A fine set of colours and shiny shell. I hope they find other sludge in which to reside very soon…

A report commissioned by RSPB, National Trust & The Wildlife Trusts finds that current investment in nature-friendly farming is woefully inadequate. Without an annual investment of £5.9 billion to support nature-friendly farming, the long-term viability of the UK farming industry is under threat.
Research shows for every pound of public money spent on nature restoration, the return is at least three times that investment.

On the #allotment I have a little orchard and the area is covered in tough-as-boots allotment grass. I’d love it to be a meadow but the grass is too strong. Last year I collected some yellow rattle seed and today I’ve found some seedlings in the grass. Just in time, as I was about to strim it!
(Yellow rattle feeds off grass so helps other plants to colonise). #meadow #gardening #NatureFriendly
