  6. A yellow Mallard Duck Chick, this is fairly rare, which is typically a hybrid or the result of crossbreeding between a wild Mallard and an escaped domestic White duck. May 2026.

  11. The dung beetle Onthophagus coenobita in Hedgemead Park in #Bath yesterday. Usually found on herbivore dung, but occasionally on carrion and decaying fungi. Might have flown in from the surrounding countryside. Males (like this one) have a prominent horn arising from the back of the head.

  16. My little mate Peanut is back in the wild garden again. 3rd time this week. I'm glad she finds some peace or security here. Im also thankful she visits.💖
    Do not build on the #greenbelt motherfuckers!
    Stop thinking about the sub par houses you'll build & the profit your going to make.
    Start thinking of the homes your destroying to make them.

  17. Last year I thought I saw a newt larvae at the brownfield site near where I live but I wasn’t confident in my ID but tonight we finally saw some adults in the same location! They haven’t been recorded here before so of course I’ll submit my record.

  22. A pair of squirrels taken from exactly the same spot within seconds that look like they could have been taken in different places at different times. I swear the second is higher up the next tree to the left of the one in the greenery.

    Both taken Wednesday 4th March - Memorial Park - Willenhall - West Midlands

  23. Might as well do some good news now as well :)

    Large Tortoiseshell butterflies are not extinct in the British mainland again :)

    I saw a couple of butterflies on the warm dry day last week but didn't ID quickly enough but they are out there for spotting already.

  24. A bonus day 25 of the 2025 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. After 24 of my own pictures I always end with this - E H Shepard's drawing of one of history's most famous dragonfly surveyors observing a Banded Demoiselle. Happy Christmas to those who celebrate, happy holidays to those who don't and happy dragonfly-watching in 2026 to one and all. #DragonflyAdventCalendar #invertebrates #ukwildlife #wildlife #insects #invertebrates

  25. Day 24 of the 2025 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. Common Darter is the commonest dragonfly of late summer and especially autumn. My last one this year was in November! This one from the botanical gardens at the natural history museum in #Paris in August. #DragonflyAdventCalendar #invertebrates #ukwildlife #wildlife #insects #invertebrates #photography
