I am thrilled to share that the Connections with Nature anthology put together by @kateconservation is available for preorder! My writing is featured along with many other contributors from the @wildlifebloggercrowd. I’m very excited to get my hands on a copy!
In celebration of #NationalMarineWeek, I am thrilled to share a guest blog from fellow wildlife blogger Kayleigh. Click the link in my bio to find out more about these magnificent marine mammals!
Last month, I had my first ever encounter with a slow worm! 🦎 I was beyond excited! I've been desperate to see a slow worm for years but never had any luck, the closest I got was a dead one at Kenfig Nature Reserve (still fascinating to get a close look!). We discovered this fellow on our first visit to a very local nature reserve to us, the Howardian Nature Reserve in Cardiff. Such an amazing find! Slow worms are actually legless lizards not snakes despite looking quite snake-like.
It's time for the #BigButterflyCount! 🦋 Running until 8th August, @savebutterflies host this UK-wide survey every year to assess the health of our natural environment. Head to their website or download the app to take part! We had a very successful count, we saw gatekeepers, meadow browns, red admirals, large whites, commas, ringlets and speckled woods at our local nature patch.
