A couple of Cinnabar moths caught my eye this morning. Apparently common, I can't recall seeing them before. They are very distinctive with their crimson wings.

Lovely idea for a thread!
We've left part of the lawn wild to encourage butterfly & moths and was great sitting out there on Sunday seeing more than I have in the garden for years. Still not that many , but more!

Regrettably we don't get any badgers and not seen foxes for a while, but the hedgehogs are back again this year. I've resisted the urge to check both hedgehog houses so far this year.
Did have 3 in the garden earlier in the year but only seen two together recently.

There was a wasp bike in the bird box on the side of our shed. They’ve all left, so I investigated it. Amazing thing.

Cool. We had one last year in the we'd. Accidentally disturbed it with the strimmer. I didn't hang about long!

We went on holiday, then when we came home a badger had destroyed it.

I just left it all Summer, but of a bugger getting the bikes out, but that wasn’t that often in this shit weather, the mrs got stung once, so not too bad.

We chose to leave it. Badger chose a snack.

We noticed a wasps nest on the fence by the side of our house on just this Wednesday gone. We can't believe we hadn't spotted it before, although it is quite camouflaged. It's a beautiful thing.

Doh! Writing the above has made me realise which wood they scraped to make the nest 😆 Obvious, isn’t it!
