Amazed to not only see a new species of butterfly that Iβve only previously seen abroad, but also to record it less than a mile from my house, and to top it off, an even rarer variant call βHelice.β Ladies & gentlemen, I give you the Clouded Yellowβ¦! ππ¦

Blue bottles are pollinators too! This handsome blow fly (Calliphora sp.) is feeding at field maple (Acer campestre) flowers. Pollen grains can even be seen attached to the animal's legs & thorax.π³@pollinatorproj @ReadingUrbPolls @Buzz_dont_tweet @wildflower_hour @WoodlandTrust

If you'd like to do something nature-related (but indoors!) in #Guernsey next week - with or without children - come and see us at Candie!
We'll be talking about the biggest, fastest and smelliest pollinators on Weds & have drop-in workshops on Friday.

Pollinators donβt tend to get up on wet February morning β but today we did! We had a great time at the B4-8 Breakfast Club, sharing facts about pollinating insects and why theyβre essential to the islandβs food β and to our favourite treats - coffee, chocolate, and even tequila

2... Without bees, butterflies, and even bats, little luxuries like coffee, chocolate, and even tequila would not exist. Bees pollinate coffee plants, butterflies help cacao trees thrive for chocolate, and bats are the hidden heroes of the agave plant, which gives us tequila!

3... Protecting these pollinators means protecting the foods and drinks we love. You can help by planting wildflowers locally and avoiding pesticides, and supporting sustainable farms here and abroad.

Sightings of butterflies are trickling in - species that overwinter as adults - Comma, Small Tortoiseshell, Peacock, Brimstone and Red Admiral can make the most of early sunny days. If you see one, do log it via the iRecord Butterflies app. buff.ly/3rzMS6s

Light pollution is becoming increasingly detrimental to wildlife. π‘π‘
It will affect species, such as Owls and Bats, by blurring the boundaries of day and night, impacting behaviour. π¦π¦π¦π¦

Coastal grassland is our most florally diverse grassland habitat. This habitat has declined overall by 16% since 1999.π
Coastal heathland thrives on nutrient-poor soils. This habitat only has a few patches remainingπͺ²π΅οΈ
